the non-uniformity factor is used for correction of the formulas obtained from the one-dimentional fluid flow method in a centrifugal impeller pump. the variations of radial velocity at the outlet of five centrifugal impellers with the specific speed of about ns =50 are calculated at design point by using two-dimentional potentional flow method for an invisid fluid. on the other hand~ the varia...

channel flows have three components of velocity, 1component in flow direction and 2components in spanwise of channel. because of heterogeneity of velocity undulations, in the channel section the vortices are formed that are nominated “secondary current cells”. these cells cause the lateral shear stress in the channel walls and introduce the erosion and scour of the channel walls. heterogeneity ...

Squeeze cementing is a process used to repair leaking oil and gas wells, in which cement slurry driven under pressure fill an uneven leakage channel. This results Hele-Shaw type flow problem involving yield stress fluid. We solve the using augmented Lagrangian approach advect forward fluid concentrations until stops. A planar invasion radial (perforation hole) are studied. The characteristics o...

this paper describes the effects of induced magnetic field and partial slip on the peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluids in an asymmetric channel. the two dimensional equation of couple stress fluid are simplified by making the assumptions of long wave length and low reynolds number. the exact solutions of reduced momentum equation and magnetic force function have been computed in wave fra...

This study numerically investigated heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics in a novel cylindrical heat sink with helical minichannels for the laminar flow of fluid with temperature-dependent properties. A finite volume method was employed to obtain the solution of governing equations. The effects of helical angle, channel aspect ratio, and Reynolds number, which were regarded as main para...

In the Manning equation the hydraulic radius can be defined as the cross-section dimension of the shape. In pipe flow the bed shear stress is assumed to be uniformly distributed along the wetted perimeter which cannot be true in open channel flow. Hence, three approximation of the true boundary shear-stress distribution are examined and more practical conveyance depth or resistance radius formu...

In this paper, flow and heat transfer of nanofluid through a converging or diverging channel with porous medium is investigated. The fluid constantly flows under the effect of magnetic field through the channel. The diverging/converging fluid motion is modeled using the momentum and energy equations. The influence of some parameters such as opening channel angle, Reynolds number and Darcy’s num...
