A computationally efficient method to approximate the total sound power and far-field acoustic intensity spectra generated by turbulent flow past a rigid body is proposed. The method is based on Proudman’s analytical formula for the sound generated by isotropic turbulence. This formula expresses the sound intensity of locally isotropic turbulence for low Mach numbers in terms of the kinetic ene...

The self-noise generated by a flat plate immersed in low Mach number flow is predicted using a hybrid RANS-BEM technique. A Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulation is performed of the turbulent flow over the flat plate. The predicted flow field data, such as mean velocity, turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent dissipation rate, is then processed using a statistical noise model and co...

A novel numerical scheme has been developed to simulate high speed viscous flows in complex geometries using unstructured grids. A characteristic–filter based shock capturing scheme is applied as a corrector step to a non–dissipative predictor scheme. This algorithm is being used to study shock turbulent boundary layer interactions and this paper presents the results of a turbulent flow at Mach...

The turbulent flow field generated in a baffled stirred tank was computed by large eddy simulation (LED) and the flow field was developed using the Sliding Mesh (SM) approach. In this CFD study, mixing times and power number have been determined for a vessel agitated by a 6-blade Rushton turbine. The predicted results were compared with the published experimental data. The satisfactory results ...

In this paper, the problem of turbulent forced convection flow of water- alumina nanofluid in a uniformly heated pipe has been thoroughly investigated. In numerical study, single and two-phase models have been used. In single-phase modeling of nanofluid, thermal and flow properties of nanofluid have been considered to be dependent on temperature and volume fraction. Effects of volume fraction a...

Among the all parameters affecting the performance of a downhole de-oiling hydrocyclone, the investigation of internal flow field deserves more attempts especially in the petroleum industry. In this study, the effects of inlet flow rate, inlet oil volume fraction, and oil droplet diameter on the separation efficiency and pressure drop ratio have been investigated along the hydrocyclone body. Al...

in order to increase the rate of gas absorption, chemical reaction in the liquid phase is considered. the purpose of this paper was to simulate gas absorption process by a liquid film over a spherical packing incorporating eddy viscosity and diffusivity. second order chemical reaction for two different cases (fast and slow) were considered. the system partial differential equations obtained was...
