the liquid metal flow and the solidification behaviours in a multi-cavity casting mould of two automotive cast parts were simulated in three dimensions. the commercial code, flow-3d® was used because it can track the front of the molten metal by a volume of fluid (vof) method and allows complicated parts to be modeled by the fractional area/volume obstacle representation (favor) method. the gre...

In this paper the intake manifold as the most effective part on engine’s volumetrice efficiency is in vestigated in detail with emphesizing on flow behavior and characterestics. The eight different design have been  prepared  and  imported to CFD software. Five objective functions for investigation of flow have been connsidered and applied in TOPSIS with different weights. Mass flow rate,massfl...

the present research simulates time-periodic unsteady transonic flow around pitching airfoils via the solution of unsteady euler and navier-stokes equations, using time spectral method (tsm) and compares it with the traditional methods such as bdf and explicit structured adaptive grid method. the tsm uses a fourier representation in time and hence solves for the periodic state directly accordin...

microfluidic flow focusing devices have been utilized for droplet generation on account of its superior control over droplet size. droplet based microfluidics addressed many scientific issues by providing a novel technological platform for applications such as biology, pharmaceutical industry, biomedical studies and drug delivery. this study numerically investigated the droplet generation proce...
