Massively parallel finite element computations of 3D, unsteady incompressible flows, including those involving fluid-structure interactions, are presented. The computations with time-varying spatial domains are based on the deforming spatial domain/stabilized space-time (DSD/SST) finite element formulation. The capability to solve 3D problems involving fluid-structure interactions is demonstrat...

In the present study, non-Newtonian flow in annular pipe is considered. The analytical solution for velocity and temperature fields is presented while entropy generation due to fluid friction and heat transfer is formulated. The third grade fluid with constant properties is accommodated in the analysis. It is found that reducing non-Newtonian parameter increases maximum velocity magnitude and m...

computational fluid dynamics (cfd) simulations of gas-solid flow through a positive low-pressure pneumatic conveyor were performed using eulerian-eulerian framework. pressure drop in pneumatic conveying pipelines, creation and destruction of plugs along the horizontal and vertical pipes, effect of 90° elbows and u-bends on cross-section concentrations, and rope formation and dispersion were num...

Abstarct: Flow through pipes and heating situations find wide applications in industry. Depending on the fluid properties, temperature field in the pipe changes. This in turn results in thermodynamic irreversibility in the flow system. Thermodynamic irreversibility can be quantified through amount of entropy generation in the thermal system. Consequently, in the present study, the influence of ...

Abstract Disposing of coal gangue and fly-ash on the surface is a risky method with tremendous potential catastrophic consequences for environment. Backfill mining promising practice turning those hazardous wastes into functional backfill materials. Unfortunately, how to efficiently deliver slurry desired places remains under-researched. To address this issue, computational fluid dynamics softw...
