Turbulent flow separation over a wall-mounted hump model and its control using plasma actuators were studied numerically and experimentally. The hump model chosen in this study was that used in a 2004 NASA Langley CFD validation workshop for turbulent separation control using synthetic jets. The numerical simulations solved the Reynoldsaveraged Navier-Stokes equations using Fluent. Different tu...

The lag model proposed by Olsen and Coakley (2001) is applied to simulate the steady and unsteady transonic flows in a diffuser. The unsteady flows are induced by imposing fluctuating back-pressures. A fully implicit time–accurate multigrid algorithm is used for solving the Navier-Stokes equations and the coupled k-ω turbulence model equations. Two test cases are investigated, one with a weak s...

• A benchmark experimental database for the transitional cavity flow is presented. RANS simulations were conducted using standard k-ω and SST turbulence models. main recirculation region two secondary vortices inside found. The separating does not reattach on bottom wall of cavity. forward-facing edge reattachment highly unsteady. yields more accurate predictions than k-ω. We present an flow. o...

The paper considers the problem of selecting a turbulence model to simulate natural convection near surface VVER-1000 fuel assembly unloaded from reactor by computational fluid dynamics (CFD simulation) methods. is selected comparing calculated data obtained using Ansys Fluent software package with results experimental studies on heated vertical plate immersed in water, which simulates side fac...

– We propose a ballistic coalescence model (punctuated-Hamiltonian approach) mimicking the fusion of vortices in freely decaying two-dimensional turbulence. A temporal scaling behaviour is reached where the vortex density evolves like t. A mean-field analytical argument yielding the approximation ξ = 4/5 is shown to slightly overestimate the decay exponent ξ whereas Molecular Dynamics simulatio...

The model-checking problem for probabilistic systems crucially relies on the translation of LTL to deterministic Rabin automata (DRW). Our recent Safraless translation [KE12,GKE12] for the LTL(F,G) fragment produces smaller automata as compared to the traditional approach. In this work, instead of DRW we consider deterministic automata with acceptance condition given as disjunction of generaliz...

Coarctation of the aorta is one of the five main congenital cardiovascular failures, accounting for 6–8 percent of these failures. This research aimed to simulate the blood flow of a seventeen-year-old male teen with a mild coarctation at one-third of his aorta's descending branch. The simulation was performed by extracting the domain and the input pulsatile velocity signal as the boundary cond...

The results of detailed numerical simulation of the flow in an injector including electrohydrodynamic interaction in sharply inhomogeneous electric field formed by electrode system closed to the needle-plane type are presented. The aim of the simulation is to estimate the charge rate flow at the fuel injector outlet. The results were obtained using the open-source package OpenFOAM in which the ...
