In the present paper, a three dimensional annular developing incompressible laminar flow through 270- degree curved pipe is numerically simulated. The dimensionless governing equations of continuity, momentums and energy are driven in toroidal coordinates. The governing equations are discretized by projection algorithm using forward difference in time and central difference in space. A three-di...

The objective of this study is to find the temperature distribution of a slab as it moves through the pusher-type preheat furnaces. First, the imaginary planes method (IPM) as a new and applicable method for calculation of radiation heat transfer in industrial furnaces is studied, and the two-dimensional form of this method is used to calculate heat flux and temperature distribution in the furn...

mold powders are fluxing agents used as raw materials in the steel industry, which play very important role inprocessing stability and final surface quality of a product. surface quality depends particularly on the viscosity and the heat transfer of infiltrated mold flux between the mold wall and the solidified steel shell. heat flux across the interfacial gap depends on thermal properties of s...

We construct a local Lax-Friedrichs type positivity-preserving flux for compressible Navier-Stokes equations, which can be easily extended to high dimensions for generic forms of equations of state, shear stress tensor and heat flux. With this positivity-preserving flux, any finite volume type schemes including discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes with strong stability preserving Runge-Kutta tim...

A theoretical investigation is performed for studying the flow of heat transfer characteristics of Sakiadis and Blasius flow of magnetohydrodynamic Maxwell fluid with thermal radiation. We also incorporated the Cattaneo-Chirstov heat flux model to control the heat transfer phenomena. Numerical solutions are carried out by using Shooting technique. The effects of various governing parameters on ...

Analysis of the fifteen years of European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalysis suggests that the transition from dry to wet season in Southern Amazonia is initially driven by increases of surface latent heat flux. These fluxes rapidly reduce Convective Inhibition Energy (CINE) and increase Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE), consequently providing favourable co...

A one-dimensional divergence of the monochromatic heat flux for wall-affected attenuating thingas, is developed from general considerations. Here Ebl. K~ cy and r, respectively denote the monochromatic values of the emissive power, absorption coefficient of gas, wall emissivity and optical thickness; , E, is the second exponential integ-ral, y the -4' coordinate normal to boundary. infinite geo...

Various gaps in the surface of the supersonic aircraft have a significant effect on airflows. In order to predict the effects of attack angle, Mach number and width-to-depth ratio of gap on the local aerodynamic heating environment of supersonic flow, two-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved by the finite volume method, where convective flux of space term adopts the Roe f...
