The Inject Pipe Mixer (IPM) are being used as venturi injectors and can also homogenize two fluids. The entry of secondary fluid as a jet influences flow field in the device. A CFD simulation of flow through an IPM (Lshape) has been carried out using ANSYS CFX 11.0 using water as the flowing fluid to understand the flow field under turbulent flow conditions using standard k--ε model. The result...

In this work, analytical solutions are provided to the nonlinear equations arising in thermal and flow-induced vibration in fluid-conveying structures using Galerkin-differential transformation method with cosine aftertreatment technique. From the analysis, it was established that increase of the length and aspect ratio of the fluid-conveying structures result in decrease the nonlinear vibratio...

It has been well established that heat transfer in a helical coil is higher than that in a corresponding straight pipe. However, the detailed characteristics of fluid flow and heat transfer inside helical coil is not available from the present literature. This paper brings out clearly the variation of local Nusselt number along the length and circumference at the wall of a helical pipe. Movemen...

The dynamic interaction between the unsteady flow occurrence and the resulting vibration of the pipe are analyzed based on experiments and numerical models. Waterhammer, structural dynamic and fluid–structure interaction (FSI) are the main subjects dealt with in this study. Firstly, a 1D model is developed based on the method of characteristics (MOC) using specific damping coefficients for init...

Abstract: This paper proposed three-dimensional numerical simulation method by coupling of electrostatic and fluid fields to evaluating the performance of electrical sensor in the concentration measurement of gas/solid two-phase flow. Compared with the static numerical simulation, this real-time dynamic 3-D simulation method can research on a designed capacitance sensor combining the dynamic ch...

Direct numerical simulation of three-dimensional (3D) viscous flow in a wavy pipe is performed using the lattice Boltzmann approach, to study 3D flow features in a curved pipe with nonuniform curvature. We first validate the lattice Boltzmann approach by simulating a transient flow in a straight pipe. In a wavy pipe, it is shown that the pressure gradient necessary to drive the flow depends mor...
