The effect of radiation on laminar and turbulent mixed convection heat transfer of a semitransparent medium in a square enclosure was studied numerically using the Finite Volume Method. A structured mesh and the SIMPLE algorithm were utilized to model the governing equations. Turbulence and radiation were modeled with the RNG k-ε model and Discrete Ordinates (DO) model, respectively. For Richar...

A physical model for flow characteristics analysis of labyrinth-channel emitter is reconstructed by Reverse Engineering from an injection molded part, and both laminar flow and turbulence models are adopted to simulate the flow state under the condition of low Reynolds numbers. According to the distribution of separation and reattachment points, the onset of transition from laminar to turbulent...

This paper focuses on using the numerical finite volume method (FVM) and artificial neural network (ANN) in order to propose a correlation for computing the entrance length of laminar magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) channels flow. In the first step, for different values of the Reynolds (Re) and Hartmann (Ha) numbers (600<ReL increases.

Many spatial patterns observed in nature emerge from local processes and their interactions with the local environment. The clustering of objects by social insects represents such a pattern formation process that can be observed at both the individual and the collective level. In this paper, we study the interaction between air currents and clustering behaviour in order to address the coordinat...

Direct numerical simulation was performed on two patient-specific abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) using physiologically realistic flow conditions. The patients have AAA with diameters of approximately 5 and 7 cm, respectively. The blood flow hemodynamics are shown to consist of large-scale periodic structures and the flow transitions from laminar-to-turbulent and back to laminar during a pulse...

A controlled ex-vivo study of a simple, sinusoidally oscillating flow in a rigid, constant-area, smooth tube, has produced significant insight into the laminar-turbulent transition phenomenon. The development of turbulence was studied by analyzing the dynamic characteristics of the transition process; i.e., the velocity, growth rate, and intermittency which describe the generation and propagati...
