The wind loads considerably influence lightweight spatial structures. An example of spatial structures is scallop domes that contain various configurations and forms and the wind impact on a scallop dome is more complex due to its additional curvature. In our work, the wind pressure coefficient (Cp ) on the scallop dome surface is studied numerically and experimentally. Firstly, the programming...

The design and optimization of hydrocyclones using CFD techniques are gaining popularity and the key to a successful simulation lies with the accurate description of the high turbulent swirling behavior of the flow. This paper presents a detailed co...

The spacer grid has a significant impact on the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of rod bundle channel, which directly determines possibility boiling crisis. multi-phase flow model coupling is proposed to acquire secondary and void fraction for subcooled in fuel assembly. Compared with experimental data, RNG k–ε turbulence selected current research. In addition, parameters 5 × are studied focu...

In order to measure flow rate in open channels, including irrigation hydraulic structures are used with a relatively high degree of reliance. Venturi flumes among the most common and efficient type, they can discharge using only water level at specific point within converging section an empirical relationship. There have been limited number attempts simulate venturi flume computational fluid dy...

This study evaluates the idea that consciousness is creating an influence on the environment in a way that makes random systems (Random Number Generator – RNG) become more ordered. This evaluation is combined with an exploration of two, potentially, influencing factors: distance from the target and awareness of the target. The experimental procedure was based upon data derived from meditating g...

Shell and tube heat exchangers are used to transfer thermal energy from one medium another for regulating fluid temperatures in the processing pasteurizing industries. Enhancement of a rate is desired maximize efficiency shell exchangers. In this research work, we performed computational dynamics (CFD) simulations experimental analysis on using round hexagonal tubes range flow velocities both p...

This research examines the effect of using Bayburt stone or basalt as an energy storage unit in SCPPs. The low-cost materials on system performance is evaluated. Based Manzanares pilot plant (MPP), a 3D CFD model was created. Geometric parameters were kept constant simulations performed with ANSYS FLUENT engineering commercial software. In addition to DO (discrete coordinates) for radiation mod...
