The onset of double diffusive convection in a viscoelastic fluid-saturated porous layer is studied when the fluid and solid phase are not in local thermal equilibrium. The modified Darcy model is used for the momentum equation and a two-field model is used for energy equation each representing the fluid and solid phases separately. The effect of thermal non-equilibrium on the onset of double di...

In this paper we consider a simplified model for fluid-solid interaction in one space dimension. The fluid is assumed to be governed by the viscous Burgers equation. It is coupled with a finite number of solid masses in the form of point particles, which share the velocity of the fluid and are accelerated by the pressure difference of the fluid on both sides. We prove global existence and uniqu...

We present a simulation framework to integrate several aspects of the combustion and burning process in a unified and modular manner. A simple three gas flame model is used to simulate a combustion process, while air motion is simulated as a single moving fluid. Solid objects inside the simulation domain can catch fire and start burning. Heat information is transferred from the fluid simulator ...

Granular flow simulation using CFD has received a lot of attention in recent years. In such cases, CFD is either, coupled with Discrete Element Method (DEM) techniques for appropriate incorporation of inter-particle collisions, or the Eulerian CFD approach is used in which granular particles are treated as they were fluid. In the present study, a CFD analysis was performed...

We propose a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction method of human hair-shape from rotating head multiple video captured images and CT data. It is well known that no hair is present on the polygonal skin surface of the human head (3D-head) reconstructed from CT or MRI data. Our task is to reconstruct and add the hairshape on the 3D-head to create a realistic human head model for simulating post...

We present a pore-scale study of two-phase relative permeability in homogenous-wet porous media, and porous media altered to a mixed-wet state. A Shan-Chen type multicomponent lattice Boltzmann (LB) model is employed to determine pore-scale fluid distributions and relative permeability. Mixedwet states are created by altering the wettability of solid surfaces in contact with the nonwetting phas...

A novel design for a strip-type microthrottle pump with a rectangular actuator geometry is proposed, with more efficient chip surface consumption compared to existing micropumps with circular actuators. Due to the complex structure and operation of the proposed device, determination of detailed structural parameters is essential. Therefore, we developed an advanced, fully coupled 3D electro-flu...

the formation of ice on a cold surface and its shape, play an important role in some of the various problems. the position of solid surface of ice accretion, its growth shape and the effect of liquid phase on it, are important parameters in the various applications. difficulty of analytic techniques and expensive of experimental methods encourage the numerical modeling procedures in the investi...

Fundamental solutions of dynamic poroelasticity and generalized thermoelasticity are derived in the Laplace transform domain. For poroelasticity, these solutions define the solid displacement field and the fluid pressure in fluid-saturated media due to a point force in the solid and an injection of fluid in the pores. In addition, approximate fundamental solutions for short times are derived by...
