Modeling of heat transfer is presented for the entire Czochralski Si-growth furnace. The axisymmetric steady-state approach with moving computational grids is used. Melt turbulent flow, inert gas flow, heat transfer in solid parts, and radiative heat transfer in the system are considered. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations written with the Boussinesq approximation and the energy equa...

The stability of the circular Couette flow of a dielectric fluid is analyzed by a linear perturbation theory. The fluid is confined between two concentric cylindrical electrodes of infinite length with only the inner one rotating. A temperature difference and an alternating electric tension are applied to the electrodes to produce a radial dielectrophoretic body force that can induce convection...

The classical Helmholtz problem is applied for modelling the axisymmetric inviscid cusp-ended separated flow around a sphere. Two coordinate systems are employed: polar for initial calculations and parabolic the latter being more suitable for investigation of infinitely long stagnation zones. Scaled coordinates are introduced and difference schemes for the free-stream equation and the Bernoulli...

An analysis is carried out for axisymmetric stagnation flow of a micropolar nanofluid in a moving cylinder with finite radius. The coupled nonlinear partial differential equations of the problem are simplified with the help of similarity transformations and the resulting coupled nonlinear differential equations are solved analytically by homotopy analysis method HAM . The features of the flow p...

Instability of a viscous incompressible flow between two rotating concentric cylinders has been investigated numerically. The outer cylinder is stationary and the inner one rotates and moves axially simultaneously. D Chebychev tau method is used to solve eigenvalue problem governing the investigation of flow stability, In the Chebychev tau method, the eigen functions of governing equations are ...

The steady, coaxial flow in which two immiscible, incompressible fluids of differing densities move past each other slowly in a vertical cylindrical tube has a continuum of possibilities due to the arbitrariness of the interface between the fluids. By invoking the presence of surface tension to at least restrict the shape of any interface to that of a circular arc or full circle, we consider th...

The aim of this work is to determine the supersonic nozzle profiles used in propulsion, for the launchers or embarked with the satellites. This design has as a role firstly, to give a important propulsion, i.e. with uniform and parallel flow at exit, secondly to find a short length profiles without modification of the flow in the nozzle. The first elaborate program is used to determine the prof...

This paper deals with the study of ureteral peristalsis in cylindrical tube through porous medium. In reality, there are solid particles present in the flow, but it is necessary to understand the behaviour of the fluid flow. The flow is analyzed for a single traveling wave in an axisymmetric tube with an incompressible, Newtonian fluid. The wavelength of the traveling wave assumed to be large. ...

A comparison between the experimental visualization and numerical simulations of the occurrence of vortex breakdown in laminar swirling flows produced by a rotating endwall is presented. The experimental visualizations of Escudier (1984) were the first to detect the presence of multiple recirculation zones and the numerical model presented here, consisting of a numerical solution of the unstead...
