Cavitation is among the most complicated and common damages of spillway structures. This phenomenon is controlled by different parameters including the pressure, flow velocity, spillway surface material, operation time, and air flow content. The cavitation index is calculated along the spillway and compared with its critical value using the measured values of the flow’s hydraulic parameters. Th...

A microchannel reactor improves the overall mass and heat transfer as compared with a conventional reactor. This is attributed to creation of high area-to-volume ratio enhanced mixing due presence vortices inside slug. In this paper, mass-transfer performance was studied using cross-junction microchannel. Subsequently, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) method used observe oil concentration cont...

In this paper, an HLLC-type contact preserving Riemann solver for incompressible two-phase flows using the artificial compressibility formulation is presented. This improvement over previous HLLC-VOF (Bhat and Mandal, 2019). work, unlike formulation, variation of volume fraction taken into account when calculating eigenvalues eigenvectors. Hence, equations intermediate states wave speed are clo...

Stirred tanks are widely used in process industries for blending of singleand/or multiple-phase fluids, which often involves mass and/or heat transfer, chemical reactions, etc. Deep knowledge of flow field in the stirred tank is necessary to carry out these unit operations efficiently. As a result, extensive investigations of the flow in stirred tanks have been conducted over the past several d...

A two-dimensional liquid metal droplet moving into magnetic field gradient regions in a vacuum space in the absence of gravity has been simulated in VOF-CSF method. The general one-fluid VOF model for tracking free surfaces, and associated CSF model for applying surface tension to free surfaces are formulated. The calculations show us that the droplet encounters strong magnetohydrodynamics (MHD...

A method has been proposed to pulsate current in gas metal arc welding (GMAW) to achieve a specific type of desirable and repeatable metal transfer mode, i.e., one drop per pulse (ODPP) mode. This method uses a peak current lower than the transition current to prevent accidental detachment and takes advantage of the downward momentum of the droplet oscillation to enhance the detachment. A numer...

The paper describes a coupling of the geometric Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method with sharp-interface phase-change model for Cartesian and axisymmetric grids. Both interfacial position temperature field are resolved subgrid accuracy. Species transport implicit diffusion is considered in gas phase. numerical implementation developed here described detail, as well its incompressible Navier-Stokes sol...

Abstract This paper, aiming at the water-exit process of vehicle with cavitation, based on moving domain method coupled SDOF (six degrees freedom) solver, using VOF (volume fluid) multiphase model and Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model, carrying out numerical simulation research multi-conditions. Comparing vertical launch vehicles different Ca (cavitation number) cases, sudden decrease in number is...

A three-dimensional numerical study of a single droplet splashing vertically on liquid film is presented. The method based the finite volume (FVM) Navier–Stokes equations coupled with fluid (VOF) method, and adaptive local mesh refinement technology adopted. It enables liquid–gas interface to be tracked more accurately, less computationally expensive. relationship between diameter free rim, hei...
