frictional shear stress is usually determined by utilizing the coefficient of friction or the constant friction factor models. the present study deals with finite element analysis of double cup extrusion process to determine the relationship between constant friction factor (m) and coefficient of friction (µ), since the metal flow in this process is very sensitive to frictional conditions. ther...

micro scale gas flows has attracted significant research interest in the last two decades. in this research, the fluid flow of gases in the stepped micro-channel at a wide range of knudsen number has been analyzed with using the lattice boltzmann (mrt) method. in the model, a modified second-order slip boundary condition and a bosanquet-type effective viscosity are used to consider the velocity...

[Purpose] Friction massage (friction) of the popliteal fossa is provided for the purpose of relieving pain related to circulatory disorders by improving venous flow in the lower legs. The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of enhancing the venous flow based on measuring the blood flow velocity of the popliteal vein before and after providing friction to the patients. [Subjects and M...

This paper presents an experimental research on the distribution of local friction factor, fb, and global friction factor, f, over the cross-section of a channel with V-shaped bottom, which typically occurs in sewers and culverts. Several series of experiments were conducted for measuring velocity and boundary shear stress. It is found that, Darcy-Weisbach, f, is more sensitive than other resis...

This paper presents the findings from a numerical simulation of the flow in 37-rod fuel assembly models spaced by a double-wire trapezoidal wrapping as applied to the BREST-OD-300 experimental nuclear reactor. Data on a high static pressure distribution within the models, and equations for determining the fuel bundle flow friction factors have been obtained. Recommendations are provided on usin...

a finite volume-lattice boltzmann algorithm is applied to study skin friction behaviour in different channel flows. for this purpose, cell centred scheme is adapted to discretize the boltzmann equation and consistent boundary conditions are also addressed, which resulted in a wider domain of stability. a simulation of flow in a two dimensional channels with different geometries are carried out....

This study presents the computational analysis of three dimensional Casson and Carreau nanofluid flow concerning the convective conditions. To do so, the flow equations are modified to nonlinear system of ODEs after using appropriate self-similarity functions. The solution for the modified system is evaluated by numerical techniques. The results show the impacts of involving variables on flow c...

Large-eddy simulations (LES) of turbulent flow in a smoothwall pipe at Reynolds numbers based on the pipe Radius R and wall friction velocity in the range Reτ = 2,000−2,000,000 are discussed. Using a Reynolds number based on D and the bulkflow velocity, then corresponding values are ReD = 91,800 − 165,000,000. For the LES, the spectral-element code SEMTEX was used combined with the stretched-vo...

The distribution of the wall shear stress on the bed and sidewalls of an open channel receiving lateral inflow was obtained from experimental measurements of the distribution of the velocity in the viscous sublayer using a laser doppler velocimeter. The experiments were conducted in a 0.4 m wide by 7.5 m long flume. Lateral inflow was provided into the channel from above via sets of nozzles pos...
