when a dam is constructed on a river path, inevitably sedimentation of alluvial materials occurred. therefore, the initial capacity of the reservoir reduce gradually, and if don’t predict the effects of this phenomena and its proper control methods, the application of the reservoir may be affected. the findings of this thesis confirm that, the sedimentation in reservoirs and the variations of t...

Unsteady slip-flow of second grade non-Newtonian electrically conducting fluid over an oscillating sheet has been considered and solved numerically. A second-order slip velocity model is used to predict the flow characteristic past the wall. With the assumption of infinite length in x-direction, velocity of the fluid can be assumed as a function of y and t, hence, with proper variable change pa...

In this paper a finite difference method for solving 2-dimensional diffusion equation is presented. The method employs Crank-Nicolson scheme to improve finite difference formulation and its convergence and stability. The obtained solution will be a recursive formula in each step of which a system of linear equations should be solved. Given the specific form of obtained matrices, rather than sol...

the purpose of this study is to identify parameters influence on the particle deposition within fin and tube heat exchanger of air-conditioning systems by cfd analysis. first the basic sketch of periodic geometry drawn and meshing operation including boundary conditions was performed. then the gas side properties and flow parameters were solved by ansys fluent 14.5 software. lagrangian equation...

Cavitation and turbulence in a diesel injector nozzle has a great effect on the development and primary breakup of spray. However, the mechanism of the cavitation flow inside the nozzle and its influence on spray characteristics have not been clearly known yet because of the internal nozzle flow complexities. In this paper, a comprehensive numerical simulation is carried out to study the intern...

This paper was concerned with studying the magnetohydrodynamic steady laminar free convection flow of a micropolar fluid past a continuously moving surface in the presence of heat generation and thermal radiation. Similarity transformation was employed to transform the governing partial differential equations into ordinary ones, which were then solved numerically using the finite element method...
