[1] The correct representation of the 10-m drag coefficient for momentum (K10) at extreme wind speeds is very important for modeling the development of tropical depressions and may also be relevant to the understanding of other intense marine meteorological phenomena. We present a unified boundary layer model for (K10), which takes account of both the wave field and spray production, and asympt...

The intensity of tropical cyclones is sensitive to the rates at which enthalpy and momentum are transferred between sea and air in the high-wind core of the storm. Present models of the wind dependence of these transfer rates suggest that the effective drag coefficient is more than twice the effective enthalpy transfer coefficient at wind speeds above 25 m s21. Using this ratio in numerical mod...

Spray modeling is a critical component to engine combustion and emissions simulations. Accurate spray modeling often requires a fine computational mesh for better numerical resolutions. This, in turn, will require extensive computer time. A major concern for the successful application of computational methods in an industrial environment is its capability to handle complex configurations with a...

The major physicochemical processes involved in an industrial HVOF thermal spray process (Diamond Jet hybrid gun, Sulzer Metco, Westbury, NY) are studied by a comprehensive multiscale model. The model includes continuum type differential equations that describe the dynamics of gas phase and particles of different sizes, and a rule-based stochastic simulator that predicts the evolution of coatin...

The use of robust and accurate Eulerian/Eulerian formulations in the modeling of reactive two-phase flow would be a major step forward in the framework of turbulent combustion modeling with massively parallel supercomputers. Therefore, the ability of the Eulerian multi-fluid model to capture all stages of turbulent spray combustion has been tested and compared with a usual Lagrangian formulatio...

Abstract: Mathematical modeling of planing hulls and determination of their characteristics are the most important subjects in hydrodynamic study of planing vessels. In this paper, a new mathematical model has been developed based on pressure distribution. This model has been provided for two different situations: (1) for a situation in which all forces pass through the center of gravity and (2...

The present paper is primarily concerned with modeling complex turbulent wall-bounded flow in spray-painting processes by using a commercial CFD code. Computational results of turbulent channel flow with low Reynolds numbers are compared with DNS data in order to obtain the performance of turbulence models and near wall treatments. The realizable k-ε model with the nonequilibrium wall function ...

Thermal sprayed surface coatings are extensively used for a wide range of industrial applications. In the plasma spray process used in thermal spraying, the temperature of substrate and conduction of heat along the thickness of ceramic oxide coatings (TCOC) play an important role in the bond strength and microstructure of the coatings, which decides its performance and quality. In this study, u...

The present study is concerned with measuring and simulating soot formation and combustion in turbulent liquid fuel spray flames. Soot concentrations inside the combustor are measured by filter paper technique. The simulation is based on the solution of the fully-coupled conservation equations for turbulent flow, chemical species kinetic modeling, fuel droplet evaporation and combustion and...
