As a new manufacturing process, abrasive water jet (AWJ)cutting has been very effective for difficult-to-machine materials. From the point of view of jet generation, abrasive water jets can be categorized as injection jeti or suspension jets. Injection jets are the most commonly used type for practical applications. An injection AWJ is formed by accelerating small abrasive particles through con...

We consider the steady levitation of a rigid plate on a thin air cushion with prescribed injection velocity. This injection velocity is assumed to be much larger than that in a conventional Prandtl boundary layer, so that inertial effects dominate. After applying the classical ‘blowhard’ theory of Cole & Aroesty (1968) to the two-dimensional version of the problem, it is shown that in three dim...

The effects of cooling flow injection on the flow development and acoustic oscillation in a premixed swirl-stabilized combustor had been numerically investigated using 3D large-eddy simulation. Three different cases, including one with no injection and two with cooling flow injection (5, 20 m s), were simulated. With injection of cooling flow-through slits in the combustor wall, the absolute ve...

The flow in an elastico-viscous fluid between two co-axial infinite rotating porous discs is considered for high cross flow Reynolds number. The discs are rotating with different angular velocity and the injection rate of the fluid at one disc is different from the suction rate of other disc. The effect of suction parameters on the velocity components have been investigated numerically and solv...

In petroleum production, Produced Water Re-Injection (PWRI) has earned much interest among disposal methods of the produced water. However, presence of the contaminants in the produced waters usually results in formation damage in well bores and their surrounding fracture systems. In the present study, modeling of external cake formation on a fracture in unsteady-state conditions i...

The Compact Ignition Tokamak (CIT) will use an advanced, high-velocity pellet injection system to achieve and maintain ignited plasmas. Two pellet injectors are provided: a moderate-velocity (1 to 1 S-km/s), single-stage pneumatic injector with high reliability and a high-velocity (4to 5-km/s), two-stage pellet injector that uses frozen hydrogenic pellets encased in sabots. Both pellet injector...

The study of interactions of jet into cross flow at different longitudinal and transverse angles of jet was studied. The following components were designed and constructed: a low velocity wind tunnel to produce the uniform flow, a flat plate with a traverse injection system to simulate the jet injection, and a spatial rake to measure the total pressure. The tests were carried out at longitudina...

In this work, variation of parameter method is applied to study two-dimensional flow of nanofluid in a porous channel through slowly deforming walls with suction or injection. The results of the developed approximate analytical solution using the variation of parameter method is verified with the results of numerical solution using fourth-order Runge-Kutta method coupled with shooing techniques...
