in order to present a new and high performance structure of pem fuel cell and study the influence of the flow direction and distribution on the rate of reactants diffusion, three novel models of vertical reactant flow injection into the anode and cathode reaction area field have been introduced. they consist of one inlet and two inlets and also a continuous channel. the governing equations on t...

Fluid-dynamic conditions that are compatible with tensile stress on the bonds between platelet glycoprotein Ibalpha and immobilized Von Willebrand factor A1 domain (VWF-A1) led to Ca++ release from intracellular stores (type alpha/beta peaks), which preceded stationary platelet adhesion. Raised levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate inhibited these [C...

Dual turbocharger turbine is fed by an unequal out-of-phase mass flow charge almost all the time which have significant effects on its performance parameters and flow phenomena which are not well known. Besides fully understanding the flow behavior in the radial turbine suffers from lack of detailed information about the secondary flows. This article studies the secondary flow structure within ...

In this research, an in-house code which uses the molecular dynamics method to study the flow of different nanofluids in the copper nanochannel and computes the thermo-physicals properties has been developed. The flow of nanofluids has been studied from hydro-thermally viewpoint and temperature jump at the wall has been applied. Parametric study to consider the effect of different parametric su...

Computational fluid dynamics is implemented to investigate the influence of the wheel contact patch on the global car aerodynamics. Two main aspects of the problem are the contact step and patch shape. Three important parameters: step height, cut angle, and tire tread shape are taken into consideration. For validations of the numerical results, the experimental data are also considered. The obt...

Plasma turbulence due to small-scale entropy modes is studied with gyrokinetic simulations in a simple closed-field-line geometry, the Z pinch, in low-beta parameter regimes that are stable to ideal interchange modes. We find an enormous variation in the nonlinear dynamics and particle transport as a function of two main parameters, the density gradient and the plasma collisionality. This varia...

Stick-slip regime of shear granular flows is studied theoretically and numerically. Numerical experiments are carried out for a thin Couette cell using soft-particle molecular dynamics code in two dimensions. We apply order parameter theory of partially fluidized granular flows and find a good agreement with simulations and experiments by Nasuno et al.

Fluid flows in the nanometer scale can be studied by molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo methods, but the time and length scales are usually limited to rather short ranges due to the computational expense. Kinetic theory is an alternative tool for studying nanoscale flows, but the existing models are rather complicated and difficult to implement. In this paper, we propose a simple Enskog-like kin...

A novel framework for modelling biomolecular systems at multiple scales in space and time simultaneously is described. The atomistic molecular dynamics representation is smoothly connected with a statistical continuum hydrodynamics description. The system behaves correctly at the limits of pure molecular dynamics (hydrodynamics) and at the intermediate regimes when the atoms move partly as atom...
