The numerical simulation of solid-gas two-phase flow is an important tool in the prediction of its flow behavior. Predicting the axial pressure profile is one of the major difficulties in modeling of solid-gas two-phase flow. A model using a Particle Based Approach (PBA) is developed to accurately predict the axial pressure profile in a vertical annular tube. The simulation model accounts for t...

This paper investigates the axial unsteady flow of a generalized Burgers’ fluid with fractional constitutive equation in a circular micro-tube, in presence of a time-dependent pressure gradient and an electric field parallel to flow direction and a magnetic field perpendicular on the flow direction. The mathematical model used in this work is based on a time-nonlocal constitutive equation for s...

Thermal stress analysis of a thick-walled cylinder reinforced with functionally graded (FG) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is considered in radial direction. Thick-walled cylinder is subjected to a thermal field. Two layouts of variations in the volume fraction of SWCNTs were considered in the composite cylinder along the radius from inner to outer surface, where their names are increm...

This paper investigates the impact of combined axial through flow and radial mass flux on Taylor–Couette in a counter-rotating configuration, which different branches nontrivial solutions appear via Hopf bifurcations. Using direct numerical simulation, we elucidate structures, dynamics, bifurcation behavior qualitative quantitative detail as function Reynolds numbers (Re) (α) spanning parameter...

analysis of non-laminar flows in coarse alluvial beds has a wide range of applications in various civil engineering, oil and gas, and geology problems. darcy equation is not valid to analyze transient and turbulent flows, so non-linear equations should be applied. non-linear equations are classified into power and binomial equations. binomial equation is more accurate in a wide range of velocit...

The axial dispersion coefficient of hexachlorobenzene in supercritical carbon dioxide is investigated in a fixed-bed packed with glass beads. The on-line chromatographic pulse-response experiment is used in order to study the dynamics of a packed column under supercritical conditions. The radial dispersion is assumed negligible because of the packed column geometry. To estimate the axial disper...

The onset mechanism for band formation of a granular mixture in long rotating tumblers is still largely unresolved. We study this issue for axial segregation of binary mixtures having different size particles, using discrete element method simulations. Endwalls initiate axial segregation via an axial flow due to friction. The non-uniform distribution of axial velocity in the flow together with ...

Radial profiles of particle velocities were investigated in a 6.1m high methanol-to-olefins cold model experimental device using a TSI laser Doppler velocimeter. The effect of axial height on flow development was not obvious in fully developed region under the same operating condition. Superficial gas velocity and solid circulating rate had significant influence on particle velocity in the cent...

In the process of hematogenous cancer metastasis, tumor cells (TCs) must shed into the blood stream, survive in the blood circulation, migrate through the vascular endothelium (extravasation) and proliferate in the target organs. However, the precise mechanisms by which TCs penetrate the endothelial cell (EC) junctions remain one of the least understood aspects of TC extravasation. This questio...
