Rainfall runoff models are used to estimate design floods. These models require several inputs such as, rainfall duration, intensity, loss etc. For baseflow separation in design flood estimation the estimation of continuing loss (CL) is vital. The surface runoff has to be separated from the stream flow hydrograph. To obtain the volume of surface runoff, the use of an appropriate baseflow separa...

An experimental study of hydrodynamics of film cooling is performed by using a single longitudinal slot on a cylindrical model simulated to the leading edge of the gas turbine blade. The model is set up into the test section of an open-circuit induced flow wind tunnel which provides the main flow. The injected air, as a secondary film flow, produced from a high pressure compressor is considered...

Effect of altitude is discussed in the unsteady separation of multi stage rockets. Axisymmetric, unsteady and turbulent Navier stokes equations are solved numerically. The governing equations are split into a hyperbolic inviscid part and a parabolic diffusion part. The hyperbolic part is solved by an explicit second-order time and space of Godunov-type scheme. Moving mesh and moving boundary al...

A turbulent axisymmetric bluff body wake is investigated using large eddy simulation to uncover key flow dynamics and structures. The effect of low-frequency high-frequency pulsed jet forcing at the point separation studied reveal underlying mechanisms involved in base pressure changes, which provide a reference for drag reduction active control.

CFD was applied to evaluate the performance of both existing and improved designs for refrigerant distributors. In general, it is better to utilize a spherical base as compared with other shapes and to locate the orifice close to distributor base. These changes tend to improve the robustness of the distributor in terms of providing even flow and phase distribution in different outlet branches w...

Two chiral compounds, Tröger's base and tetrahydropalmatine, were enantioseparated on the (5S, 11S)-(-)-Tröger's base and l-tetrahydropalmatine imprinted monolithic capillary columns with CEC, respectively. The monoliths were prepared by in situ thermal-initiated copolymerization of methacrylic acid (MAA) and ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA). After optimizing the ratio of porogens (toluene and do...

Aerodynamic flow control effected by interactions of surface-mounted synthetic (zero net mass flux) jet actuators with a local cross flow is reviewed. These jets are formed by the advection and interactions of trains of discrete vortical structures that are formed entirely from the fluid of the embedding flow system, and thus transfer momentum to the cross flow without net mass injection across...
