In the present paper, a finite volume method (FVM) based software is used in the simulation of simulation of non Newtonian flow between two parallel plates and flip chip packaging are presented. 3D of two parallel plates with different gap heights are developed and simulated by Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) code, FLUENT 6.3.26. The power law equation was used to describe the NonNewtonian be...

In this article, a laminar magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) developing flow of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid subjected to an external magnetic field is considered. The aim of the study is to propose a correlation for computing the development length of the laminar MHD developing flow in a pipe. A numerical approach is considered to solve the problem. In the first step, the numerical...

This paper studies the three dimensional (3D) simulation of fluid flows through the ball grid array (BGA) to replicate the real underfill encapsulation process. The effect of different solder bump arrangements of BGA on the flow front, pressure and velocity of the fluid is investigated. The flow front, pressure and velocity for different time intervals are determined and analyzed for potential ...

In this paper, the cooling performance of water-cooled heat sinks for heat dissipation from electronic components is investigated numerically. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are carried out to study the rectangular and circular cross-sectional shaped heat sinks. The sectional geometry of channels affects the flow and heat transfer characteristics of minichannel heat sinks. T...

In the present work, a meshless method called Finite Point Method (FPM) is developed to simulate the solidification process of a continuously cast steel bloom in both primary and secondary cooling regions. The method is based on the use of a weighted least-square interpolation procedure. A transverse slice of the bloom moving at casting speed is considered as the computational domain and two di...

this paper introduces a mesh generating algorithm for solving the traffic flow equation as a conservation law equation. the idea behind the new method is to use the characteristic curves and moving non-oscillatory finite volume method. in addition, when characteristic curves intersect, the proposed scheme uses shock speed equation in order to improve computational efficiency. we also compare...

We aim to study the behavior of polymer crystallization during cooling stage in injection molding more accurately, the multiscale model and multiscale algorithm proposed in our previous work Ruan et al., 2012 have been extended to the 3D polymer crystallization case. Our multiscale model incorporates two distinct length scales: a coarse grid for the heat diffusion and a fine grid for the crysta...
