ven with great advances in computational techniques and computing power during recent decades, the modeling of unsteady separated flows, such as those encountered in the wake of a re-entry vehicle, continues to be one of the most challenging problems in CFD. Of most interest to the aerothermodynamics community is accurately predicting transient heating loads on the base of a blunt body, which w...

Turbulent jet large eddy simulations (LES) are performed at Mach 0.9 and Reynolds number around 10. Implicit large-eddy simulation (ILES) is employed, namely omitting explicit subgrid scale models. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solution is blended into the near wall region. This makes an overall hybrid LES-RANS approach. A Hamilton-Jacobi equation is applied to remove the disparate...

Prediction of particle transport in enclosed environment is crucial to the welfare of its occupants. The prediction requires not only a reliable particle model but also an accurate flow model. This paper introduces two categories of flow models – Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equation modeling (RANS modeling) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES); as well as two popular particle models – Lagrangian...

A large-eddy simulation (LES) based meshless model is developed for the three-dimensional (3D) problem of continuous casting (CC) steel billet. The local collocation method on radial basis functions (RBF) applied in 3D. applies scaled multiquadric (MQ) RBF with a shape parameter seven nodded sub-domains. incompressible turbulent fluid flow described using mass, energy, and momentum conservation...

This paper discusses accuracy improvements to Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) modeling of supersonic flow by assessing a wide range factors for physics capture. Numerical simulations reveal complex behavior resulting from shock and expansion waves so, jet emanating rectangular nozzle is considered. PIV based experimental data the available literature used validation purposes. Effect vari...

1. Motivation and objectives In the last few years, Durbin’s v-f turbulence model has been extensively tested for subsonic and transonic flows using different numerics for the discretization of the equations and for their solution. Three versions of the model have been successively developed. The original model, Durbin (1995), includes a non-trivial wall boundary condition for the quantity f , ...

In large eddy simulations (LES) of wall-bounded flows, the need to resolve energycarrying eddies in the vicinity of the wall leads to a prohibitive cost which prevents its use at very high Reynolds numbers. To overcome this limitation, many attempts have been made in the last two decades to model the unresolved scales near the wall. These works mainly focused on two different approaches: hybrid...

The paper provides a proposal for an MPLS-based transport network for future Radio Access Networks (RANs) and compares this with a regular IP-based transport network. Our MPLS-based approach takes into account the specific needs of current and future RANs especially with respect to QoS requirements and flexibility. In the paper we compare the MPLS-based solution with a regular IP-based network....
