in many industrial equipment such as boilers and heat exchangers, the cylindrical tubes are exposed to the gas- liquid two phase flow. for any immersed body in flow field vortex shedding is created with a frequency that may be constant or variable, according to conditions such as flow rates, geometry of body, and etc. the failure will happen in the equipment, when this frequency is close to one...

in this paper, the flow around bluff bodies with different cross sections and determination of forces acts on them are investigated.this paper presents the results of a numerical study on the flow characteristics and heat transfer over two equal square cylinders in a tandem arrangement. spacing between the cylinders is 5 widths of the cylinder and the reynolds number ranges from 1 to 200, pr=0....

Prerecorded video footage of 9 female and 13 male Olympic level athletes swimming underwater by using the dolphin kick was analyzed and comparisons of the stroke kinematics were made with a previous analysis of cetacean swimming conducted by Rohr and Fish (Rohr, J. J., & Fish, F. E. (2004). Strouhal numbers and optimization of swimming by odontocete cetaceans. The Journal of Experimental Biolog...

Asymptotic expansions for small Strouhal number, valid for arbitrary subsonic Mach number, are derived for the solution of a simple problem of the interaction between an acoustic wave, a jet flow and a pipe, based on Munt's [ l ] exact formal solution. These expansions relate to the pressure and velocity fluctuations in the jet flow and in the far field, and to the reflection coefficient, end-i...

Small undulatory swimmers such as larval zebrafish experience both inertial and viscous forces, the relative importance of which is indicated by the Reynolds number (Re). Re is proportional to swimming speed (vswim) and body length; faster swimming reduces the relative effect of viscous forces. Compared with adults, larval fish experience relatively high (mainly viscous) drag during cyclic swim...

Flow over arrays of cylinders different cross-sections has been an essential area research interest for a long time. For the estimation flow characteristics around cylinders, numerical simulation past four elliptic in square arrangement range spacing ratios is analysed this paper. Three considered present study are 3.45, 4.14 and 5.17. The results from compared with experimental findings obtain...

This paper presents comparisons between flow fields for turbulent flow over square cylinder with two different angles of incidence in free stream at Reynolds number of Re = 3400. The present numerical results were obtained using a two-dimensional finite-volume code which solves governing equations. The pressure field was obtained with well known SIMPLE algorithm. The central difference scheme w...

In some case of laboratory and industrial applications, various kind of measurement instruments must be placed in a conduit, in which multiphase fluid flows. Vortex shedding for any immersed body in flow field is created with a frequency, which according to flow conditions such as flow rates, geometry of body, etc. may be constant or variable. Failure may happen, if this frequency is close to o...
