in this paper, direct numerical simulation of two-phase incompressible gas-liquid flow for simulation of bubble motion in a microtube is presented. microtube radius is 10 µm. the interface is tracked using volume of fluid (vof) method with continuous surface force (csf) model. the flow is solved using a finite volume scheme, based on piso algorithm. numerical simulation is performed on a axisym...

In this paper, the cell-centered finite volume method (CC-FVM) has been presented to simulate the axisymmetric radial flow toward a pumping well. The model is applied to the unstructured triangular grids which allows to simulate inhomogeneous and complex-shaped domains. Due to the non-orthogonality of the irregular grids, the multipoint flux approximation (MPFA) methods are used to discretize t...

We present an analysis of the primary bifurcations that occur in a mathematical model that uses the (three-dimensional) Navier-Stokes equations in the Boussinesq approximation to describe the flow of a near unity Prandtl number fluid (i.e. air) in the differentially heated rotating annulus. In particular, we investigate the double Hopf (Hopf-Hopf) bifurcations that occur along the axisymmetric ...

In the present study, the nonlinear model of non-Newtonian blood flow in cosine-shape stenosed elastic artery is numerically examined. The model is carried out for axisymmetric, two-dimensional and fully developed blood flow. The vessel wall is assumed to be have time-dependent radius that is important factor for study of blood flow. The cosine-shape stenosis convert to rigid artery by using a ...

An algorithm to compute the silent base flow sources of sound in a jet is introduced. The algorithm is based on spatiotemporal filtering of the flow field and is applicable to multifrequency sources. It is applied to an axisymmetric laminar jet and the resulting sources are validated successfully. The sources are compared to those obtained from two classical acoustic analogies, based on quiesce...

We develop in this paper a numerical method to simulate three-dimensional incompressible flows based on a decomposition of the flow into an axisymmetric part, in terms of the stream function and the circulation, and a non-axisymmetric part in terms of a potential vector function. The method is specially suited for the study of nonlinear stability of axially symmetric flows because one may follo...

Thermodynamics of vorticity density fields ~v/r! in axisymmetric flows are considered, and the statistical equilibrium theories of Miller, Weichman, and Cross @Phys. Rev. A 45, 2328 ~1992!#, Robert and Sommeria @J. Fluid Mech. 229, 291 ~1991!#, and Turkington @Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 52, 781 ~1999!# for the two-dimensional flows in Cartesian coordinates are extended to axisymmetric flows. It is ...

The extension of the two-dimensional adaptive implicit 1explicit finite elelnent method to axisymmetric turbulent flow problems is presented. Difficulties involved in the selection of proper flow variables for the finite element interpolation to avoid singularities and the treatment of complex source terms resulting from the axisymmetric formulation are covered in this study. A special data str...

The various industrial and engineering applications of flow of fluid between parallel plates have continued to generate renewed interests. In this work, a comparative study of approximate analytical methods is carried out using differential transformation,homotopy perturbation, Adomian decomposition, variation of parameter and variational iteration methods for the analysis of a steady two-dimen...
