In order to match the growth of the decentered square and the evolution of the interface cell in a two-dimensional cellular automaton-finite volume method (CA-FVM) model with decentered square algorithm, the present work first alters the determination of the half length of the square diagonal according to the preferential growth orientation, and then modifies the interface evolution considering...

Computational modelling has received significant attention in the research community over the past few decades due to its pronounced contribution in better understanding of the nature, as well as in the development of advanced technologies. The modelling of more and more complex transport physical systems helps the community to address important issues, like identification of environmental prob...

In various water transmission systems such as long-distance transfer projects and hydropower stations, accurate simulation of hammer is extremely important for safe stable operation the realization intelligent operations. Previous calculations usually consider only steady-state friction, underestimating decay transient pressure. A second-order Finite Volume Method (FVM) considering effect unste...

This paper presents a novel coupling discretization method for modeling multi-phase heat exchangers. In the method, MBM (Moving Boundary Method) is adopted as solver to solve each of FVCVs (Finite Volume Control Volume) divided by FVM Method). When all are solved, FVCV boundary values updated based on relationships FVCVs. The solving procedure initiated when starting HSF (Hot Source Fluid) and ...

 The forced convection heat transfer of turbulent Al2O3-water nanofluid flow inside the grooved tubeswith the different aspect ratio of the rectangular grooves is numerically investigated. The governingequations have been solved using finite volume method (FVM) coupled with SIMPLE algorithm. It isassumed the heat flux is constant on the grooved walls. The Single-phase approach is applied for th...

The need for accurate resolution of shock waves in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a major driver in the development of robust numerical methods for approximating discontinuities. The Local Extremum Diminishing (LED) robustness concept has, for example, been introduced into the Finite Volume Method (FVM) for preventing overshoots at discontinuities (Jameson 1993). However, LED schemes hav...

Mathematical and computational modeling of calcium signalling in nerve cells has produced considerable insights into how the cells contracts with other cells under the variation of biophysical and physiological parameters. The modeling of calcium signaling in astrocytes has become more sophisticated. The modeling effort has provided insight to understand the cell contraction. Main objective of ...

Calcium [Ca] is an important second messenger which plays an important role in signal transduction. There are several parameters that affect its concentration profile like buffer source etc. The effect of stationary immobile buffer on Ca concentration has been incorporated which is a very important parameter needed to be taken into account in order to make the model more realistic. Interdepende...

This study deals with the numerical solution of a 2D unsteady flow of a compressible viscous fluid in a channel for low inlet airflow velocity. The unsteadiness of the flow is caused by a prescribed periodic motion of a part of the channel wall with large amplitudes, nearly closing the channel during oscillations. The flow is described by the system of Navier-Stokes equations for laminar flows....

This paper was concerned to simulate both wet and dry bed dam break problems. A high-resolution finite volume method (FVM) was employed to solve the one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) shallowwater equations (SWEs) using an unstructured Voronoi mesh grid. In this attempt, the robust local Lax-Friedrichs (LLxF) scheme was used for the calculating of the numerical flux at cells interfac...
