Shaft furnaces are widely used in high-temperature processes for granular materials due to their high energy efficiency. The modeling of these is challenging because large domains and long process times. Small geometric details like the natural gas burner nozzles demand a fine grid on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) side, resulting size smaller than particle size. Resolving discrete element ...

This current work mainly focuses on the enhancement of heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics shell-and-tube exchangers by incorporating dimples smooth or conventional tubes. With aid ANSYS (Fluent) commercial software package, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations under a steady-state condition were conducted exchanger having single shell 12 tubes (with without dimples), 50% baf...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a popular tool in the water industry for assessing ultraviolet (UV) reactor performance. However, due to the size of open-channel-type UV reactor systems, the CFD model requires significant computational time. Thus, most evaluations have been conducted using very simplified models. In order to ensure the reliability of this simplified CFD model, precise num...

A novel computational fluid dynamics and molecular kinetic theory (CFD-MK) method was developed to simulate the impingement of a nanodroplet onto a solid surface. A numerical solution of the Navier–Stokes equation using a volume-of-fluid (VOF) technique was used to model nanodroplet deformation. Dynamic contact angle during droplet impact was obtained by molecular kinetic theory. This dynamic c...

a brass vortex tube (vt) with interchangeable parts is used to determine the optimum cold end orifice diameter, main tube length and diameter. experiments were carried out to study the effects of operating pressure as well. it is shown that there is an optimum value for cold end orifice diameter, which is equal to 4mm and there is an optimum value for cold and hot exit temperature difference at...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an important research field with a broad spectrum, requiring a close interplay between mathematical modeling, numerical methods, software development, and high performance computing.

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to predict recurrence after coil embolization of unruptured cerebral aneurysms with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using porous media modeling (porous media CFD). METHOD A total of 37 unruptured cerebral aneurysms treated with coiling were analyzed using follow-up angiograms, simulated CFD prior to coiling (control CFD), and porous media CFD. Coiled aneurysms we...

Within this paper the convective heat dissipation from the front brake discs fitted to the left and right hand side of a high performance passenger car has been compared. The tools used in this investigation include computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and vehicle testing. The results show that although identical discs are fitted to both sides of the vehicle the disc fitted to the left hand side ...
