Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaser-Induced Breakdown and Detonation in Particle-Laden SystemsKonstantin VolkovSimulation of the interaction of a laser pulse with gas-droplet and gas-particle mixtures plays an important role in environmental and engineering applications. The injection of liquid droplets or metal particle causes optical breakdown on the individual droplet or particle and leads to a drop of the detonation minimum pulse energy of the mixture. Mathematical models of various stages of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2015 · 7,348 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NOVEL PRESSURIZED ZONAL MODEL USING THE MOMENTUM EQUATIONYao Yu, Ahmed Cherif MegriZonal models combine the simplicity of single and multi-zone models with the comprehensiveness of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models and thus become a better substitute to predict detailed thermal and airflow behaviors in building. Based on a geometric partitioning of a room into a number of subzones, these models give more accurate and detailed results than the single or multi-zone … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 8,570 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Simulation of the Transient Flow in Natural Gas Transmission Lines Using a Computational Fluid Dynamic MethodPedram Ghaseminejad, Nikan NoorbeheshtUntil now, almost all tools that are used to analyze gas transportation networks are based on steady flow conditions. Some design problems can be solved by the assumption of a steady state. However, some circumstances force us to use transient analyses, which commonly include changes in customer demand, the failure of a compressor station or gas pipeline ruptures. In this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2013 · 7,457 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Heat Transport in a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel CellE. Afshari, S.A. JazayeriIn this study a two-phases, single-domain and non-isothermal model of a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell has been studied to investigate thermal management effects on fuel cell performance. A set of governing equations, conservation of mass, momentum, species, energy and charge for gas diffusion layers, catalyst layers and the membrane regions are considered. These equations are solved numerically in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Method for Constructing the Coefficients of Pressure Correction Equation for Colocated Unstructured GridsR. Rafee, H. RahimzadehOne of the important equations in numerical solution of Navier Stokes equations is the pressure correction equation. In this article, a new method for constructing the coefficients of this equation for colocated unstructured meshes is proposed. This method is based on momentum interpolation. The method is compared with the approach adopted in literature.
