Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractViscous Dissipation Effect on Steady free Convection and Mass Transfer Flow past a Semi-Infinite Flat PlatePalanisamy Geetha, Muthamperumal Bhavathikannu Krishna MoorthyProblem statement: A steady two-dimensional free convection and mass transfer flow past a continuously moving semi-infinite flat plate is studied theoretically, by taking into account the viscous dissipation effect. Approach: The governing equations are transformed into a set of simultaneous ordinary differential equation by using suitable similarity transformations. The coupled differential equations are integrated using the Runge-Kutta Gill method together … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 30 Jun 2011 · 6,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Investigation of Incompressible Fluid Flow through Porous Media in a Lid-Driven Square CavityM.A. Mohd Irwan, A. M. Fudhail, C.S. Nor Azwadi, G. MasoudProblem statement: Investigation of fluid flow behavior through porous media in a liddriven square cavity. Approach: The Brinkman-Forcheimer equation is coupled with the lattice Boltzmann formulation to predict the velocity field in the system. Three numerical experiments were preformed with different values of Darcy number to investigate the effect of porosity on the fluid flow. Results: In the current study, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,405 accessesView PDFCite

El-ArabawyProblem statement: In this research the researchers studied and made an analysis to the effects of suction/injection and chemical reaction on mass transfer characteristics over a stretching surface. The researcher studied the effects of some parameters appear on mass transfer. Approach: Transforming the system of partial differential equations to a system of ordinary differential equations and obtaining the exact analytical … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,510 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrofacies and Sedimentary Environments of Gurpi and Pabdeh Formations in Southwest of IranMohammad BahramiProblem statement: The Upper Cretaceous Gurpi and lower Tertiary Pabdeh formations as units of folded Zagros Zone were studied in three different regions (Tang-e-Abolhiat, Tang-e-Zanjiran and Maharloo) in Fars Province, Iran. Approach: Gurpi formation consisted of thin to medium sized layers of gray marl and marlstone interbedded with thin layers of argillaceous limestone and shale. The dominant microfacies in this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study of Airflow around Vehicle A-pillar Region and Windnoise Generation PredictionM. H. Shojaefard, K. Goudarzi, H. FotouhiFlow separation and reattachment around the vehicle A-pillar region dictates strong pressure fluctuations on the side window surfaces and can also lead to generate aerodynamic noise. The objective of this work is to investigate qualitative flow visualization of airflow behaviour around vehicle A-pillar and its potential to generate windnoise in this region. By means of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) under … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,335 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Frequency Mode inside an Open Cavity for Different Shape RatioHallek Khouloud, Mourad Bouterra, Afif El Cafsi et al.A number of studies have referred to the existence of a vortex cell within an urban street canyon. The understanding of vortex dynamics or vorticity distribution is a such configuration is of great interest. This configuration was simulated by the interaction between a boundary layer and a cavity. Experimental characterization of the vortex structures evolution was developed by the technique … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,843 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of Wind Field in Tehran Using Hybrid Diagnostic and Prognostic ModelsM. Shafie-Pour, Y. Rashidi, M. ArdestaniThis article concentrates on Wind Field Simulation in a mega city such as Tehran which is home to nearly 10 million inhabitants. The necessity of having a comprehensive knowledge about the wind field in a certain zone is significant for different reasons; the most important of all would be surveying on the emission and dispersion of pollutants. The wind models … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,683 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Groundwater Vulnerability in Urban Development PlanningJ. Nouri, S. MalmasiGroundwater resources in most places of Iran are considered to be one of the important drinking water supplies for civilians. In city of Tehran, 25% of drinking water is being supplied from groundwater. This fact would enforce the requirement to protect and conserve groundwater resources in the city for its further development plan. Municipality of Tehran, District-22 has been designed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,974 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Particle Separation in Bends of Rectangular Cross-sectionBingtao ZhaoA new theoretical model for predicting particle separation efficiency in bends is developed based on the investigation of flow pattern, the critical particle size separation theory and the boundary layer separation theory. The radial particle concentration gradient, instead of the usually assumed uniform radial particle concentration within the bends, is considered in this mathematical model. The local particle concentration and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 6,852 accessesView PDFCite
