Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAerodynamic Noise Prediction Using stochastic Turbulence ModelingArash Ahmadzadegan, Mehran TadjfarAmongst many approaches to determine the sound propagated from turbulent flows, hybrid methods, in which the turbulent noise source field is computed or modeled separately from the far field calculation, are frequently used. For basic estimation of sound propagation, less computationally intensive methods can be developed using stochastic models of the turbulent fluctuations (turbulent noise source field). A simple and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,228 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies on the Influence of Various Blade Outlet Angles in a Centrifugal Pump when Handling Viscous FluidsM.H.S. Fard, F.A. BoyaghchiIn this study the centrifugal pump performances with different blade outlet angles are tested when handling water and viscous oils as Newtonian fluids. Also, this study shows a numerical simulation of the three-dimensional fluid flows inside the centrifugal pump with different blade outlet angles. For these numerical simulations the SIMPLEC algorithm is used for solving governing equations of incompressible viscous/turbulent … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,709 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrosion of Copper Metal in Presence of Binary MixturesMedhat A. Shaker, Hanaa H. Abdel-RahmanThe rates of copper corrosion were determined in presence and in absence of different compositions of water-ethanol, -ethylene glycol, -glycerol, -dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and -dioxane binary mixtures. The rates of corrosion were found to decrease by increasing the concentration of solvents. The percent inhibition range from 10.9 to 78.2% depends on the nature of solvent and its concentration. The calculated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 8,234 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe 2D Eulerian Approach of Entrained Flow and Temperature in a Biomass Stratified Downdraft GasifierA. Rogel, Jasni AguillónThis paper describes a “1-D+2-D” numerical model used to simulate the gasification of pine wood pellets in a stratified downdraft gasifier whereby Eulerian conservation equations are solved for particle and gas phase components, velocities and specific enthalpies. The model takes into account the biomass particle process such as heating up, drying, primary pyrolysis of biomass, secondary pyrolysis of tar, homogeneous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 7,257 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLarge Eddy Simulation of an Ammonia JetM. Salinas-Vazquez, A. Espinosa, E. Barrios, W. VicenteA compressible jet flow of ammonia was studied through a series of Large Eddy Simulations. Simulations were focused in the zone where the inertial effects are much bigger than the gravitational ones. The ammonia jet is discharged into an air medium and the gases are treated as a two non-reactive ideal gas mixture. Different simulations were performed, going from the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,743 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Application of Turbulence Models in the Calculation of Supersonic Gas JetIlina Ekaterina Evgenevna, Ilina Tamara Evgenevna, Bulat Pavel ViktorovichThis article considers the adequacy of the usage of various two-parameter differential turbulence models for the calculation of supersonic non-calculative (overexpanded and underexpanded) gas jet flowing into the environment that have a pressure equal to atmospheric. A brief historical background on the development of methods for calculating turbulent supersonic jet, which contain developed shock wave structures, is given. For each … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 11 · 7 Jan 2015 · 7,204 accessesView PDF Cite

Research NotesOpen accessAll words, across the recordTurbulent-Fluid-Based Simulation of Dynamic Liquefaction Using Large Deformation Analysis of Solid PhaseRohollah TaslimianTo accurately simulate the cyclic liquefaction phenomenon, it is necessary to establish a well-defined coupling between the solid particles and the high-velocity percolating pore fluid. For this purpose, the existing literature extensively examines large deformation liquefaction analyses for the solid phase, regardless of the fluid flow nonlinearity. On the other hand, the transient fluid pressure gradient governed by the turbulence … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 22 Feb 2024 · 6,024 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNumerical Investigation on Turbulent Forced Convection in Heating Channel Inserted with Discrete V-Shaped BafflesAmnart Boonloi, Withada JedsadaratanachaiThe numerical examinations on flow visualization, heat transfer characteristic and performance improvement in a square duct inserted with discrete V-shaped baffles (DVB) are reported. The DVB is designed to reduce the pressure loss when compared with the V-shaped baffle. The influences of the flow blockage ratios (b/H, BR = 0.05-0.20), V-tip directions (V-Downstream and V-Upstream) are investigated for Reynolds number, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2016 · 7,118 accessesView PDF Cite
