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 abstractAnalysis of Cross and Single Sided Naturally Ventilated Rooms Using CFDK. Visagavel, P. S.S. SrinivasanNatural ventilation contributes to the improvement of thermal comfort and quality conditions of the internal air, while at the same time it is recognized as a very efficient technique that, when applied properly. The present project refers to the numerical prediction of air velocities in cross and single-sided naturally ventilated rooms, which are considered along with atmospheric zone. Continuity and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,738 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of the Climatic Factors on the Decay of Marbles: an Experimental StudyPaola Marini, Rossana BellopedeStone decay is affected by the influence of climatic factors. In particular marble degradation, that could be expressed by decohesion and /or bowing, is mainly due to the action of temperature and water (rains and relative humidity). In this work non destructive and destructive tests have been performed to evaluate the decay of marble slabs subjected both to natural exposition … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
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 · 7,252 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Effect of Counterface Materials on Interface Temperature and Friction Coefficient of GFRE Composite Under Dry Sliding ContactN. S.M. El-Tayeb, B. F. Yousif, P. V. BrevernNowadays, there is an increase interest in polymeric composite materials for high-performance in many industrial applications. In other words, the tribo-studies on polymeric materials are growing fast to enhance the polymeric products such as bearings, seals, ring and bushes. The current work presents an attempt to study the correlation between the type of counterface material and frictional heating at the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 7,023 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Simulation of a Turbulent Lean, Premixed Combustion with an Explicit Algebraic Stress ModelWilliam Vicente, Martín Salinas-Vázquez, Eliseo Martínez, Alejandro RodríguezA computational model is used in the present paper to study the influence of the turbulence modeling on the chemical species in a turbulent lean premixed flame. The simulated configuration is about a lean, premixed bluff-body-stabilized flame with a recirculation zone. To achieve the objectives, three different models were used for turbulence modeling as listed next: 1) standard k-ε, 2) … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysics Models of Pronuclear Movements in EggsKang Cheng, Changhua ZouBased on published experimental data, Newton's laws, and Coulomb's law, we investigate natural and normal pronuclear movements in wild types of eggs and develop physics models to fit the experimental data quantitatively. The difference between our modeling calculated results and the experimental data is less than 20%. Our models explain why and how pronuclei move in even or in variant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
