RANS Modeling of Stably Stratified Turbulent Boundary Layer Flows in OpenFOAM®

E3S Web of Conferences, 2015
Quantifying mixing processes relating to the transport of heat, momentum, and scalar quantities of stably stratified turbulent geophysical flows remains a substantial task. In a stably stratified flow, such as the stable atmospheric boundary layer (SABL),

Stability of Viscous Three‐Dimensional Stratified Couette Flow via Dispersion and Mixing

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the stability of stratified Couette flow in the viscous 3d$3d$ Boussinesq equations. In this system, mixing effects arise from the shearing background, and gravity acts as a restoring force leading to dispersive internal gravity waves.

A study of chevron type plate design on pressure drop and friction factor of brazed plate heat exchanger

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Brazed plate heat exchanger (BPHE) was analyzed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations by ANSYS Fluent to investigate the chevron‐patterned plates. The influence of geometric parameters, including corrugation pitch, depth, and angle was analyzed.

Turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection for a Prandtl number of 0.67

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2009
For the Rayleigh-number range 107 ≲ Ra ≲ 1011 we report measurements of the Nusselt number Nu and of properties of the large-scale circulation (LSC) for cylindrical samples of helium gas (Prandtl number Pr = 0.674) that have aspect ratio Γ ≡ D/L = 0.50 (D and L are the diameter and the height respectively) and are heated from below.

Flow Characteristics and Response Surface Methodology‐Based Pressure‐Loss Prediction Models for the Reverse Circulation Converter in Double‐Wall Drill Pipes

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Flow characteristics and pressure loss mechanisms of a reverse circulation converter in dual‐wall drill pipes are systematically investigated using CFD and response surface methodology. The results reveal the dominant role of inertial dissipation and provide a predictive framework for optimizing converter design and operational parameters. ABSTRACT The

A Numerical Investigation of the Effects of Piston Bowl Geometry and Spray Angle on Combustion, Performance and Emission of a Diesel Engine

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A piston bowl's design and spray angle improve air‐fuel mixing, resulting in more complete combustion and higher efficiency. Ansys Forte 2023 R1 a CFD software was used to analyze the effects of five combustion chamber geometries of cylinder, modified re‐entrant, re‐entrant, double‐stepped, and stepped on engine performance, combustion, and emission ...

A CFD SSTk−ω−kθ−εθ four parameter heat transfer turbulence model for the 19-pin fuel assembly in LBE cooled reactors

Nuclear Engineering and Technology
Liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) alloy exhibits excellent thermo-hydraulic properties and chemical inertness as a coolant for fast reactors. Unlike conventional fluids such as water and air, LBE has a lower Prandtl number (Pr), and its local turbulent ...

Hydrogen‐Enriched Tri‐Fuel Combustion for Low‐Carbon Engines at Medium Engine Load: A Comprehensive CFD Analysis

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
CFD analysis of a diesel–CH4–H2 tri‐fuel engine shows that increasing hydrogen energy share (HES) enhances mixing and accelerates combustion, improving pressure, efficiency, and reducing CO and soot. At 60% HES, ISFC improves 26.2%, soot drops 95%, while NOx increases due to higher temperatures. ABSTRACT The global commitment to achieve net‐zero carbon
