Mixed convection along a vertical cone for fluids of any Prandtl number: case of constant wall temperature

I. Pop, T. Groşan, M. Kumari

An analysis of steady laminar mixed convection boundary layer flow along a vertical cone of constant wall temperature is presented. A mixed convection parameter ξ, as proposed by…

Numerical study of biomagnetic fluid flow over a stretching sheet with heat transfer

E.E. Tzirtzilakis, G.B. Tanoudis

In the present work, a Chebyshev pseudospectral method for the numerical solution of the two‐dimensional, laminar, incompressible, viscous flow of a biomagnetic fluid over a…

Probabilistic finite element analysis in fluid mechanics

Rama Subba Reddy Gorla, Nagasekhar Reddy Gorla

Fluid flow in a circular pipe and a slider bearing was computationally simulated by finite element methods and probabilistically evaluated in view of the several uncertainties in…

Microscopic and macroscopic approach for natural convection in enclosures filled with fluid saturated porous medium

N. Massarotti, P. Nithiarasu, A. Carotenuto

In this paper, microscopic and macroscopic approaches to the solution of natural convection in enclosures filled with fluid saturated porous media are investigated. At the…

Influence of computational aspects on simulations of a turbulent jet diffusion flame

Bart Merci, Erik Dick

The influence of computational aspects on simulation results is quantitatively investigated for the specific case of a turbulent piloted jet diffusion flame (Sandia Flame D). It…

Numerical simulation of viscous filament stretching flows

M.S. Chandio, H. Matallah, M.F. Webster

A numerical study on the stretching of a Newtonian fluid filament is analysed. Stretching is performed between two retracting plates, moving under constant extension rate. A…
