Simulation and analysis of a main steam line transient with isolation valves closure and subsequent pipe break

V. Stevanovic, M. Studovic, A. Bratic

Simulation and analysis of a real main steam line break transient at theThermal Power Plant Drmno are presented. The main events of the transientwere the closure of isolation…

On the effect of porous thick horizontal partial partition attached to one of the active walls of a differentially heated square cavity

A. Nag, A. Sarkar, V.M.K. Sastri

The effect of a horizontal partial porous partition on heat transfer andflow structure in a differentially heated square cavity is investigated.While the fluid flow is assumed to…

Simulation of vortical structures in a jet diffusion flame

L.P. Goss, V.R. Katta, W.M. Roquemore

The dynamics of a transitional propane jet diffusion flame with a fuel‐jet velocity of 2.2 m/s has been studied using an implicit, third‐order‐accurate, upwind numerical scheme…

Computational Investigation of Cobra probe operation

M.M. De Guzman, C.A.J. Fletcher, J.D. Hooper

The detailed flow behaviour around a four—hole Cobra Pitot pressureprobe, developed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial ResearchOrganization, Australia, (CSIRO), to…

Optimal regularization of the inverse‐heat conduction problem using the L‐curve

David M. Trujillo, Henry R. Busby

Solving the inverse heat conduction using Tikhonov regularizationrequires the selection of an optimal smoothing parameter. One popular methodfor choosing the smoothing parameter…

Efficient shock capturing for isentropic flows using arithmetic averaging

P. Glaister

A shock capturing scheme is presented for the equations of isentropicflow based on upwind differencing applied to a locally linearized set ofRiemann problems. This includes the…

Natural convection heat transfer around two heated cylinders in an isothermal enclosure including the effect of wall conductance

Marcel Lacroix, Antoine Joyeux

A numerical study has been conducted for natural convection heattransfer for air around two vertically separated horizontal heated cylindersplaced inside an isothermal rectangular…
