The application of turbulent kinetic theory to a reacting flow of turbulent plane jet

Shu‐Hao Chuang, Zuu‐Chang Hong, Jhy‐Horng Wang

A turbulent kinetic theory due to Chung and a Green’s function method by Hong were employed to solve a reacting turbulent plane jet problem. An instantaneous mixing concept was…

Numerical analysis of a viscous steady laminar flow due to a mass transfer from a porous plate

André Desseaux

Considers the motion of a viscous fluid within the narrow gap under a floating disk above an infinite porous plate. The flow is caused by a uniform blowing from the porous…

Non‐homentropic flow generated by trains in tunnels with side branches

M.J.P. William‐Louis, C. Tournier

Describes the propagation of pressure waves when a train passes through a plain tunnel or tunnel equipped with side branches. A non‐homentropic one‐dimensional model is used to…

Finite element analysis of transient natural convection in an odd‐shaped enclosure

P. Nithiarasu, T. Sundararajan, K.N. Seetharamu

The transient natural convective flow and heat transfer in a combined vertical and horizontal enclosure have been studied. The Galerkin’s finite element method coupled with…

Numerical solution of transient temperature for pulsed heating in a single spherical particle model

I.V. Grozescu, M.M. Moksin

Photothermal technique provides a convenient means for detecting the change in pulse‐induced thermal radiation emission from a single spherical particle. The change in the emitted…

Numerical simulation of a two‐phase dilute flow in a diffuser pipe

Eric Daniel, Jean‐Claude Loraud

A numerical simulation of a two‐phase dilute flow (droplet‐gas mixture) is carried out by using a finite volume method based on Riemann solvers. The computational domain…

Numerical simulation of turbulent flow in an axisymmetric diffuser with a curved surface centre‐body

D. Xu, B.C. Khoo, M.A. Leschziner

The flow inside an axisymmetric diffuser with a curved surface centre body is numerically simulated using different turbulence models, namely a high‐Reynolds number k‐ε in…
