Development of a large‐eddy simulation open channel code

J. Shi, T.G. Thomas, J.J.R. Williams

Describes further development of a 3D finite difference code written to model turbulent flows in an open channel with a moving free surface. The code has been developed so that…

Finite element analysis of radial cooled rotating electrical machines

M.S. Rajagopal, K.N. Seetharamu, P.A. Aswatha Narayana

Accurate prediction of temperature distribution in an electrical machine at the design stage is becoming increasingly important. It is essential to know the locations and…

Time‐dependentcomputations of turbulent bluff‐body diffusion flames close to extinction

P. Koutmos, C. Mavridis, D. Papailiou

A two dimensional time‐dependent Navier Stokes formulation that encompasses aspects from both the LES formalism and the conventional k‐ε approaches was employed to calculate a…

Equilibration of heat conduction simulation in a very thin film using molecular dynamics

H. Xue, C. Shu

This investigation deals with the equilibration of heat conduction simulation in a very thin film using molecular dynamics. Two parameters, the positional order parameter and the…

Solidification of a superheated fluid in a porous medium: effects of convection

Xiaoli Zhang, T. Hung Nguyen

The solidification of a superheated fluid‐porous medium contained in a rectangular cavity is studied numerically. The bottom and side walls of the cavity are insulated while the…

A comparison study on fin surfaces in finned‐tube heat exchangers

Tony W.H. Sheu, S.F Tsai

A three‐dimensional numerical study was conducted to assess the heat transfer performance of extended fins in a two‐row finned tube heat exchanger. Fins under investigation were…
