    Slow Motion of a General Axisymmetric Slip Particle Along Its Axis of Revolution and Normal to One or Two Plane Walls

    Huan J. Keh1, Yu C. Chang2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.62, No.3, pp. 225-254, 2010, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2010.062.225
    Abstract A theoretical study of the Stokes flow caused by a rigid particle of revolution translating axisymmetrically perpendicular to two parallel plane walls at an arbitrary position between them in a viscous fluid, which may slip at the particle surface, is presented. A method of distribution of a set of spherical singularities along the axis of revolution within a prolate particle or on the fundamental plane within an oblate particle is used to find the general solution of the fluid velocity field that satisfies the boundary conditions at the plane walls and at infinity. The slip condition on the particle surface… More >

    Approximate Solution of an Inverse Problem for a Non-Stationary General Kinetic Equation

    Mustafa Yidiz1, Bayram Heydarov2, İsmet Gölgeleyen1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.62, No.3, pp. 255-264, 2010, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2010.062.255
    Abstract We investigate the solvability of an inverse problem for the non-stationary general kinetic equation. We also obtained the approximate solution of this problem by using symbolic computation. A comparison between the approximate solution and the exact solution of the problem is presented. More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.62, No.3, pp. 265-290, 2010, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2010.062.265
    Abstract This paper describes the development of a proper constitutive model of woven fabrics and its implementation in nonlinear finite shell elements in order to simulate the large deformation behavior of cloth. This work currently focuses on a macroscopic continuum constitutive model that is capable of capturing the realistic mechanical behavior of cloth that is characterized by two families of yarns, i.e., warp and weft. In this study, two strategies are considered. One is a rebar layer model and the other is a polyconvex anisotropic hyperelastic material model. The latter avoids non-physical behavior and can consider the effect of the interaction… More >

    Efficient Engineering Prediction of Turbulent Wing Tip Vortex Flows

    Sung-Eun Kim1, Shin Hyung Rhee2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.62, No.3, pp. 291-310, 2010, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2010.062.291
    Abstract Turbulent flow past a finite wing has been computed to assess the fidelity of modern computational fluid dynamics in predicting tip vortex flows. The efficacy of a feature-adaptive local mesh refinement to resolve the steep gradients in the flow field near the tip vortex is demonstrated. The impact of turbulence modeling is evaluated using several popular eddy viscosity models and a Reynolds stress transport model. The results indicate that the combination of a computational mesh with an adequate resolution, high-order spatial discretization scheme along with the use of advanced turbulence models can predict tip vortex flows with acceptable accuracy.
