    Sound Power Radiation Sensitivity and Variability Using a 'Hybrid' Numerical Model

    Max de Castro Magalhaes1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.89, No.4, pp. 263-281, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.089.263
    Abstract The main objective is to develop a 'hybrid' numerical method for predicting sound power radiated from honey-comb panels and analyze the sensitivity and variability of it to different boundary conditions. The honey-comb panels are mainly used on the aerospace, mechanical and civil engineering design. The method used herein is a combination of the Finite Element Method and the Jinc Function Approach. The original contribution of this paper is therefore to show the sensitivity of sound power radiated from a honey-comb panel using a 'hybrid' method which is simple and efficient on tackling sound radiation problems for complex orthotropic panels, especially… More >

    Numerical Modelling of Turbulence Effects on Droplet Collision Dynamics using the Level Set Method

    Ashraf Balabel1,
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.89, No.4, pp. 283-301, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.089.283
    Abstract This paper presents a novel numerical method for solving the twophase flow problems with moving interfaces in either laminar or turbulent flow regimes. The developed numerical method is based on the solution of the Reynolds- Averaged Navier Stokes equations in both phases separately with appropriate boundary conditions located at the interface separating the two fluids. The solution algorithm is performed on a regular and structured two-dimensional computational grid using the control volume approach. The complex shapes as well as the geometrical quantities of the interface are determined via the level set method. The numerical method is firstly validated against the… More >

    RBF-Based Multiscale Control Volume Method for Second Order Elliptic Problems with Oscillatory Coefficients

    D.-A. An-Vo1, C.-D. Tran1, N. Mai-Duy1, T. Tran-Cong1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.89, No.4, pp. 303-359, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.089.303
    Abstract Many important engineering problems have multiple-scale solutions. Thermal conductivity of composite materials, flow in porous media, and turbulent transport in high Reynolds number flows are examples of this type. Direct numerical simulations for these problems typically require extremely large amounts of CPU time and computer memory, which may be too expensive or impossible on the present supercomputers. In this paper, we develop a high order computational method, based on multiscale basis function approach and integrated radialbasis- function (IRBF) approximant, for the solution of multiscale elliptic problems with reduced computational cost. Unlike other methods based on multiscale basis function approach, sets… More >
