Abstract The differential equations of continuum mechanics are the basis of an uncountable variety of phenomena and technological processes in fluid-dynamics and related fields. These equations contain derivatives of the first order with respect to time. The derivation of the equations of continuum mechanics uses the limit transitions of the tendency of the volume increment and the time increment to zero. Derivatives are used to derive the wave equation. The differential wave equation is second order in time. Therefore, increments of volume and increments of time in continuum mechanics should be considered as small but finite More >

Abstract Due to the low water-cement ratio of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), fluidity and shrinkage cracking are key aspects determining the performance and durability of this type of concrete. In this study, the effects of different types of cementitious materials, chemical shrinkage-reducing agents (SRA) and steel fiber (SF) were assessed. Compared with M2-UHPC and M3-UHPC, M1-UHPC was found to have better fluidity and shrinkage cracking performance. Moreover, different SRA incorporation methods, dosage and different SF types and aspect ratios were implemented. The incorporation of SRA and SF led to a decrease in the fluidity of UHPC. SRA More >

Abstract In this paper, we study the onset and development of three-dimensional convection in a tilted porous layer saturated with a liquid. The layer is subjected to a gravitational field and a strictly vertical temperature gradient. Typically, problems of thermal convection in tilted porous media saturated with a liquid are studied by assuming constant different temperatures at the boundaries of the layer, which prevent these systems from supporting conductive (non-convective) states. The boundary conditions considered in the present work allow a conductive state and are representative of typical geological applications. In an earlier work, we carried… More >

Abstract CO₂ pre-injection during hydraulic fracturing is an important method for the development of medium to deep heavy oil reservoirs. It reduces the interfacial tension and viscosity of crude oil, enhances its flowability, maintains reservoir pressure, and increases reservoir drainage capacity. Taking the Badaowan Formation as an example, in this study a detailed three-dimensional geomechanical model based on static data from well logging interpretations is elaborated, which can take into account both vertical and horizontal geological variations and mechanical characteristics. A comprehensive analysis of the impact of key construction parameters on Pre-CO₂ based fracturing (such as cluster More >

Abstract A model is proposed for liquid film profile prediction in gas-liquid two-phase flow, which is able to provide the film thickness along the circumferential direction and the pressure gradient in the flow direction. A two-fluid model is used to calculate both gas and liquid phases’ flow characteristics. The secondary flow occurring in the gas phase is taken into account and a sailing boat mechanism is introduced. Moreover, energy conservation is applied for obtaining the liquid film thickness distribution along the circumference. Liquid film thickness distribution is calculated accordingly for different cases; its values are compared More >

Abstract When better fuel-air mixing in the combustion chamber or a reduction in base drag are required in vehicles, rockets, and aeroplanes, the base pressure control is activated. Controlling the base pressure and drag is necessary in both scenarios. In this work, semi-circular ribs with varying diameters (2, 4, and 6 mm) positioned at six distinct positions (0.5D, 1D, 1.5D, 2D, 3D, and 4D) inside a square duct with a side of 15 mm are proposed as an efficient way to apply the passive control technique. In-depth research is done on optimising rib size for various More >

Abstract The focus of this research was on the equivalent particle roughness height correction required to account for the presence of ice when determining the performances of wind turbines. In particular, two icing processes (frost ice and clear ice) were examined by combining the FENSAP-ICE and FLUENT analysis tools. The ice type on the blade surfaces was predicted by using a multi-time step method. Accordingly, the influence of variations in icing shape and ice surface roughness on the aerodynamic performance of blades during frost ice formation or clear ice formation was investigated. The results indicate that More >

Abstract The effects of the erosion present on the leading edge of a wind turbine airfoil (DU 96-W-180) on its aerodynamic performances have been investigated numerically in the framework of a SST k–ω turbulence model based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS). The results indicate that when sand-induced holes and small pits are involved as leading edge wear features, they have a minimal influence on the lift and drag coefficients of the airfoil. However, if delamination occurs in the same airfoil region, it significantly impacts the lift and resistance characteristics of the airfoil. Specifically, as More >

Abstract Nowadays, materials with a limited impact on the environment are required in the construction sector. Considering the interesting properties of natural elements such as natural fibers, it seems advantageous to use them to reinforce materials while protecting the environment and guaranteeing economic gain. Along these lines, this research was devoted to studying the effect of untreated natural fibers extracted from the Juncus maritimus plant (from Southern Morocco) on plaster. First, the effect of the percentage of added fibers on the fluidity of the plaster was evaluated by means of the Marsh’s cone method, that is,… More >

Abstract Phosphate tailings are usually used as backfill material in order to recycle tailings resources. This study considers the effect of the mix proportions of clinker-free binders on the fluidity, compressive strength and other key performances of cementitious backfill materials based on phosphate tailings. In particular, three solid wastes, phosphogypsum (PG), semi-aqueous phosphogypsum (HPG) and calcium carbide slag (CS), were selected to activate wet ground granulated blast furnace slag (WGGBS) and three different phosphate tailings backfill materials were prepared. Fluidity, rheology, settling ratio, compressive strength, water resistance and ion leaching behavior of backfill materials were determined.… More >

Abstract The behavior of non-Newtonian power-law nanofluids under free convection heat transfer conditions in a cooled square enclosure equipped with a heated fin is investigated numerically. In particular, the impact of nanofluids, composed of water and Al₂O₃, TiO₂, and Cu nanoparticles, on heat transfer enhancement is examined. The aim of this research is also to analyze the influence of different parameters, including the Rayleigh number (Ra = 10⁴ − 10⁶), nanoparticle volume fraction (φ = 0% − 20%), non-Newtonian power-law indexes (n = 0.6 − 1.4), and fin dimensions (Ar = 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7).

Abstract The current study focuses on spray cooling applied to the heat exchange components of a cooling tower. An optimization of such processes is attempted by assessing different spray flow rates and droplet sizes. For simplicity, the heat exchanger of the cooling tower is modeled as a horizontal round tube and a cooling tower spray cooling model is developed accordingly using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. The study examines the influence of varying spray flow rates and droplet sizes on the heat flow intensity between the liquid layer on the surface of the cylindrical tube… More >

Abstract The dynamics of rotating hydrodynamic systems containing phase inclusions are interesting due to the related widespread occurrence in nature and technology. The influence of external force fields on rotating systems can be used to control the dynamics of inclusions of various types. Controlling inclusions is of current interest for space technologies. In low gravity, even a slight vibration effect can lead to the appearance of a force acting on phase inclusions near a solid boundary. When vibrations are applied to multiphase hydrodynamic systems, the oscillating body intensively interacts with the fluid and introduces changes in… More >

Abstract High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes have gradually become the first choice for gas networks because of their excellent characteristics. As the use of pipes increases, there will unavoidably be a significant amount of waste generated when the pipes cease their operation life, which, if improperly handled, might result in major environmental contamination issues. In this study, the thermal degradation of polyethylene materials is simulated for different pressures (10, 50, 100, and 150 MPa) and temperatures (2300, 2500, 2700, and 2900 K) in the framework of Reactive Force Field (ReaxFF) molecular dynamics simulation.
