Abstract This paper represents a detailed and systematic review of one of the most ongoing applications of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in biomedical applications. Beyond its various engineering applications, CFD has started to establish a presence in the biomedical field. Cardiac abnormality, a familiar health issue, is an essential point of investigation by research analysts. Diagnostic modalities provide cardiovascular structural information but give insufficient information about the hemodynamics of blood. The study of hemodynamic parameters can be a potential measure for determining cardiovascular abnormalities. Numerous studies have explored the rheological behavior of blood experimentally and numerically.… More >

Abstract To accurately predict the film thickness distribution during dynamic spraying performed with air guns and support accordingly the development of intelligent spray painting, the spray problem was analyzed numerically. In particular, the Eulerian-Eulerian approach was employed to calculate the paint atomization and film deposition process. Different spray heights, spray angles, spray gun movement speeds, spray trajectory curvature radii, and air pressure values were considered. Numerical simulation results indicate that the angle of spray painting significantly affects the velocity of droplets near the spray surface. With an increase in the spraying angle, spraying height and spray… More >

Abstract Various regions are becoming increasingly vulnerable to the increased frequency of floods due to the recent changes in climate and precipitation patterns throughout the world. As a result, specific infrastructures, notably bridges, would experience significant flooding for which they were not intended and would be submerged. The flow field and shear stress distribution around tandem bridge piers under pressurized flow conditions for various bridge deck widths are examined using a series of three-dimensional (3D) simulations. It is indicated that scenarios with a deck width to pier diameter (Ld/p) ratio of 3 experience the highest levels of… More >

Abstract Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are largely used in various applications because of their pollution-free products and high energy conversion efficiency. In order to improve the related design, in the present work a new spiral flow field with a bypass is proposed. The reaction gas enters the flow field in the central path and diffuses in two directions through the flow channel and the bypass. The bypasses are arranged incrementally. The number of bypasses and the cross-section size of the bypasses are varied parametrically while a single-cell model of the PEMFC is used. The More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The influence of the width of the circular ring of a car cooling fan on the aerodynamic noise is investigated numerically through the determination of the overall sound pressure level (OASPL). The results demonstrate that when the circular rings cover near 2/3 of the width of the blade tips of the rotor in the axis direction, the rotor has the lowest OASPL and the related total pressure efficiency and flow mass rate are better than the corresponding values obtained for a reference rotor without a circular ring. With increasing the width of the circular ring More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The length of flame and behavior of the flame and homogenization in temperature distribution play the main roles to obtain a better quality of lime. Performing experiments in a real lime shaft kiln plant are quite complicated. A lime shaft kiln normally has a large geometry, including a height of 15 meters and a diameter of 3 meters, and is filled with large stones moving in a vertical direction. In most cases, the measuring instruments are damaged. Due to these difficulties, modeling of physical and chemical processes is required for having a better understanding of… More >

Abstract Scroll technology is widely used in refrigerators as compressors. This research paper presents the performance of a scroll-type expander derived from a scroll compressor. The research is carried out at low pressures. The effect of mechanical load on performance has been evaluated using compressed air as a working fluid. Two stages of the evaluation process are carried out in this research. In the first stage, the scroll expander model is numerically simulated using the CFD approach to predict the factors influencing the scroll expander performance. In the later stage, an experiment is carried out on… More >

Abstract The current study numerically analyzes the heat transfer enhancement and laminar fluid flow characteristics of four flat tubes with varying attack front airflow. The heat transfer characteristics of flat tubes are investigated in terms of Reynolds number, heat fluxes, and inclination angle. Four Reynolds numbers are studied (100, 200, 300, and 400), and three heat fluxes on the surface of the tubes are (1000, 2500, 3800 W/m2 ), the inclination angle of the four flat tubes are (30o , 45o , 90o).

Abstract A new design of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) mixer called tornado was developed for a heavy-duty diesel engine to solve the urea deposition problem. A combination of CFD simulation and experimental studies was used to comprehensively evaluate the performance of the tornado mixer. According to the numerical simulations, this mixer can improve the front surface flow uniformity of the SCR carrier by 6.67% and the NH₃ distribution uniformity by 3.19% compared to a traditional mixer. Similarly, steady state SCR conversion efficiency test results have shown that the tornado mixer can increase the average SCR conversion More >

Abstract In a turbine of a jet engine, deposition phenomenon is often observed. Deposition is a phenomenon that particles such as volcanic ash, sand and dust passing through a combustion chamber of a jet engine are melt, rapidly cooled and then accumulate on the turbine blade and end-wall surfaces. Deposition is one of critical problems when aircraft flies in a cloud with many particles. Obviously, deposition can degrade the aerodynamic performance of the turbine blade and vane, and make partial or complete blockage of film-cooling holes. As the result, deposition deteriorates safety and life time of… More >
