Abstract Nanofluid film on a horizontal tube is investigated numerically on the circular and multi-faceted cylinder. The fluid flow characteristics, including film thickness, shear stress, and thermal performance, are observed and analyzed. Fluid film on the circular surface is typical in many engineering applications, but the study of nanofluid film on non-circular surface is deficient in literature. The study provides a numerical model of a multi-faceted cylinder to simulate the nanofluid film on the non-circular surfaces using a volume of fluid (VOF) method. The ratio of Brownian motion to thermophoretic diffusion, N_BT developed along the film thickness More >

Abstract With the aid of non-contact measurements of vibrating surfaces through laser scanning, operating deflection shapes (ODSs) with high spatial resolutions can be used to graphically characterize damage in plane structures. Although numerous damage identification approaches relying on laser-measured ODSs have been developed for plate-type structures, they cannot be directly applied to circular cylinders due to the gap between equations of motions of plates and circular cylinders. To fill this gap, a novel approach is proposed in this study for damage identification of circular cylinders. Damage-induced discontinuities of the derivatives of ODSs can be used to More >

Abstract Forced and mixed convection in 2-D, steady state, laminar flow and heat transfer around sinusoidal corrugated circular cylinder are numerically studied. Finite Element of Galerkin approach is used to analyze continuity, momentum and energy equation at Reynolds number (Re = 01, 45, 100, 200), Richardson Number (Ri=0, 1, 2), corrugation number (G = ꚙ, 3, 4, 5, 10), amplitude values (λ= 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.6) for Prandtl number (Pr = 0.71). Results show the variation of corrugation number G and amplitude value λ have important effect on the streamline , isothermal lines, local and More >

Abstract The present work emphasizes the significance of oscillatory mixed convection stratified fluid and heat transfer characteristics at different stations of non-conducting horizontally circular cylinder in the presence of thermally stratified medium. To remove the difficulties in illustrating the coupled PDE’s, the finite-difference scheme with efficient primitive-variable formulation is proposed to transform dimensionless equations. The numerical simulations of coupled non-dimensional equations are computed in terms velocity of fluid, temperature and magnetic field which are computed to examine the fluctuating components of skin friction, heat transfer and current density for various emerging parameters. The governing parameters namely, More >

Abstract This paper focuses on the numerical solution for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of micropolar Casson fluid with thermal radiation over a horizontal circular cylinder. The nonlinear partial differential equations of the boundary layer are first transformed into a non-dimensional form and then solved numerically using an implicit finite difference scheme known as Keller-box method. The The effects of the emerging parameters, namely Casson fluid parameter, magnetic parameter, radiation parameter and micropolar parameter on the local Nusselt number and the local skin friction coefficient, as well as the temperature, velocity and angular velocity profiles are shown graphically More >

Abstract The present study deals with the computational analysis on an electrically conducting magneto viscoelastic fluid over a circular cylinder. Prescribed partial slip effects are also taken into account. The governing physical problem is tackled numerically by using the highly efficient and reliable Keller box algorithm.

Abstract In the present work, natural convection heat transfer of Cu-water nanofluid inside a wavy wall enclosure is investigated numerically by using the finite volume discretization method. The study examines the effect of the nanoparticle volume fraction, the Rayleigh number, the wave amplitude, and the undulations number on the heat transfer rate. The results show that the heat transfer rate inside the wavy enclosure enhances by decreasing the wavy surface amplitude and increasing undulations number. It is also found that by increasing the volume fraction of nanoparticles and Rayleigh number, the heat transfer rate increases. More >

Abstract Employing Biot’s theory of wave propagation in liquid saturated porous media, the effect of rotation and magnetic field on wave propagation in a hollow poroelastic circular of infinite extent are investigated. An exact closed form solution is presented. General frequency equations for propagation of poroelastic cylinder are obtained when the boundaries are stress free. The frequencies are calculated for poroelastic cylinder for different values of magnetic field and rotation. Numerical results are given and illustrated graphically. The results indicate that the effect of rotation, and magnetic field are very pronounced. Such a model would be More >

Abstract This study investigates the heat transfer in the mode of natural convection from a pair of hot cylinders to a cold square enclosure. Effects of boundary conditions of the enclosure on the rate of heat transfer from a pair of isothermal hot cylinders are investigated at a Rayleigh number of 10⁵ . The cylinders are arranged in a horizontal array at the middle height of enclosure. The commercial software, Fluent (V.6.3.26), is utilized to solve the problem using the Finite Volume Method. The streamlines as well as isothermal lines of the problem are reported. Moreover, the More >
