Abstract This paper presents the results of numerical analysis of steady laminar natural convection and surface radiation in the two dimensional partially right side open square cavity filled with natural air (Pr = 0.70) as the fluid medium. The cavity has left isothermal hot wall with top, bottom and right adiabatic walls. In the present study, the governing equations i.e. Navier-Stokes Equation in the stream function – vorticity form and Energy Equation are solved for a constant thermophysical property fluid under the Boussinesq approximation. For discretization of these equations, the finite volume technique is used. For the radiation calculations, the radiosity-irradiation… More >

Abstract The problem of natural convection in rectangular cavities with different aspect ratios has been numerically analyzed in this study. Cavities considered have their right vertical walls heated and cooled at the opposite with constant temperatures, while horizontal walls are kept adiabatic. The objective of this study is to ascertain the significant effects of Rayleigh numbers (Ra), Nusselt numbers (Nu) and aspect ratios (AR) on flow and heat transfer in rectangular cavities. The equations of Navier-Stokes and energy are solved by applying Galerkin weighted residual Finite Element Method. Parametric calculations are performed for Rayleigh numbers (Ra) ranging from 104 to 108… More >

Abstract This paper presents the results of numerical analysis of coupled laminar natural convection and surface radiation in a two-dimensional closed square cavity with the inversely linearly heated vertical opposite side walls and the adiabatic top and bottom walls. The cavity is filled with natural air (Pr = 0.70) as the fluid medium. In the present study, the governing equations i.e., Navier-Stokes Equation in the stream function - vorticity form and Energy Equation are solved for a constant property fluid under the Boussinesq approximation.

Abstract In this paper, natural heat convection inside square and equilateral triangular cavities was studied using a meshless method based on collocation local radial basis function (RBF). The nanofluids used were Cu-water or -water mixture with nanoparticle volume fractions range of . A system of continuity, momentum, and energy partial differential equations was used in modeling the flow and temperature behavior of the fluids. Partial derivatives in the governing equations were approximated using the RBF method. The artificial compressibility model was implemented to overcome the pressure velocity coupling problem that occurs in such equations. The main goal of this work was… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This paper presents an analysis of the forced vibration of an initially stressed rectangular composite plate containing two neighboring cylindrical cavities. The initial stresses are caused by stretching or compressing of the plate with uniformly distributed normal static forces acting on the two opposite end-planes which are parallel to the central axes of the aforementioned cylindrical cavities. The influence of the initial stresses on the stress concentration around the cavities caused by the additional uniformly distributed time harmonic forces acting on the upper face plane of the plate are given. The considered problem is formulated within the framework of the… More >

Abstract In this paper, the identification of hidden defects inside a three-dimen -sional layer is set as an Identification Inverse Problem. This problem is solved by minimizing a cost functional which is linearized with respect to the volume defects, leading to a procedure that requires only computations at the host domain free of defects. The cost functional is stated as the misfit between experimental and computed displacements and spherical and/or ellipsoidal cavities are the defects to locate. The identification of these cavities is based on the measured displacements at a set of points due to time-harmonic point loads at an array… More >

Abstract Roller bearings are used in mechanical setups to reduce rubbing. In some applications, the thermal dissipation involved mostly due to friction between rollers and rings is important. Correct operation of the roller is possible only if local thermal phenomena are controlled. In this work, the resulting dynamical and thermal fields within the enclosures limited by rollers and rings in cylindrical bearings are obtained through numerical modelling. Convective heat transfer is quantified by Nu-Re-Pr correlations for various dynamical and thermal configurations of the bearing. Two specific shape factors of the cavity and common fluids of engineering interest are considered, including air,… More >

Abstract Forced and natural vibrations of a rectangular pre-stressed orthotropic composite plate containing two neighboring cylindrical cavities whose cross sections are rectangular with rounded-off corners are investigated numerically. It is assumed that all the end surfaces of the rectangular pre-stressed composite plate are simply supported and subjected to a uniformly distributed normal time-harmonic force on the upper face plane. The considered problem is formulated within the Three-Dimensional Linearized Theory of Elastic Waves in Initially Stressed Bodies (TDLTEWISB). The influence of mechanical and geometrical parameters as well as the initial stresses and the effect of cylindrical cavities on the dynamical characteristics of… More >
