3-D flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluids
(ASME, 1998)The flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluids through a sudden 3-D square with expansion height ratio of 2:1 is studied numerically by solving the mass and momentum conservation equations along with a continuous constitutive relation. ...

An analytical solution for rapidly distorted turbulent shear flow in a rotating frame
(2006)In this study we apply rapid distortion theory to the case of nonstratified homogeneous turbulence that is sheared in a frame that counter-rotates at a rate that matches in magnitude the rotation associated with the mean ...

Annular liquid jets at high Reynolds numbers
(2003)The flow of annular liquid jets at high Reynolds numbers is analysed by means of the finite element method and the full-Newton iteration scheme. Results have been obtained for various values of the inner to the outer ...

The ASBM-SA turbulence closure: Taking advantage of structure-based modeling in current engineering CFD codes
(2015)Structure-based turbulence models (SBM) carry information about the turbulence structure that is needed for the prediction of complex non-equilibrium flows. SBM have been successfully used to predict a number of canonical ...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) Simulations of aerosol deposition in the lungs
(TSFP-9, 2015)In the current study, Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are used to investigate the transport and deposition of inhaled aerosol particles (dp = 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, 10 μm) in a realistic geometry of the human airways under ...

The contribution of active and inactive structures to the statistics of a turbulent pipe flow
(2017)The current study is a short follow-up to our most recent work (Stylianou et al., 2016), where among other things we have presented an effective criterion suitable for distinguishing large-scale coherent structures with ...

Converged solutions of the Newtonian extrudate-swell problem
(1999)Both the axisymmetric and the planar Newtonian extrudate-swell problems are solved using the standard and the singular finite element methods. In the latter method, special elements that incorporate the radial form of the ...

Core of the magnetic obstacle
(2010)Rich recirculation patterns have been recently discovered in the electrically conducting flow subject to a local external magnetic termed "the magnetic obstacle" (E.V. Votyakov, Y. Kolesnikov, O. Andreev, E. Zienicke, and ...

Direct numerical simulation of particle laden flow in a human airway bifurcation model
(2016)During the delivery of inhaled medicines, and depending on the size distribution of the particles in the formulation, airway bifurcations are areas of preferential deposition. Previous studies of laminar flow through airway ...

Dispersed-phase structural anisotropy in homogeneous magnetohydrodynamic turbulence at low magnetic Reynolds number
(2008)A new tensor statistic, the dispersed-phase structure dimensionality Dp, is defined to describe the preferred orientation of clusters of discrete bodies. The evolution of Dp is calculated via direct numerical simulations ...

Dispersed-phase structure in sheared MHD turbulence
(2012)Direct numerical simulations are performed to examine particle dispersion in homogeneous turbulence subjected to mean shear and an externally applied magnetic field. We employ the Brucker et al. algorithm for simulating ...

Effect of turbulent pulsating flow around a near-wall submerged cylinder on the potential motion of bed and suspended loads
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, 2016)In the present work, the pulsating flow around a submerged cylinder close to the impermeable seabed is examined by means of Large Eddy Simulations (LES). A Reynolds number equal to Re = 5000 is considered, based on the ...

Efficient treatment of complex geometries for large eddy simulations of turbulent flows
(2004)Incompressible turbulent flow over a backward facing step at Reh=5100 is investigated by large eddy simulations (LES). The ratio of the oncoming boundary layer thickness δ to the step height h was set to 1.2. Additionally ...

The hp finite element method for problems in mechanics with boundary layers
(1998)Boundary layer phenomena are well-known in the study of fluid flow problems. Perhaps less known, but equally ubiquitous, is their existence in thermal, plate and shell analysis, where they also play a very significant role. ...

Laminar free convection in a square enclosure driven by the Lorentz force
(2010)A numerical study is presented of laminar free convection flow driven by magnetic forces. An external magnetic field with one spatially varying component is applied to an electrically conducting fluid in a square enclosure. ...
