The flow field in an inertial impactor was studied experimentally with a water model by means of a flow visualization technique. The influence of such parameters as Reynolds number and jet-to-plate distance on the flow field was determined. The Navier-Stokes equations describing the laminar flow field in the impactor were solved numerically by means of a finite difference relaxation method. The theoretical results were found to be in good agreement with the empirical observations made with the water model.

The Navier-Stokes equations and the equation of continuity describing the flow in the flat-faced nozzle-flapper valve are numerically solved by the iterative relaxation method and the effect of the flow contraction (vena contracta) occurring in the radial gap in the valve is investigated. Furthermore, an approximate formula for the flow force acting on the flapper is derived on the basis of the numerical solutions. The formula for the flow force is in good agreement with experimental results.

The multidimensional, ensemble-averaged, compressible, time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations have been used to study the turbulent flow field in two and three-dimensional turbine cascades. The viscous regions of the flow were resolved and no-slip boundary conditions were utilized on solid surfaces. The calculations were performed in a constructive ‘O’-type grid which allows representation of the blade rounded trailing edge. Converged solutions were obtained in relatively few time steps (∼ 80–150) and comparisons for both surface pressure and heat transfer showed good agreement with data. The three-dimensional turbine cascade calculation showed many of the expected flow-field features.

       In this paper, the phenomena of vortex shedding from the circular cylinder surface has been studied at several Reynolds Numbers (40≤Re≤ 300).The 2D, unsteady, incompressible, Laminar flow, continuity and Navier Stokes equations have been solved numerically by using CFD Package FLUENT. In this package PISO algorithm is used in the pressure-velocity coupling.        The numerical grid is generated by using Gambit program. The velocity and pressure fields are obtained upstream and downstream of the cylinder at each time and it is also calculated the mean value of drag coefficient and value of lift coefficient .The results showed that the flow is strongly unsteady and unsymmetrical at Re>60. The results have been compared with the available experiments and a good agreement has been found between them

The paper is devoted to numerical modeling of Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible media in the case, when there exist gas and liquid inside the rectangular calculation region, which are separated by interphase boundary. The set of equations for incompressible liquid accounting for viscous, gravitational and surface (capillary) forces is solved by finite-difference scheme on the spaced grid, for description of interphase boundary the ideology of Level Set Method is used. By developed numerical code the set of hydrodynamic problems is solved, which describe the motion of two-phase incompressible media with interphase boundary. As a result of numerical simulation the solutions are obtained, which are in good agreement with existing analytical and experimental solutions.

Homogenized Model

The interaction between a fluid flow and a transversely isotropic porous medium is described. A homogenized model is used to treat the flow field in the porous region, and different interface conditions, needed to match solutions at the boundary between the pure fluid and the porous regions, are evaluated. Two problems in different flow regimes (laminar and turbulent) are considered to validate the system, which includes inertia in the leading-order equations for the permeability tensor through a Oseen approximation. The components of the permeability, which characterize microscopically the porous medium and determine the flow field at the macroscopic scale, are reasonably well estimated by the theory, both in the laminar and the turbulent case. This is demonstrated by comparing the model’s results to both experimental measurements and direct numerical simulations of the Navier–Stokes equations which resolve the flow also through the pores of the medium.

Abstract Uniform inf-sup conditions are of fundamental importance for the finite element solution of problems in incompressible fluid mechanics, such as the Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations. In this work we prove a uniform inf-sup condition for the lowest-order Taylor–Hood pairs $\mathbb{Q}_2\times \mathbb{Q}_1$ and $\mathbb{P}_2\times \mathbb{P}_1$ on a family of affine anisotropic meshes. These meshes may contain refined edge and corner patches. We identify necessary hypotheses for edge patches to allow uniform stability and sufficient conditions for corner patches. For the proof, we generalize Verfürth’s trick and recent results by some of the authors. Numerical evidence confirms the theoretical results.

ABSTRACTThis paper presents a numerical study on turbulent vortex shedding flows past a square cylinder. The 2D unsteady periodic shedding motion was resolved in the calculation and the superimposed turbulent fluctuations were simulated with a second-order Reynolds-stress closure model. The calculations were carried out by solving numerically the fully elliptic ensemble-averaged Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the turbulence model equations together with the two-layer approach in the treatment of the near-wall region. The performance of the computations was evaluated by comparing the numerical results with data from available experiments. Results indicate that the present study gives good agreement in the shedding frequency and mean drag as well as in some phase profiles of the mean velocity.

Capabilities of numerical tools to simulate fluid problems significantly depend on its methods to solve for the Navier-Stokes equations. Different dimensional computing tools using the same horizontal meshes were used to simulate flow conditions inside non- and vegetation meandering compound channel. Both tools give good agreement for simulations of depth-averaged streamwise velocity inside the main channel, but its capabilities vary significantly for simulations on floodplains. Lower relative depth recorded a higher percentage of errors than flow with higher relative depth. Vegetation along the main channel increased the flows complexity especially in the area near the vegetation thus reducing the simulation capabilities of the computing tools. Simulations work by TELEMAC-3D significantly better in the areas with highly dimensional and turbulence conditions. TELEMAC-2D is still useful because of its simplicity and lower computing time and resources required.
