In this paper, the influences of low heat transfer condition at the outer walls on the microcombustor are investigated due to the fact that a sufficiently small heat transfer coefficient at the outer wall incurs the upstream burning in the recirculation jacket, results in the high wall temperature, and hence possibly damages the microcombustor. Numerical simulation approaches focused on the microcombustor with the flame burning in the recirculation jacket. Combustion characteristics of the combustor were first analyzed based on 2D computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and then the most dangerous locations on the combustor were predicted by means of the 3D finite element analysis method. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of CFD and stress modeling for the design and improvement of the microcombustors.

It is well established that strakes are effective at suppressing vortex-induced vibrations (VIV). Fairings are an attractive alternative to helical strakes, because they are a low drag VIV suppression solution. The paper presents an evaluation of a fairing design, based on numerical simulations — to be complemented at a later stage with current tank testing. This paper documents the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA) of the evaluation: (1) 3-D CFD in the laboratory scale: 4.5 inch pipe, 3 ft/s current speed, (2) 3-D CFD in the full scale: 14 inch riser, 4 knots current speed, and (3) 3-D FEA of the full-scale fairing module latching mechanism, under service loads corresponding to 4 knots current speed. The analysis results show that the fairing design (1) is effective at suppressing VIV, (2) yields a low drag coefficient (0.52 at Re ∼ 106), and (3) its latching mechanism is adequate for use in calm sea states with 4 knots current speeds.

The paper presents some results about thetension state in samples subject to pure bending fatigue process. Numerical simulation based on finit elementmethod was used. The tension field induced by a verticaldeformation imposed at the sample ends was generatedon an original patented machine. The studies werecarried out on two steels currently used in pressurevessels industry. Experimental data are in good agreementwith the simulated ones.

The word greenhouse dryer is used for a building which is highly glazed with thermal conditioning for desired range and it is used for cultivating crops, plants, vegetables, etc. The actual working of a greenhouse is that the short-wave radiations falling on the greenhouse are absorbed by the outer glazing material thereby heating the interior area of greenhouse and providing ambient heat for plants, vegetables growth respectively. The heated space is retained within the enclosure of greenhouse. This phenomenon is called as greenhouse effect. The important role played during the greenhouse effect phenomenon are atmosphere, insulating roofs, walls, etc. The current study focuses on the numerical and experimental validation of Solar Greenhouse which is utilized for drying phenomenon. The numerical simulation is performed using Finite Element Analysis method. The various roof shapes have been incorporated to have emphasis on maximum solar gain to drying phenomenon.

Yueniang bridge is curve, slope and slant single span special arch bridge with diagonal crossing arch rib and curved girder. A spatial finite element analysis method was used in this paper. Static characteristics and stability was analysis and discussed by means of modeling, discrete element and determination. Concrete measures for suspender of curved bridge were also advanced. It can provide a reference for design of similar bridge.

We propose a thermo-hydro-mechanically coupled finite element analysis method for clay with a thermo-elasto-viscoplastic model. The volume changes in soil particles and pore fluids are introduced into the analysis method. The instability of the problem is studied and a numerical simulation of the thermal consolidation is presented using the newly developed analysis method. It was confirmed that the analysis method can reproduce the thermal consolidation phenomenon well.
