A new CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulator for an O3/UV reactor where ozone dissolved water flows under the irradiation of UV, has been developed by combining a fluid dynamics model with a complex radical reaction model. The radical reaction model used in this simulator was found to be reasonable, because the results obtained from the simulation of a completely stirred tank reactor (CSTR) system were in good agreement with the experimental results, e.g., the concentrations of total organic carbon (TOC), hydrogen peroxide and dissolved ozone obtained from a lab-scale CSTR. Furthermore, by using this CFD simulator, the distributions of substances such as hydroxyl radical (OHá) and hydrogen peroxide in the O3/UV reactor have been investigated. These distributions showed that this CFD simulator was considered to be reasonable. In addition, the simulation results suggested that conventional reactors were not optimized.

AbstractSafety valves are the most important safety devices of the pressure system. For safety valves in the vast majority of cases in industrial environment, direct spring-loaded safety valves are used. The most important parameter of the equation of motion is the flow force. The main goal of the analysis was to compare the simulated flow forces with the measured results and validating the computational fluid dynamics model. Simulations were made in ANSYS 2019 R1 code for numerous fixed valve disk positions on different pressures. Results are in good agreement with the measured data.

In this study, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was conducted to evaluate a new design of an intervention system. A multiphase analysis was performed to understand the mixing characteristics as the cement is pumped into the well and the degree to which the cement could be contaminated with spacer fluid. A transient multiphase analysis was conducted to examine the flow and the mixing behavior through the various sections of the intervention system. A combination of 2D and 3D CFD models was used, depending upon the geometry in each section. The results indicated that the intervention system operates efficiently without diluting the cement. Non-Newtonian methods used in CFD were validated using available theoretical and experimental data. In a large-scale yard test, good agreement was obtained for resin and water; however, cement did not show good agreement as the flow rate increased over 1 bbl/min.

The procedure to determine manufacturing tolerances for the laminar airfoil is explained using the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis. This procedure is applied to a laminar airfoil for the tolerance of the forward-facing step and rearward-facing step. In the CFD analysis the Langtry-Menter SST Transition model is used to simulate a natural transition over the laminar airfoil. The computed tolerances showed good agreement with experimental data.

In order to evaluate the performance of airfoils with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools, modelling of transitional region in the boundary layer is very critical. Currently, there are several classes of transition-based turbulence model which are based on different methods. Among these, the k-kL- ω, which is a three equation turbulence model, is one of the prominent ones which is based on the concept of laminar kinetic energy. This model is phenomenological and has several advantageous features. Over the years, different researchers have attempted to modify the original version which was proposed by Walter and Cokljat in 2008 to enrich the modelling capability. In this article, a modified form of k-kL-ω transitional turbulence model has been used with the help of OpenFOAM for an investigative CFD analysis of a NACA 4-digit airfoil at range of angles of attack.
