With increase in energy requirement, the researchers are looking for energy efficient passive ventilation techniques. The current design concept is based on environment sustainability and use of renewable energy sources is preferred over conventional energy sources. The current research investigates the wind catcher design with cooling pads using techniques of Computational Fluid Dynamics. The CAD model of wind catcher is designed using Creo design software and CFD analysis is conducted using ANSYS CFX software. The CFD analysis is directed at different air inlet velocities and SSG Reynolds stress turbulence model under steady state thermal conditions for both side open design and singe side open designs. The cooling pads have successfully reduced temperature up to 1.65 degrees for single side opening and 2.86 degrees for double side opening design. Maximum air flow rate is achieved with higher air inlet velocities for both design types.

A two-dimensional fluidynamics model for turbulent flow of gas in cyclones is used to evaluate the importance of the anisotropic of the Reynolds stress components. This study presents consisted in to simulate through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package the operation of the Lapple cyclone. Yields of velocity obtained starting from a model anisotropic of the Reynolds stress are compared with experimental data of the literature, as form of validating the results obtained through the use of the Computational fluid dynamics (Fluent). The experimental data of the axial and swirl velocities validate numeric results obtained by the model.


A two-component laser velocimeter has been used to determine the effect of wall strain rate, polymer concentration and channel height upon the drag reduction and turbulent structure in fully developed, low concentration, two-dimensional channel flows. Water flows at equal wall shear stress and with Reynolds numbers from 14430 to 34640 were measured for comparison. Drag reduction levels clearly depended upon wall strain rate, polymer concentration and channel height independently.However, most of the turbulent structure depended only upon the level of drag reduction. The slope of the logarithmic law of the wall increased as drag reduction increased. Similarly, the root-mean-square of the fluctuations in the streamwise velocity increased while the r.m.s. of the fluctuations in the wall-normal velocity decreased with drag reduction. The production of the streamwise normal Reynolds stress and the Reynolds shear stress decreased in the drag-reduced flows. Therefore it appears that the polymer solutions inhibit the transfer of energy from the streamwise to the wall-normal velocity fluctuations. This could occur through inhibiting the newtonian transfer mechanism provided by the pressure-strain correlation. In six drag-reducing flows, the sum of the Reynolds stress and the mean viscous stress was equal to the total shear stress. However, for the combination of highest concentration (5 p.p.m.), smallest channel height (25 mm) and highest wall strain rate (4000 s - 1 ), the sum of the Reynolds and viscous stresses was substantially lower than the total stress indicating the presence of a strong non-newtonian effect. In all drag-reducing flows the correlation coefficient for uv decreased as the axes of principal stress for the Reynolds stress rotated toward the streamwise and wall-normal directions.
