This paper presents the first scale resolving computational fluid dynamic (CFD) investigation of a geometrically realistic feather shuttlecock with rotation at a high Reynolds number. Rotation was found to reduce the drag coefficient of the shuttlecock. However, the drag coefficient is shown to be independent of the Reynolds number for both rotating and statically fixed shuttlecocks. Particular attention is given to the influence of rotation on the development of flow structures. Rotation is shown to have a clear influence on the formation of flow structures particularly from the feather vanes, and aft of the shuttlecock base. This further raises concerns regarding wind tunnel studies that use traditional experimental sting mounts; typically inserted into this aft region, they have potential to compromise both flow structure and resultant drag forces. As CFD does not necessitate use of a sting with proper application, it has great potential for a detailed study and analysis of shuttlecocks.

Laminar Forced Convection

A numerical investigation of entropy generation in laminar forced convection of gas flow over a recess including two inclined backward and forward facing steps in a horizontal duct under bleeding condition is presented. For calculation of entropy generation from the second law of thermodynamics in a forced convection flow, the velocity and temperature distributions are primary needed. For this purpose, the two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system is used to solve the governing equations which are conservations of mass, momentum and energy. These equations are solved numerically using the computational fluid dynamic techniques to obtain the temperature and velocity fields, while the blocked region method is employed to simulate the inclined surface. Discretized forms of these equations are obtained by the finite volume method and solved using the SIMPLE algorithm. The numerical results are presented graphically and the effects of bleeding coefficient and recess length as the main parameters on the distributions of entropy generation number and Bejan number are investigated. Also, the effect of Reynolds number and bleeding coefficient on total entropy generation which shows the amount of flow irreversibilities is presented for two recess length. The use of present results in the design process of such thermal system would help the system attain the high performance during exploitation. Comparison of numerical results with the available data published in open literature shows a good consistency.

In this paper a numerical investigation on mixed convection in confined slot jets impinging on a partially filled configuration of porous medium by considering pure water or Al2O3/water based nanofluids is described. A two-dimensional model is developed and different Peclet numbers are considered. Rayleigh numbers is imposed equal to 30000. The particle volume concentration ranges from 0% to 4% and the particle diameter is assumed equal to 20, 30 and 80 nm. The target surface is heated at constant temperature value, calculated according to the value of Rayleigh number. The distance of the target surface is five times greater than the slot jet width. Three different values of the ratio between the total system length and metal foam length are considered. A single-phase model approach is employed in order to describe the nanofluid behaviour while the hypothesis of non-local thermal equilibrium is assumed to simulate the thermal behaviour in the metal foam. The foam is characterized by a number of pores per inch equal to 5, 10, 20 and 40 and a porosity around 0.90. The aim of the paper consists to study the thermal and fluid-dynamic behaviour of the impinging jet system with nanofluids. Results show increasing values of the Nusselt number for increasing values of Peclet number and nanoparticle concentration. In addition, the ratio between the thermal and pumping power is evaluated to find a trade-off between the increase of heat transfer and pressure drop.
