An original mathematical formulation for suspended sediments in a two-dimensional wave boundary layer is presented. The model accounts for non-immediate adaptation of sediments to the hydrodinamic conditions, and allows to include the effect of sorting of the different diameters considered. The mathematical model is numerically solved through a finite difference scheme. It is suitable that results compare favourably with experimental data by Staub et alii.

The aim of this work is a theoretical investigation to the problem of heat transfer from an isothermal horizontal cylinder rotating in a quiescent fluid. The study is based on the solution of the conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy for two-dimensional flow of a Boussinesq fluid. The effects of the parameters which influence the heat transfer process namely the Reynolds number and Grashof number are considered while the Prandtl number is held constant. Streamline and isotherm patterns are obtained from the mathematical model and the results are compared with previous experimental data. A satisfactory agreement was found.

Mathematical model is one of the means to study of turbulent wave boundary layer. The paper analysis of the existing model, adopt a more reasonable boundary condition to establish a improved mathematical model of 1DV turbulent wave boundary layer using k-ε model. The paper recommends brief flow simulation and mainly introduced the simulation of the sediment concentration. The paper use the eddy-viscosity value which calculation by the mathematical model and the model of You Zaijin on time-invariant eddy-viscosity into the relationship about sediment diffusion coefficient and eddy-viscosity to calculate the sediment concentration. The calculation results turns out the way that use the eddy-viscosity value which calculation by the mathematical model into the relationship can obtain better timely sediment concentration value. When use the model simulates the time-invariant sediment concentration, the two ways have not many distinctions. It means the way that that use the eddy-viscosity value which calculation by the mathematical model into the relationship is feasible.

This paper describes a methodology and a fully tested and calibrated mathematical model for the treatment of endwall effects in axial compressor aerodynamic calculations. Additional losses and deviations caused by the clearance and secondary flows are analyzed. These effects are coupled with endwall boundary layer losses and blockage development. Stall/surge detection is included and mutual interaction of different loss mechanisms is considered. Individual mathematical correlations for different effects have been created or adopted from earlier papers with the aim of forming one integral model that is completely described in this paper. Separate mathematical correlations and calibration measures are discussed in detail in the first part of the paper. The developed overall model is suitable for application in two-dimensional or mean-line compressor flow calculations. During the development, it was tested, calibrated and validated using throughflow calculations comparing numerical results with experimental data for a large number of test cases. These test cases include compressors with very different configurations and operating ranges. The data on the compressors were taken from the open literature or obtained from industrial partners.

This paper describes a methodology and a fully tested and calibrated mathematical model for the treatment of endwall effects in axial compressor aerodynamic calculations. Additional losses and deviations caused by the clearance and secondary flows are analyzed. These effects are coupled with endwall boundary layer losses (EWBL) and blockage development. Stall/surge detection is included, and mutual interaction of different loss mechanisms is considered. Individual mathematical correlations for different effects have been created or adopted from earlier papers with the aim of forming one integral model that is completely described in this paper. Separate mathematical correlations and calibration measures are discussed in detail in the first part of the paper. The developed overall model is suitable for application in two-dimensional (2D) or mean-line compressor flow calculations. During the development, it was tested, calibrated, and validated using throughflow calculations comparing numerical results with experimental data for a large number of test cases. These test cases include compressors with very different configurations and operating ranges. The data on the compressors were taken from the open literature or obtained from industrial partners.

A solution is presented for predicting the upstream separation point in a two-dimensional channel flow in which an obstacle is present. The paper considers only the separation of a laminar boundary layer but could also be applied to the turbulent boundary-layer case. The mathematical model considers free-streamline theory to get the pressure distribution ahead of separation. Go¨rtler’s series solution and Witting’s finite-difference method are then used to predict separation. The theory is checked experimentally.

Abstract Subcooled boiling of water in a vertical pipe is numerically investigated. The mathematical model involves solution of transport equations for vapor and liquid phase separately. Turbulence model considers the turbulence production and dissipation by the motion of the bubbles. The radial and axial void fractions, temperature and velocity profiles in the pipe are calculated. The estimated results are compared to experimental data available in the literature. It is found that while present study satisfactorily agrees with experimental data in the literature, it improves the prediction at lower void fractions.

This paper describes the aerohydrodvnamics of processes in chambers of Gorlov's hydro-pneumatic power system. The mathematical model is developed to determine the main parameters of the processes: water and air velocities, air pressure in the chamber, the periods of time required to fill and empty the chambers and the output of energy during the cycle. The results obtained are in agreement with experimental data and model tests.

The sheave installation method (SIM) is an effective and non-conventional method to solve the installation of subsea equipment in deep water (>1000m), which has been developed to deploy the 175t Roncador Manifold I into 1,885 meters water depth in 2002. With the weight increment of subsea cluster manifold, how to solve its installation with the high reliability in the deep sea is still a great challenge. In this paper, the installation of the 300t subsea cluster manifold using the SIM is studied in the two-dimensional coordinate system. The mathematical model is established and the lumped mass method is used to calculate the hydrodynamic forces of the wireropes. Taking into account the complex environment loads, the numerical simulation of the lowering process is carried out by OrcaFlex. The displacement and vibration of the subsea cluster manifold in the z-axis direction and the effective tension at the top of the wireropes can be gotten, which can provide guidance for the installation of the cluster manifold in the South China Sea.

The use of the waste of the Bayer process, red mud, is due to its chemical and mineralogical composition that shows a material rich in oxides of iron, titanium and aluminum. Some studies conducted show that this waste can be applied as a source of alternative raw material for concentration and subsequent recovery of titanium compounds from an iron leaching process, which is present in higher amounts, about 30% by weight. To obtain a greater understanding about the leaching kinetics, the information of the kinetic data of this process is very important. In this context, the main objective of this work is the development of a mathematical model that is able to fit the experimental data (conversion / extraction iron, titanium and aluminum) of the leaching process by which is possible to obtain the main kinetic parameters such as the activation energy and the velocity of chemical reactions as well as the controlling step of the process. The development of the mathematical model was based on the model of core decreasing. The obtained model system of ordinary differential equations was able to fit the experimental data obtained from the leaching process, enabling the determination of the controlling step, the rate constants and the activation energies of the leaching process.

In this paper, an attempt has been made to predict the performance of a planing catamaran using a mathematical model. Catamarans subjected to a common hydrodynamic lift, have an extra lift between the two asymmetric half bodies. In order to develop a mathematical model for performance prediction of planing catamarans, existing formulas for hydrodynamic lift calculation must be modified. Existing empirical and semi-empirical equations in the literature have been implemented and compared against available experimental data. Evaluation of lift in comparison with experimental data has been documented. Parameters influencing the interaction between demi-hulls and separation effects have been analyzed. The mathematical model for planing catamarans has been developed based on Savitsky’s method and results have been compared against experimental data. Finally, the effects of variation in hull geometry such as deadrise angle and distance between two half bodies on equilibrium trim angle, resistance and wetted surface have been examined.
