Laminar forced convection heat transfer from a cylinder covered with an orthotropic porous layer in cross‐flow

Bassam A/K Abu‐Hijleh

The problem of laminar cross‐flow forced convection heat transfer from a horizontal cylinder covered with an orthotropic porous layer was investigated numerically. The effects of…

Numerical simulation of transient vaporous and gaseous cavitation in pipelines

Mohand Kessal, Mustapha Amaouche

The transient vaporous and gaseous cavitation phenomena in an elastic pipeline are investigated for homogeneous liquid‐gas mixture flow. It has been shown, in the case of two…

Computation of flow and heat transfer in two‐dimensional rib‐roughened passages, using low‐Reynolds‐number turbulence models

H. Iacovides, M. Raisee

Low‐Re turbulence models are used in the computation of convective heat transfer in two‐dimensional ribbed passages. The cases computed include ribbed annular channels, pipes and…

Modelling of transport phenomena in laser welding of dissimilar metals

G. Phanikumar, K. Chattopadhyay, Pradip Dutta

The transport phenomena (heat transfer, fluid flow and species distribution) are numerically modelled for the case of laser welding of dissimilar metals. The model involves…

h‐adaptive finite element solution of unsteady thermally driven cavity problem

David A. Mayne, Asif S. Usmani, Martin Crapper

An h‐adaptive finite element code for solving coupled Navier‐Stokes and energy equations is used to solve the thermally driven cavity problem for Rayleigh numbers at which no…
