Numerical simulation of the performance of a vortex controlled diffuser in low Reynolds number regime

S. Chakrabarti, S. Ray, A. Sarkar

In this paper, the performance simulation of a vortex controlled diffuser (VCD) has been carried out in low Reynolds number regime. The two‐dimensional steady differential…

A numerical study of the similarity of fully developed turbulent flows in orthogonally rotating square ducts and stationary curved square ducts

Gong Hee Lee, Je Hyun Baek

A numerical study of a quantitative analogy of fully developed turbulent flow in a straight square duct rotating about an axis perpendicular to that of the duct and a stationary…

Numerical study of fluid flow through double bell‐shaped constrictions in a tube

T.S. Lee

The effects of steady fluid flow through double bell‐shaped constrictions in tubes were investigated numerically for the Reynolds number range of 5 to 400. The double…

Natural convection flow along a vertical circular cone with uniform surface temperature and surface heat flux in a thermally stratified medium

M.A. Hossain, S.C. Paul, A.C. Mandal

The problem of laminar natural convection from a vertical circular cone maintained at either a uniform surface temperature or a uniform surface heat flux, and placed in a…

Analysis of à‐posteriori error indicator in viscous flows

D.H. Wu, I.G. Currie

An à‐posteriori error indicator for solving viscous incompressible flow problems is analyzed in this paper. The indicator named “velocity angle error estimator” is based on the…
