Alternative designs towards thermal optimization of coated valves using space‐time finite elements

Uzi Zrahia, Pinhas Bar‐ Yoseph

Heat transfer and stress analysis in metallic and coated exhaust valvesare performed by an adaptive space‐time finite element method. Resultsindicated that coatings of ordinary…

Numerical investigation of the combined effect of swirler and primary jets on the recirculation zone of a can‐type combustor by means of an orthogonal array technique

R. Gopinath, V. Ganesan

An orthogonal array technique is used in the present work toinvestigate, numerically, the effects of the swirler and the primary jets onthe characteristics of the recirculation…

Heat transfer in differentially heated non‐newtonian cavities

K.A. Pericleous

The flow development and heat transfer in a differentially heated cavitycontaining a non‐Newtonian fluid is studied using CFD techniques.Investigations are made for a fluid…

Flow calculation in a loop‐scavenged two‐stroke motored engine

Y.‐Y. Tsui, H.‐P. Cheng

A multidimensional calculation method is used to investigate the flow ina motored two‐stroke engine. The governing equations are written in amoving‐coordinate system such that the…

A multiphase formulation for two phase flows

E. Daniel, R. Saurel, M. Larini, J.C. Loraud

This paper investigates the multi‐phase behaviour of dropletsinjected into a nozzle at two separate wall locations. The physical featuresof the droplets (rate of mass, density and…
