Convective-pressure flux split algorithm for incompressible flow computation using artificial compressibility formulation
Shainath Ramesh Kalamkar, Jadav Chandra MandalThe purpose of this paper is to present two low diffusive convective-pressure flux split finite volume algorithms for solving incompressible flows in artificial compressibility…
New numerical treatment of source term in convective transfer of heat between fluid and porous solid matrix
Jiří Hájek, Tomáš Juřena– The purpose of this paper is to report a novel formulation of convective heat transfer source term for the case of flow through porous medium.
Best practice for measuring grid convergence in numerical models of alloy solidification
Igor Vušanović, Vaughan R VollerWhen a multi component alloy solidifies the redistribution of solute components leads to the formation of macrosegregation patterns. Blending ideas from a number of recent…
Steady state and transient analysis of compact plate-fin heat exchanger fins for generation of design data using CFD
Ranganayakulu ChennuThe purpose of this paper is to carry out numerical modeling of single-blow transient analysis using FLUENT porous media model for estimation of heat transfer and pressure drop…
Investigation of thermal damage of tissues embedded with large blood vessels during plasmonic photo-thermal heating (PPTH)
Anup Paul, Arunn Narasimhan, Sarit Kumar DasThe large blood vessels (LBV) would act as a heat sink and hence play a significant role during photo-thermal therapy. Gold nanoshell was considered as a high-heat absorbing agent…
Effects of ligaments shape on radiative heat transfer in metal foams
Salvatore Cunsolo, Dominique Baillis, Nicola Bianco, Vincenzo Naso, Maria OlivieroThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of ligament shape on radiative behavior, with a specific focus on the inter-dependence among porosity, ligament shape and…
Second-law design of a latent heat thermal energy storage with branched fins
Adriano Sciacovelli, Vittorio VerdaThe purpose of this paper is to investigate efficient designs of a shell-and-tube latent thermal energy storage system through an approach based on the analysis of entropy…
Immersed boundary methods for heat transfer
Claudio Santarelli, Tobias Kempe, Jochen FröhlichThe purpose of this paper is to present two different methods for the imposition of thermal boundary conditions (BCs) in the framework of two-phase flows: an immersed boundary…
Biomass furnace study via 3D numerical modeling
Stefano Cordiner, Alessandro Manni, Vincenzo Mulone, Vittorio RoccoIn the recent years the interest toward the use of biomass as a fuel for energy conversion, along with the continuous tightening of regulations, has driven the improvement of…
Computational investigation on thermal responses of blood vessels during laser treatment of port wine stain
Dong Li, Bin Chen, Guo-Xiang WangThe purpose of this paper is to present a numerical analysis of the laser surgery of port wine stain (PWS) with cryogen spray cooling to compare the treatment effect between pulse…
A dual time stepping approach to eliminate first order error in fractional step methods for incompressible flows
Rhodri LT Bevan, P NithiarasuIn the present work, a novel dual time stepping approach is applied to a quasi-implicit (QI) fractional step method and its performance is assessed against the classical versions…
Computational modelling of neonate’s brain cooling
Joanna E. Laszczyk, Andrzej J NowakThe purpose of this paper is to present the computational model of the neonate’s brain cooling process. The main aim of the analysis is to tune the developed computational model…
