However, FEM is not as popular as the finite volume method (FVM) in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), possibly due to its complicated numerical procedures. Indeed, FEM possesses tremendous advantages compared with FVM, particularly in dealing with complex geometry and rendering attractive flexibility to modify the interpolation functions. It is well-known that FEM and FVM differ in mathematical formulation, yet there is a lack of practical comparison between them. Therefore, the paper aims to develop a Galerkin FEM (GFEM) model, investigate its strengths and weaknesses compared with FVM, and discuss the conciliation between FEM and FVM. Our case study focuses on a two-dimensional diffusion problem comprising steady and transient cases, with and without heat generation. Our investigation revealed that GFEM does not possess conservative properties, which might yield spurious heat flux, leading to a 2 – 4% overestimation of the temperature field, depending on the amount of heat generation. Moreover, GFEM incurs approximately 34% higher computational time than FVM. However, FVM can be perceived as a special form of GFEM, and their relations were discussed.","PeriodicalId":119773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Numerical Heat Transfer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139610234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerical analysis was performed using ANSYS FLUENT R21 to evaluate the thermal performance of the proposed designs. For the element optimization, the grid independency test analysis was performed to obtain the optimal number of elements. A constant heat flux of 18750 W/m2 was applied at the bottom plate of heat sinks as the input parameter and two different flow directions e.g., impinging flow and parallel flow at various mass flow rate was also applied to study the base temperature, thermal resistance and Nusselt number of these designs. The study has shown that plate-fin heat sinks with fillet profile and corrugated half-round pins (PFHS 4) subject to parallel flow and plate-fin heat sinks with fillet profile and symmetrical half-round pins (PFHS 3) subject to impinging flow exhibit better thermal performance over other configurations.

The enhanced thermal behavior of nanofluids could supply a basis for a huge innovation in heat transfer intensification. Recently, a new type of nanofluid, known as hybrid nanofluid, which consists of a mixture of two different nanoparticles suspended in the base fluid like water. The present study deals with the analysis of laminar mixed convection heat transfer in horizontal annuli using hybrid nanofluid with the thermal boundary condition of constant heat flux at the inner wall and isothermal outer wall. The SIMPLER numerical algorithm is adopted in the present study. The hybrid nanofluid consists of water as base fluid and Ag-TiO2 as nanoparticles. The ratio of Ag to TiO2 is maintained as 1:3. Main objective of the present study is to compute numerically three-dimensional axis-symmetric, incompressible, steady, laminar flow through annular ducts to investigate the effect of the hybrid nanofluid Ag-TiO2/water on thermal-hydrodynamic characteristics. The analysis reveals that secondary flow due to the buoyancy forces plays an important role in augmenting heat transfer. The development of axial flow and temperature field are strongly found to be influenced by buoyancy. Nusselt number near the entrance region is found to be maximum, then attains a minimum value at a location slightly away from the entrance, and then starts increasing slowly due to the increased buoyancy effects. Finally, the flow becomes almost stable and a nearly constant value of Nusselt number is observed as the flow approaches fully development situation. At a given axial location Nusselt number was found to increase with increasing volumetric concentration of nanoparticle. The effect of Gr Radius ratio on the Nusselt number was also studied","PeriodicalId":119773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Numerical Heat Transfer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125891348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the aims are to determine the water impact characteristics and response of the proposed seaplane float by implementing the water entry case, calm water landing, and when landing in the periodic waves condition. The numerical model was developed using DualSPHysics based on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic to obtain more realistic and accurate prediction of the pressure, velocity fields, and water spray motion with droplets in complex shape of the float.

Modelling works are needed to optimize operating conditions for SWCNT growth but are unavailable. Therefore, a baseline model for the aerosol-catalyst system in flames is developed and the effect of oxygen on SWCNT growth is investigated. A baseline flame model for a normal diffusion flame with 24% oxygen concentration at the inlet is established via Computational Fluid Dynamic simulation. A dispersed phase model (DPM) is employed to simulate the entrainment of catalyst particles. The flame model is coupled with a published CNT growth rate model to predict the CNT growth rate at each particle. Inlet oxygen concentration is varied from 19% to 27% to study the effect of oxygen on SWCNT growth. Satisfactory validation of the baseline flame shape and temperature is established. Results show that particle 3 for the baseline case yields the highest CNT length compared to other particles due to the suitable path for the synthesis. The particles are classified based on the shortest time residence, moderate and longest time residence. Increasing oxygen concentration from 19% to 27% results in a 30% decrease in CNT length for particle 3 for each inlet condition due to lower carbon precursor and composition in the flame. Furthermore, the results showed that regardless of burner operating conditions, high SWCNT growth is consistently predicted between 120-140 mm HAB, which indicates the existence of an optimum range of species concentration for SWCNT growth in aerosol-based flame synthesis. Thus, it can be inferred that SWCNT growth in the aerosol–based method is highly dependent on carbon source and moderately dependent on temperature","PeriodicalId":119773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Numerical Heat Transfer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126475131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A study has been conducted on how body acceleration and slip velocity disturb the dispersion of a solute in blood flow. With the increase of slip velocity and body acceleration, blood velocity increases. The impact of body acceleration on blood flow is to increase flow rate while lowering resistance to flow.

In the infection stage, the sinuses located in the nasal cavity tend to exhibit particularly high virus concentrations. Therefore, it is important to evaluate quantitatively the areas where viruses are likely to be adhered in the nasal cavity including sinuses. In this study, by CFD including concentration analysis the areas where viruses are likely to be adhered in the nasal cavity are predicted. As for the methods, the nasal cavity was made from 2D-CT image data by Itk-SNAP. For this computation in the nasal cavity continuity equation, Navier-Stokes equation and transport equation are used. And the transport of concentration was computed in the divided 4 parts of nasal cavity. As a result, it was found that the ratio of the concentration to the initial concentration in Ethmoid Sinus is approximately 0.6.
