The methodology used in this paper depends on collecting data from the last studies, studying the analyzed airfoil models, and constructing an analytical model to show the aerodynamic effects on NACA 4412 and NERL S823 airfoils, and find the total solution. A comparison between NACA 4412 airfoil and NREL'S S823 is presented. It was found that the lift coefficient for NACA 4412 values is higher than that of NREL S823 airfoil but for NACA 4412 such values are decreasing as the angle of attack (AoA) is increasing till 8ᵒ of AoA after that Cl values are increasing slightly. In contrast, for NREL S823 airfoil the values of lift coefficient (Cl) are increasing with AoA till 8ᵒ after that they become constant or slightly decreasing, while for drag coefficient, it can be noticed that values of drag coefficient (Cd) for NACA 4412 are lower than that of NREL S823 airfoils and for all values of angle of attack, also values for both airfoils are decreasing with AoA till 8° and then slightly increased.","PeriodicalId":39418,"journal":{"name":"WSEAS Transactions on Fluid Mechanics","volume":"45 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140752096","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}

With the use of appropriate parameters, such as the relaxation time parameter, Prandtl number, radiation parameter, magnetic parameter, and so on, the normalized shear stress at the wall, temperature profile, and rate of heat flux may be examined. This issue has numerous industrial applications and technical procedures, such as the extrusion of rubber sheets and the manufacture of glass fiber.

The fluid under investigation is presumed to be incompressible, electrically conductive, and radiating with the additional influence of a homogeneous magnetic field applied perpendicular to the channel’s plane. Analytical closedform solutions are derived for the momentum, energy, and concentration equations providing a comprehensive understanding of the system’s behavior. The investigation systematically explores the impact of various flow factors, presenting their effects through graphical representations. The governing partial differential equations (PDE) of the boundary layer are transformed into a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODE) using a closed-form method. Subsequently, an artificial neural network (ANN) is applied to these ODEs, and the obtained results are validated against numerical simulations. The temperature profiles exhibit oscillatory behavior with changes in the radiation parameter (N), revealing insights into the system’s dynamic response. Furthermore, the paper uncovers that higher heat sources lead to increased temperature profiles. Additionally, concentration profiles demonstrate a decrease with escalating chemical reaction parameters, with a reversal observed as the Schmidt number (Sc) increases. This study highlights the efficacy of an ANN model in providing highly efficient estimates for heat transfer rates from an engineering standpoint. This innovative approach leverages the power of artificial intelligence to enhance our understanding of complex fluid magnetohydrodynamics and porous media flows.","PeriodicalId":39418,"journal":{"name":"WSEAS Transactions on Fluid Mechanics","volume":"29 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140752700","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}

The numerical modeling is conducted with the use of the finite-element method in Lagrange variables. The mathematical model of the process is described by the equation of motion, continuity, and natural boundary conditions on the free surface. To exclude the ity of viscous stresses in the mathematical model on three-phase contact lines (TPCL) there was suggested a gridded model of gliding that takes into consideration peculiarities of dissipative processes in the neighborhood of TPCL at the microlevel. To reduce oscillations of pressure in the neighborhood of TPCL, a finite element is used. The suggested method allows for natural monitoring of free surface and TPCL with an unconventional model for dynamic contact micro-angle. A stable convergent algorithm is suggested that is not dependent on the grid step size and that is tested through the example of a three-dimensional semispherical drop and a drop in the form of a cube. The investigations obtained are compared to well-known experimental and analytical results demonstrating a high efficiency of the suggested model of TPCL dynamics at small values of capillary number.","PeriodicalId":39418,"journal":{"name":"WSEAS Transactions on Fluid Mechanics","volume":"17 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139603883","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}
