AbstractIn this article, the three-dimensional (3D) flow and heat transport of viscous dissipating Cu-H2O nanoliquid over an elongated plate in a rotating frame of reference is studied by considering the modified Buongiorno model. The mechanisms of haphazard motion and thermo-migration of nanoparticles along with effective nanoliquid properties are comprised in the modified Buongiorno model (MBM). The Rosseland radiative heat flux and prescribed heat flux at the boundary are accounted. The governing nonlinear problem subjected to Prandtl’s boundary layer approximation is solved numerically. The consequence of dimensionless parameters on the velocities, temperature, and nanoparticles volume fraction profiles is analyzed via graphical representations. The temperature of the base liquid is improved significantly owing to the existence of copper nanoparticles in it. The phenomenon of rotation improves the structure of the thermal boundary layer, while, the momentum layer thickness gets reduced. The thermal layer structure gets enhanced due to the Brownian movement and thermo-migration of nanoparticles. Moreover, it is shown that temperature enhances owing to the presence of thermal radiation. In addition, it is revealed that the haphazard motion of nanoparticles decays the nanoparticle volume fraction layer thickness. Also, the skin friction coefficients found to have a similar trend for larger values of rotation parameter. Furthermore, the results of the single-phase nanoliquid model are limiting the case of this study.

The three dimensional free convection boundary layer flow near a stagnation point region is embedded in viscous nanofluid with the effect of g-jitter is studied in this paper. Copper (Cu) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) types of water base nanofluid are cho- sen with the constant Prandtl number, Pr=6.2. Based on Tiwari-Das nanofluid model, the boundary layer equation used is converted into a non-dimensional form by adopting non- dimensional variables and is solved numerically by engaging an implicit finite-difference scheme known as Keller-box method. Behaviors of fluid flow such as skin friction and Nusset number are studied by the controlled parameters including oscillation frequency, amplitude of gravity modulation and nanoparticles volume fraction. The reduced skin friction and Nusset number are presented graphically and discussed for different values of principal curvatures ratio at the nodal point. The numerical results shows that, in- crement occurs in the values of Nusset number with the presence of solid nanoparticles together with the values of the skin friction. It is worth mentioning that for the plane stagnation point there is an absence of reduced skin friction along the y-direction where as for axisymmetric stagnation point, the reduced skin friction for both directions are the same. As nanoparticles volume fraction increased, the skin friction increased as well as the Nusset number. The results, indicated that skin frictions of copper are found higher than aluminium oxide.

AbstractLeads are a key feature of the Arctic ice pack during the winter owing to their substantial contribution to the surface energy balance. According to the present understanding, enhanced heat and moisture fluxes from high lead concentrations tend to produce more boundary layer clouds. However, described here in our composite analyses of diverse surface- and satellite-based observations, we find that abundant boundary layer clouds are associated with low lead flux periods, while fewer boundary layer clouds are observed for high lead flux periods. Motivated by these counterintuitive results, we conducted three-dimensional cloud-resolving simulations to investigate the underlying physics. We find that newly frozen leads with large sensible heat flux but low latent heat flux tend to dissipate low clouds. This finding indicates that the observed high lead fractions likely consist of mostly newly frozen leads that reduce any pre-existing low-level cloudiness, which in turn decreases downwelling infrared flux and accelerates the freezing of sea ice.

Roughness Elements

In this article, the results of research about stationary and secondary disturbances development behind the localized and two-dimensional roughness elements are presented. It is shown that the two-dimensional roughness element has a destabilizing effect on the disturbances induced by the three-dimensional roughness element lying upstream. In this case, the two-dimensional roughness element causes the appearance of stationary structures, and then secondary perturbations, whose frequency range lies lower than in the case of the stationary vortices excited by a three-dimensional roughness element.

The paper presents the results of three dimensional flow measurements behind the trailing edges of an impulse turbine blade row of 120° deflection in an annular cascade. The entry boundary layer thickness was systematically varied on the hub and casing walls separately and its effect on secondary flows and losses is investigated. With the increase of entry boundary layer thickness, it has been found that (i) the contours of local loss coefficient show that the magnitude of the hub loss core increased, (ii) the loss cores near the hub and casing wall are convected away from the walls, (iii) the spanwise variation of the pitchwise averaged losses indicate that the position of large loss peak near the hub wall remains the same, but the magnitude of the loss increases, (iv) the exit static pressure increases and the exit velocity in general decreases, (v) the degree of underturning of flow increases and (vi) the net secondary losses do not change appreciably.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Due to large amounts of heat flux developed in electronic devices, it is essential to propose and investigate effective mechanisms of cooling them. Although microchannels filled with flowing coolant are a geometry often met in such devices, new techniques need to be developed in order to increase their effectiveness. Recent studies on nanofluids, i.e. mixtures of nanometer size particles well-dispersed in a base fluid, have demonstrated their potential for augmenting heat transfer. In the present work the 2D steady state laminar flow of different nanofluids along a microchannel is examined. It is considered that the microchannel walls receive uniform and constant heat flux. The problem’s modelling has as parameters the volume fraction of nanoparticles ranging from 0 to 5% and Reynolds number varying between 50 and 500. The results of the problem’s numerical solution are used to calculate the heat transfer coefficient, the pressure drop along the microchannel and the destroyed exergy. It is found that heat transfer is enhanced due to the presence of nanoparticles. On the contrary, pressure drops faster due to nanofluids increased viscosity leading to more pump power needed. Finally, further exergy destruction is observed when nanoparticles volume fraction increases.

Good Agreement

Mean temperature and heat flux distributions in a thermal layer that develops within a momentum boundary layer subjected to a step change in surface temperature are calculated using two different methods. The method of Bradshaw and Unsworth, which uses the method of Bradshaw, Ferriss and Atwell to determine the mean velocity and Reynolds shear stress distributions and then assumes a constant turbulent Prandtl number for the heat flux calculation, yields heat flux distributions that are significantly different than the available experimental results at small distances from the step. Good agreement between calculations and experimental values is achieved when the distance x from the step is about 20 δ0, where δ0 is the boundary layer thickness at the step. To obtain good agreement with measurements of heat flux and mean temperature near the step, estimated distributions of turbulent viscosity and effective Prandtl number have been derived using an iterative updating procedure and the calculation method of Patankar and Spalding. These distributions are compared with those available in the literature. Calculated heat flux distributions show that the internal thermal layer is only likely to reach self-preserving conditions when x exceeds 40 δ0.

Buongiorno Model

Purpose The purpose of the present study is to explore a three-dimensional rotating flow of water-based nanofluids caused by an infinite rotating disk. Design/methodology/approach Mathematical formulation is performed using the well-known Buongiorno model which accounts for the combined influence of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. The recently suggested condition of passively controlled wall nanoparticle volume fraction has been adopted. Findings The results reveal that temperature decreases with an increase in thermophoresis parameter, whereas it is negligibly affected with a variation in the Brownian motion parameter. Axial velocity is negative because of the downward flow in the vertical direction. Originality/value Two- and three-dimensional streamlines are also sketched and discussed. The computations are found to be in very good agreement with the those of existing studies in the literature for pure fluid.
