Double Diffusive

This work presents a study on double-diffusive free convection in a porous square cavity using the thermal equilibrium model. Transport equations are discretized using the control-volume method, and the system of algebraic equations is relaxed via the SIMPLE algorithm. The effect of ks/kf on average Nusselt and Sherwood values was investigated. Results show that increasing ks/kf affects Nuw and Shw boosting mass transfer at the expense of reducing overall heat transport across the enclosure.

This paper considers the issues of numerical modeling of nonstationary spatial gas dynamics in the pre-nozzle volume of the combustion chamber of a power plant with a cylindrical slot channel at the power plant of the mass supply surface. The numerical simulation for spatial objects is based on the solution conjugate problem of heat exchange by the control volume method in the open integrated platform for numerical simulation of continuum mechanics problems (openFoam). The calculation results for gas-dynamic and thermal processes in the power plant with a four-nozzle cover are presented. The analysis of gas-dynamic parameters and thermal flows near the nozzle cover, depending on the canal geometry, is given. The topological features of the flow structure and thermophysical parameters near the nozzle cap were studied. For the first time, the transformation of topological features of the flow structure in the pre-nozzle volume at changes in the mass channel’s geometry is revealed, described, and analyzed. The dependence of the Nusselt number in the central point of stagnation on the time of the power plants operation is revealed.

In this paper, new forms of Maxwell’s equations in vector and scalar variants are presented. The new forms are based on the use of Gauss’s theorem for magnetic induction and electrical induction. The equations are formulated in both differential and integral forms. In particular, the new forms of the equations relate to the non-stationary expressions and their integral identities. The indicated methodology enables a thorough analysis of non-stationary boundary conditions on the behavior of electromagnetic fields in multiple continuous regions. It can be used both for qualitative analysis and in numerical methods (control volume method) and optimization. The last Section introduces an application to equations of magnetic fluid in both differential and integral forms.

The three-dimensional numerical study of natural convection in a cubical enclosure, discretely heated, was carried out in this study. Two heating square sections, similar to the integrated electronic components, are placed on the vertical wall of the enclosure. The imposed heating fluxes vary sinusoidally with time, in phase and in opposition of phase. The temperature of the opposite vertical wall is maintained at a cold uniform temperature and the other walls are adiabatic. The governing equations are solved using Control volume method by SIMPLEC algorithm. The sections dimension ε = D / H and the Rayleigh number Ra were fixed respectively at 0,35 and 106. The average heat transfer and the maximum temperature on the active portions will be examined for a given set of the governing parameters, namely the amplitude of the variable temperatures a and their period τp. The obtained results show significant changes in terms of heat transfer, by proper choice of the heating mode and the governing parameters.
