The integration scheme is proposed in this paper to solve linear deformation and stresses for elastic bodies. The discretized equations are of the finite difference type such that all of the advantages in the use of a finite difference scheme are preserved. In addition, the boundary traction can be easily converted into Dirichlet boundary condition for the displacement equations without recourse to fictitious points. Three examples are illustrated in this study to examine the performances of the integration scheme. In the case of thermal loading, the integration scheme is seen to provide solution with six-place accuracy while the finite element and the boundary element solutions possess only two- to three-place accuracy at essentially the same number of grid points. A similar situation is believed to exist also in the case of pure mechanical loading, although no exact solution is available for comparison. For a square bimaterial under a thermal loading without boundary traction, the integration scheme is found to successfully predict the existence of the interface zone. Due to its simplicity and efficiency, the integration scheme is expected to have good performance for solid mechanical problems, especially when coupled with heat transfer and fluid flow inside and outside the solid.

The present paper outlines a practical methodology for improved virtual prototyping, using as an example, the recently re-engineered, internally-cooled 1st stage blade of a 40 MW industrial gas turbine. Using the full 3-D CAD model of the blade, a CFD simulation that includes the hot gas flow around the blade, conjugate heat transfer from the fluid to the solid at the blade surface, heat conduction through the solid, and the coolant flow in the plenum is performed. The pressure losses through and heat transfer to the cooling channels inside the airfoil are captured with a 1-D code and the 1-D results are linked to the three-dimensional CFD analysis. The resultant three-dimensional temperature distribution through the blade provides the required thermal loading for the subsequent structural finite element analysis. The results of this analysis include the thermo-mechanical stress distribution, which is the basis for blade life assessment.

Analytical models for both unlooped and looped Pulsating Heat Pipes (PHPs) with multiple liquid slugs and vapor plugs are presented in this study. The governing equations are solved using an explicit finite difference scheme to predict the behavior of vapor plugs and liquid slugs. The results show that the effect of gravity on the performance of top heat mode unlooped PHP is insignificant. The effects of diameter, charge ratio, and heating wall temperature on the performance of looped and unlooped PHPs are also investigated. The results also show that heat transfer in both looped and unlooped PHPs is due mainly to the exchange of sensible heat.

The LES method was applied to analyze numerically an unsteady turbulent separated and reattached flow and heat transfer in a symmetric expansion plane channel of expansion ratio 2.0. The Smagorinsky model was used in the analysis and fundamental equations were discretized by means of the finite difference method, and their resulting finite difference equations were solved using the SMAC method. The calculations were conducted for Re=15,000. It is found that the present numerical results, in general, agree well with the previous experimental ones. The complicated vortical flow structures in the channel and their correlations with heat transfer characteristics are visualized through various fields of flow quantities.
