A micronozzle was applied in nanoparticle deposition system (NPDS) for supersonic deposition. To determine whether suitable behavior of supersonic fluid can be produced or not, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) flow analysis was used. Ni particles were successfully deposited using the fabricated micronozzle in NPDS at room temperature. It was found that shorter micronozzle with larger side profile deposits wide and thick film compared to the deposition using long micronozzle with smaller side profile. These experimental results agree with the simulation results.

Abstract: Spoilers have been there in practice since years for the purpose of improving aerodynamics of a car. The pressure drag created at the end of the vehicle, referred to as wake region affects handling of the vehicle. This could be hazardous for the cars at high speeds. By adding a spoiler to the rear of the car reduces that pressure drag and the enhanced downforce helps in better traction. The paper presents aerodynamic analysis of a spoiler through Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis. The spoiler is designed using Onshape software and analyzed through SIMSCALE software. The simulation is carried out by changing angles of attack and velocities. The simulation results of downforce and drag are compared on the basis of analytical method. Keywords: Designing a spoiler, Design and analysis of spoiler, Aerodynamics of spoiler, Aerodynamic analysis of spoiler, Computational fluid dynamics, CFD analysis, CFD analysis of spoiler, Spoiler at variable angles, Types of spoilers, Analytical aerodynamic analysis.

The computational fluid dynamics analysis of a small vertical axis wind turbine with ball-shaped blades has been done in this paper. First, a three-dimensioned model of the wind turbine with the ball-shaped blades has been constructed by using the software of FLUENT 6.3. Then, by giving the size parameters and shape parameters of the blades, the simulation has been done and the corresponding simulation results have been obtained. The contuours of static pressure around the wind blade area has been shown. The simulated model and the results can be used for finding the factors which will affect the power efficiency of this type of wind turbine in the future. Finally, the simulation results of the blade with zero curvature radius and curvature radius of 2 are shown and compared in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of this computational fluid dynamics analysis method. It can be concluded that the blades with curvature of 2 can obtain more toruqe comparing with the zero one and it would be the more suitable option in the blade design.

This article presents a complementary experimental and computational investigation of the effect of viscosity and flowrate on the dynamics of drop formation in the dripping mode. In contrast to previous studies, numerical simulations are performed with two popular commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) packages, CFX and FLOW-3D, both of which employ the volume of fluid (VOF) method. Comparison with previously published experimental and computational data and new experimental results reported here highlight the capabilities and limitations of the aforementioned packages.

This paper deals with the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to the turbulent analysis of the Wells Turbine. The objectives of this work were twofold; firstly to develop and benchmark the 3D CFD model and then to use this model to analyse the airflow through the turbine. The model was analysed as fully turbulent compressible flow using the Fluent™ CFD code. The computational model was first benchmarked against previously published experimental and CFD data for two similar turbines. The computational model accurately predicted the non-dimensional torque and non-dimensional pressure drop, while the efficiency predictions were lower than the experimental results. Predicted location of turbine stall also corresponded well with experimental results. Potential causes for differences between the computational and experimental results are suggested. The computational model was then analysed at both high and low tip Mach number settings and also with and without the tip gap, and these results were discussed.
