In this paper, we attend to investigate the steady flow of a Newtonian fluid through a sine-curved channel working with the least-square technique of Galerkin’s approach. We implement the whole simulation using Comsol Multiphysics 5.4. To study the fluid flow through this channel, we take the Reynolds numbers in the range from 1000 to 10,000 and amplitude of the sine-curved channel in the range from 10 cm to 30 cm. We examine the flow rate and pressure at the outlet. It is observed that, at the outlet, maximum speed is increasing linearly along the Reynolds number and that the maximum pressure settled a negative relationship with the Reynolds number when increased. It is also determined that due to an increase in the hydraulic jumps, when increasing the amplitude of vibration of the channel, the velocity of flow got fluctuated at the above walls, which also results in a decline in the pressure from the inlet to exit of the channel. Moreover, the several correlations keeping amplitude as constant have been developed for the maximum flow velocity magnitude at the exit of the channel relating to the Reynolds number. These correlations will be definitely used for the future production and comparison for the fluid flow for the curvy channel.

This article aims to study Newtonian fluid flow modeling and simulation through a rectangular channel embedded in a semicircular cylinder with the range of Reynolds number from 100 to 1500. The fluid is considered as laminar and Newtonian, and the problem is time independent. A numerical procedure of finite element’s least Square technique is implemented through COMSOL multiphysics 5.4. The problem is validated through asymptotic solution governed through the screen boundary condition. The vortex length of the recirculating region formed at the back of the cylinder and orientation of velocity field and pressure will be discussed by three horizontal and four vertical lines along the recirculating region in terms of Reynolds number. It was found that the two vortices of unequal size have appeared and the lengths of these vortices are increased with the increase Reynolds number. Also, the empirical equations through the linear regression procedure were determined for those vortices. The orientation of the velocity magnitude as well as pressure along the lines passing through the center of upper and lower vortices are the same.

The Impact

In the contemporary research article we have performed a numerical investigation of the non-Newtonian fluid flow through a rectangular channel with a fixed solid screen devoted at the angles 100 to 450 degrees. We have employed the power-law model for shear thickening and shear thinning fluids with the high Reynolds number between 1000 and 10,000. The obstacle has been solved by putting in the Galerkin’s least square strategy of the finite element method and the procedure has been carried out utilizing the commercial software COMSOL Multiphysics. Various flow properties such as 'maximum flow rate' and 'pressure' have been discussed in the terms of the Reynolds number and also using the linear and quadratic regressions in order to establish the relationship between them for the future analysis. Moreover the impact of turning screen in the shape of increment in the maximum flow rate and pressure is checked in terms of Reynolds number and  Satisfactory results are gained in comparison with the results available in the literature.

A 2-D computational analysis is carried out to calculate heat transfer and friction factor for laminar flow through a rectangular duct with using fan–shape ribs as a turbulator. The types of rib shapes are imported on the heat transfer rate and fluid flow in heat exchangers. The present study makes use of fan-shaped ribs with two arrangements. The first arrangement was downstream fan–shape ribs (case 1) and upstream fan–shape ribs (case 2) is investigated. A commercial finite volume package ANSYS FLUENT 16.1 is used for solving the meshing process with continuity, momentum, and energy equations respectively to investigate fluid flow and heat transfer across the ribs surface. The Reynolds number (Re) range of (400 – 2250) with different relative roughness pitch (p/H= 0.17, 0.22, 0.27 and 0.32) at constant rib high (e/H). The results show that the heat transfers and friction increase with using ribs also, the results show that heat transfer Directly proportional to pitch ratio and Reynolds number. The Nusselt number enhancement by (12% -29%).

In this paper, the numerical solution of non-Newtonian two-phase fluid-flow through a channel with a cavity was studied. Carreau-Yasuda non-Newtonian model which represents well the dependence of stress on shear rate was used and the effect of n index of the model and the effect of input Reynolds on the attribution of flow were considered. Governing equations were discretized using the finite volume method on staggered grid and the form of allocating flow parameters on staggered grid is based on marker and cell method. The QUICK scheme is employed for the convection terms in the momentum equations, also the convection term is discretized by using the hybrid upwind-central scheme. In order to increase the accuracy of making discrete, second order Van Leer accuracy method was used. For mixed solution of velocity-pressure field SIMPLEC algorithm was used and for pressure correction equation iteratively line-by-line TDMA solution procedure and the strongly implicit procedure was used. As the results show, by increasing Reynolds number, the time of sweeping the non-Newtonian fluid inside the cavity decreases, the velocity of Newtonian fluid increases and the pressure decreases. In the second section, by increasing n index, the velocity increases and the volume fraction of non-Newtonian fluid after cavity increases and by increasing velocity, the pressure decreases. Also changes in the velocity, pressure and volume fraction of fluids inside the channel and cavity are more sensible to changing the Reynolds number instead of changing n index.

In this paper the results of previous researches are extended and equations developed by means of which the resistance to fluid flow offered by a bed of spherical or non-spherical material may be computed with reasonable accuracy. The equations cover a range of porosity of the bed from 30 per cent to 90 per cent and practically the whole of the technically important range of Reynolds number, while particle shapes ranging from spheres to hollow cylinders, shell insulators and wire nails are covered. A new curve for wall-effect, depending upon Reynolds number, is also included. It is believed that the present work is of more general application than any which has previously been suggested.
