The work is devoted to the numerical study of indoor microclimate. Accurately predicting the distributed microclimate inside the residential space equipped with a microclimate control system called the «smart house» allows to save thermal energy significantly. Mathematical modeling was carried out by means of the Navier-Stokes equation, the energy equation, the continuity equation. The system of equations used was closed using the k-w-sst turbulence model. The resulting numerical solution was performed in the Code_Saturn, which has a free license. The Salome free software package was used to build a grid. In this context, a second–order scheme (SOLU) was used to resolve the velocity field, a MULTIGRID scheme was used for the pressure field, automatic settings were used for the kinetic energy of turbulence and her dissipation and for the temperature field, the maximum number of iterations for each cycle was equal to 10000, the Solver Precision accuracy was 10-8. The SIMPLEC algorithm is used to obtain a connected solution of the momentum balance and continuity equations. The paper provides an example of numerical solution verification, which is showed the relative temperature deviation from the values obtained by other authors was no more than 0.8-1.2%. Numerical simulation of the air velocity field in the residential space showed values from 0.12 to 0.15 m/s. Based on the results of the obtained solution, an analysis of the saving of thermal energy was carried out when regulating the supply of heat.

Mathematical model for numerical simulation of the transient heat transfer and fluid flows in water thermal energy storage tanks is developed. The model allows analysis of the thermal fields in the accumulators at different schemes and modes of charging and discharging. It was verified and validated based on experimentally obtained information about the temperature stratification at charging of a thermal accumulator at a laboratory solar system. The proposed approach for numerical study of the thermal energy storage is convenient for parametrical estimation and improvement of the efficiency of the thermal systems.

A user software for numerical study of a Josephson junction model with magnetic momenta is presented. Computer implementation has been done by means of Wolfram Mathematica using the extensive capabilities of this system to create interactive dynamic objects. Two methods for numerical solution of the respective system of ordinary differential equations are implemented: the four-step Runge-Kutta algorithm and the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method with predetermined accuracy. Results of numerical simulation are presented to confirm the correctness of the calculations done with the developed software.

Based on CFD technology, flow around a 2-dimentional hydrofoil of highly skewed propeller and NACA series hydrofoils are simulated using 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equation with Realizable k- turbulence model. In the numerical simulation, the vapor volume fraction is calculated for different cavitation numbers and angles of attack by adding the mixture model. The hydrofoil’s performance and the relationship with hydrofoil parameter are qualitatively analyzed. Special focus is given to the influence of the cavitation numbers and angle of attack on cavitation characteristics.

The distribution of velocity field in single outlet tundish has been simulated through numerical solution of turbulent Navier-Stokes equation in conjunction with e − k turbulence model. The theoretical predicted results have compared with experimental ones, and excellent agreement between them has been achieved. Through comparing the computational data using coupled heat and flow method with that of using uncoupled method, it indicated that it’s necessary to utility the coupled heat and flow method in big size tundish since the thermal buoyance should not be ignored in the calculation.

The Numerical study of the flow of a fluid in the annular region between two eccentric sphere susing PHP Code isinvestigated. This flow is created by considering the inner sphere to rotate with angular velocity 1  and the outer sphererotate with angular velocity 2  about the axis passing through their centers, the z-axis, using the three dimensionalBispherical coordinates (, ,) .The velocity field of fluid is determined by solving equation of motion using PHP Codeat different cases of angular velocities of inner and outer sphere. Also Finite difference code is used to calculate surfacetractions at outer sphere.

The main objective of this paper is to focus on a numerical study of viscous dissipation effect on the steady state flow of MHD Williamson nanofluid. A mathematical modeled which resembles the physical flow problem has been developed. By using an appropriate transformation, we converted the system of dimensional PDEs (nonlinear) into coupled dimensionless ODEs. The numerical solution of these modeled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is achieved by utilizing shooting technique together with Adams-Bashforth Moulton method of order four. Finally, the results of discussed for different parameters through graphs and tables.

The behavior of a liquid flowing through a fixed bulk porous layer of a granular catalyst is considered. The effects of the nonuniformity of the fluid velocity field, which arise when the surface of the layer is curved, and the effect of the resulting inhomogeneity on the speed and nature of the course of chemical reactions are investigated by the methods of a computational experiment.

By applying the Adams-Bashforth-Moulton method (ABM), this paper explores the complexity and synchronization of a fractional-order laser dynamical model. The dynamics under the variance of derivative order q and parameters of the system have examined using the multiscale complexity algorithm and the bifurcation diagram. Numerical simulation outcomes demonstrate that the system generates chaos with the decreasing of q. Moreover, this paper designs the coupled fractional-order network of laser systems and subsequently obtains its numerical solution using ABM. These solutions have demonstrated chimera states of the proposed fractional-order laser network.
