In this paper, the development features of a single free jet of hightemperature nitrogen interacting with a flat surface were studied. Calculation of the heat exchange process during heating by the attacking jets is very difficult to implement analytically due to complexity of the gas-dynamic processes occurring both in a single jet and in a system of jets interacting with the metal. The computational difficulties are aggravated by the fact that when interacting with the surface the jet as such disappears. The flat (fan) flow interacts with the surface: form, aerodynamic properties and thermal state of the flow strongly differ from those of the original jet. The studies were conducted on the basis of numerical simulation in the FloEFD software and computing complex for multiphysical simulation based on solution of the equations of gas dynamics and heat transfer. The solved system of equations consisted of Navier-Stokes equations, equations of energy and continuity and was supplemented by k – ε turbulence model. A three-dimensional model was developed for simulation, the necessary properties, initial and boundary conditions were specified. In the study of aerodynamics of a single high-temperature jet interacting with the surface, the main defining values were: nitrogen flow rate from the nozzle U0 , nitrogen temperature T, internal diameter of the nozzle d0 , distance from the nozzle section to the surface h, distance from the critical point (point of intersection of the jet axis with the surface) along the flow radius r. Data on the gas velocity decrease as the jet develops due to the loss of initial energy to engage the motionless surrounding gas in motion, is presented. The studies have shown that increase in the initial velocity of gas outflow brings the area of higher velocities closer to the surface both in the jet itself and in the fan jet. This factor contributes to heat transfer intensification. In addition, high speeds increase the total thickness of the fan flow and reduce the thickness of hydrodynamic boundary layer, which increases with distance from the critical point.

Abstract A three-dimensional model is developed to investigate flow and conjugate heat transfer in the microchannel-based heat sink for electronic packaging applications. The incompressible laminar flow Navier-Stokes equations of motion as well as the energy conservation equations for the fluid and solid are employed as the governing model equations which are numerically solved using the generalized single-equation framework for solving conjugate problems. First, the theoretical model developed is validated by comparing the model predictions of the thermal resistance and the friction coefficient with available experimental data for a wide range of Reynolds numbers. Then, the parametric calculations are performed to investigate the effects of different working fluids, solid substrate materials and channel geometry on conjugate heat transfer in the microchannel heat sink. The bulk and wall temperature and heat flux distributions as well as the average heat transfer characteristics are reported and discussed. Important practical design recommendations are also provided regarding the cooling efficiency of the microchannel heat sink.

One numerical method was designed to solve the time-dependent, three-dimensional, incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in turbulent thermal channel flows. Its originality lies in the use of several well-known methods to discretize the problem and its parallel nature. Vorticy-Laplacian of velocity formulation has been used, so pressure has been removed from the system. Heat is modeled as a passive scalar. Any other quantity modeled as passive scalar can be very easily studied, including several of them at the same time. These methods have been successfully used for extensive direct numerical simulations of passive thermal flow for several boundary conditions.

A calculation method for counter-current type coil-wound heat exchanger is presented for heat exchange process. The numerical simulation method is applied to determine the basic physical parameters of wound bundles. By controlling the inlet fluid velocity varying in coil-wound heat exchanger to program and calculate the iterative process. The calculation data is analyzed by comparison of numerical result and the unit three dimensional pipe bundle model was built. Studies show that the introduction of numerical simulation can simplify the pipe winding process and accelerate the calculation and design of overall configuration in coil-wound heat exchanger. This method can be applied to the physical modeling and heat transfer calculation of pipe bundles in coil wound heat exchanger, program to calculate the complex heat transfer changing with velocity and other parameters, and optimize the overall design and calculation of spiral bundles.

Abstract In this study, computational fluid dynamics analysis was performed on a three-dimensional model of a Libellulidae wing to determine aerodynamic performance in gliding flight. The wing is comprised of various corrugated features alongside the spanwise and chordwise directions, as well as twist. The detailed features of real 3D dragonfly wing models, including all the corrugations through both span and chord, have not been considered in the past for a detailed aerodynamic analysis. The simulations were conducted by solving the Navier-Stokes equations to demonstrate gliding performance over a range of angles of attack at low Reynolds numbers. The numerical model was validated against experimental data obtained from a fabricated corrugated wing model using particle image velocimetry. The numerical results demonstrate that bio-inspired wings with corrugations compared to flat profile wings generate more lift with lower drag, trapping the vortices in the valleys of wing corrugation leading to delayed flow separation and delayed stall. The experimental and numerical results demonstrate that the methodology presented in this study can be used to measure bio-inspired 3D wing flow characteristics, including the influence of complex corrugations on aerodynamic performance. These findings contribute to the advancement of knowledge required for designing an optimized bioinspired micro air vehicle.

In this paper a three-dimensional conjugate calculation has been performed for a passenger car turbo charger. The scope of this work is to investigate the heat fluxes in the radial compressor which can be strongly influenced by the hot turbine. As a result of this, the compressor efficiency may deteriorate. Consequently, the heat fluxes have to be taken into account for the determination of the efficiency. To overcome this problem a complex three-dimensional model has been developed. It contains the compressor, the oil cooled center housing, and the turbine. 12 operating points have been numerically simulated composed of three different turbine inlet temperatures and four different mass flows. The boundary conditions for the flow and for the outer casing were derived from experimental test data (part II of the paper). Resulting from these conjugate calculations various one-dimensional calculation specifications have been developed. They describe the heat transfer phenomena inside the compressor with the help of a Nusselt number which is a function of an artificial Reynolds number and the turbine inlet temperature.

A three-dimensional numerical study of the hydrodynamic effect produced by a system of submerged breakwaters in a coastal area with a curvilinear shoreline is proposed. The three-dimensional model is based on an integral contravariant formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations in a time-dependent curvilinear coordinate system. The integral form of the contravariant Navier-Stokes equations is numerically integrated by a finite-volume shock-capturing scheme which uses Monotonic Upwind Scheme for Conservation Laws Total Variation Diminishing (MUSCL-TVD) reconstructions and an Harten Lax van Leer Riemann solver (HLL Riemann solver). The numerical model is used to verify whether the presence of a submerged coastal defence structure, in the coastal area with a curvilinear shoreline, is able to modify the wave induced circulation pattern and the hydrodynamic conditions from erosive to accretive.

In this article, computational fluid dynamics(CFD) method is used to predict the effect of blade numbers on the pressure drop of axial cyclone separators. A three-dimensional model is built to acquire the resistance of axial cyclone separators with different blade numbers. The flow field inside cyclone separators is calculated using 3D Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. And turbulence model is used to simulate the Reynold stress. Also pressure drop of cyclone separators with different blade numbers is expressed as a function of different inlet velocities. At the same inlet velocity with increasing the blade numbers, pressure drops of cyclones reduce greatly. And changing the blade number of cyclone separator is an effective method to improve its resistance performance.
