In the present work a CFD simulation was performed using a CFM56-3 combustor.   It was intended to simulate the combustion and emission of pollutants (CO2, CO, UHC and NOx) from the different jet fuels ( Jet A, Jet B and TS-1), when burning these through ICAO’s LTO cycle. Being this a continuity study, the CAD model of CFM56-3 made by Oliveira [5] was used. The mesh was constructed with HELYX-OS software and the numerical study was made using the commercial software ANSYS Fluent16.2. It can be concluded, amongst all the fuels simulated that increasing the power produces higher NOx. There was also an erratic behaviour in the emissions of UHC and CO results, because an empiric model was used and not a detailed chemical model.

Mixing in pipe junctions can play an important role in exciting force and distribution of flow in pipe network. This paper investigated the cross pipe junction and proposed an improved plan, Y-shaped pipe junction. The numerical study of a three-dimensional pipe junction was performed for calculation and improved understanding of flow feature in pipe. The filtered Navier–Stokes equations were used to perform the large-eddy simulation of the unsteady incompressible flow in pipe. From the analysis of these results, it clearly appears that the vortex strength and velocity non-uniformity of centerline, can be reduced by Y-shaped junction. The Y-shaped junction not only has better flow characteristic, but also reduces head loss and exciting force. The results of the three-dimensional improvement analysis of junction can be used in the design of pipe network for industry.

Hydrodynamic performance of a gliding penguin flipper (wing) considering the backward sweep was estimated with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. A flipper of a gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis papua) was 3D scanned, smoothed, and a numerical fluid mesh was generated. For accurate yet resource-saving computation, an embedded large-eddy simulation (ELES) methods was employed, where the flow near the flipper was solved with large-eddy simulation (LES) and flow far away from the flipper was solved with Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS). The relative flow speed was fixed at 2 m s-1, close to the typical foraging speed for the penguin species. The sweep angle was set to be 0°, 30°, and 60°, while the angle of attack was varied between -40° and 40°, both are within the realistic ranges in the wing kinematics measurement of penguins in an aquarium. It was revealed that a higher sweep angle reduces the lift slope, but the lift coefficient is unchanged at a high angle of attack. Drag coefficient was reduced across the angles of attack with increasing the sweep angles. The drag polars suggest the sweep angle may be adjusted with the change in swimming speed and anhedral (negative dihedral) angle to minimise drag while maintaining the vertical force balance to counteract the positive buoyancy. This will effectively expand the swimming envelope of the gliding penguin, similar to a flying counterpart such as swift.

The numerical study reported here deals with the passive flow control around a two-dimensional D-shaped bluff body at a Reynolds number of Re=3.6×104. A small circular control cylinder located in the near wake behind the main bluff body is employed as a local disturbance of the shear layer and the wake. 3D simulations are carried out using a newly developed very large eddy simulation (VLES) method, based on the standard k − ε turbulence model. The aim of this study is to validate the performance of this method for the complex flow control problem. Numerical results are compared with available experimental data, including global flow parameters and velocity profiles. Good agreements are observed. Numerical results suggest that the bubble recirculation length is increased by about 36% by the local disturbance of the small cylinder, which compares well to the experimental observations in which the length is increased by about 38%. A drag reduction of about 18% is observed in the VLES simulation, which is quite close to the experimental value of 17.5%. It is found that the VLES method is able to predict the flow control problem quite well.

This paper reports on the model sensitivity analysis of a commercial computational fluid dynamics program, ANSYS FLUENT v14. The purpose of the analysis was to determine the appropriate modeling settings for numerical model of the case study. A full scale of a simplified urban street canyon was modelled and the turbulent flow was calculated using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) techniques. The model sensitivity tests involved are mesh sensitivity, statistically steady state and sampling. Adequate numbers of cells, period time to achieve statistically steady state (SST) and sampling time to simulate wind flow and pollutant dispersion in street canyon were determined through systematic tests.
