The Dongsam seawater stream on a reclaimed land flows by tidal forcing. The flow in generally slow, especially in the central portion of the stream because the outflow and inflow each occurs at both ends of the stream simultaneously. As a result, sediments accmulate constantly with the deteorating water quality. In this study, field observation was conducted using Aquadrifter and Aquadopp and analyzed for the analysis of the flow velocity in the stream. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling was run with and without Seawater Stream Floodgate to predict the variability of the flow. The flow velocity of the Dongsam Seawater Stream was recorded in the range of 0.01 ~ 0.13 m/s, and the tidal range was within 1.0 m. According to the simulation, the flow velocity could increase remarkably with two floodgates used to force the stream to flow unidirectionally (toward Korea Maritime & Ocean University). The flow velocity change rate at each point is recorded -97 ~ 638% at P1 (front of Malfunction Floodgate near Busan Int. Cruise Terminal), -89 ~ 659% at P2 (back of Malfunction Floodgate near Busan Int. Cruise Terminal), -100 ~ 1198% at P3 (central channel), and at P4 (toward Korea Maritime & Ocean University) was -100 to 1163%, and Case III-a showed the largest flow velocity rate increase in the central part. Therefore, if two Floodgates are installed and flowed out toward Korea Maritime & Ocean University, the flow velocity rate of the Stream can be increased.

The aim of the article is to present the possibilities of application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to modelling of air flow in combustion engine intake manifold depending on airbox configuration. The non-stationary flow occurs in internal combustion engines. This is a specific type of flow characterized by the fact that the variables depend not only on the position but also on the time. The intake manifold dimension and geometry strongly effects intake air amount. The basic target goal is to investigate how the intake trumpet position in the airbox impacts the filling of the combustion chamber. Furthermore, the effect of different distances between the trumpet neck and the airbox wall in this paper will be compared.

This effort investigates advancing cavitation modeling relevant to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) through two strategies. The first aims to reformulate the cavitation models and the second explores adding liquid–vapor slippage effects. The first aspect of the paper revisits cavitation model formulations with respect to the Rayleigh–Plesset equation (RPE). The present approach reformulates the cavitation model using analytic solutions to the RPE. The benefit of this reformulation is displayed by maintaining model sensitivities similar to RPE, whereas the standard models fail these tests. In addition, the model approach is extended beyond standard homogeneous models, to a two-fluid modeling framework that explicitly models the slippage between cavitation bubbles and the liquid. The results indicate a significant impact of slip on the predicted cavitation solution, suggesting that the inclusion of such modeling can potentially improve CFD cavitation models. Overall, the results of this effort point to various aspects that may be considered in future CFD-modeling efforts with the goal of improving the model accuracy and reducing computational time.

A test site located along a 12-lane motorway east of Montpellier, France, is used to evaluate the potential of biomagnetic monitoring on traffic-related particulate matter (PM) to parametrize a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of the local airflow. Two configurations were established on the site with three vegetated flat-top earth berms of a basic design, and a fourth one was located windward to the traffic roofed with a 4-m-high precast concrete wall. As a first step, PM deposition simultaneously on plant leaves, on low-cost passive artificial filters, and on soils was estimated from proxies supplied by magnetic and X-ray fluorescence measurements on both sides of the motorway. These latter revealed that traffic-related pollutants are present on soils samples highlighted with a clear fingerprint of combustion residues, and wears of breaks, vehicles, and highway equipment. Maximum PM accumulations were detected in the lee of the berm–wall combination, while no significant deposition was observed on both sides of the flat-top earth berms. These results are in line with measurements from PM µ-sensors operated by the regional state-approved air quality agency. Finally, we compared the experimental measurements with the outcomes of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling based on the Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations that consider the traffic-induced momentum and turbulence. The CFD modeling matches the experimental results by predicting a recirculated flow in the near wake of the berm–wall combination that enhances the PM concentration, whereas the flat-top berm geometry does not alter the pollutants’ transport and indeed contributes to their atmospheric dispersion.

Dielectrophoresis and Electrothermal Flow are two physical processes investigated for enhancing transport of antigen to a region of immobilized conjugate antibodies on an immunosensor surface. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling is employed to understand these phenomena in detail to aid in the design optimization of the device.
