This paper attempts to undertake a comparative analysis of resistance characteristics between newly developed asymmetrical catamaran hull forms which were derived from existing conventional NPL series of round bilge catamaran hull forms by Molland, Wellicome and Couser (1994). A set of asymmetrical catamaran hull forms with waterline length of 1.6 m with a separation ratio (s/L) of 0.4 were generated by using standard modelling software. The resistance analysis had been carried out by using STAR CCM+, a computational fluid dynamics package for Froude numbers of 0.25, 0.30, 0.60, 0.80 and 1.0. Literature survey indicates that there is scant historical background in public domain to perform resistance analysis on asymmetrical catamaran hull forms. As this is not feasible due to lack of data in areas that were considered crucial, separate resistance analysis is carried out for each hull configuration. Finally, the compared resistance results will attempt to conclude whether asymmetrical catamaran hull forms are more efficient than the conventional catamaran hull forms.

Working in a commercial kitchen in restaurants and hotels is physically challenging. In the Middle East, summer temperatures are very high and require proper ventilation and air conditioning for comfortable working. In the current study a typical kitchen with dimensions 5 m × 4 m × 3 m, with heat source and range hood is modelled using computational fluid dynamics software. A comparative analysis was conducted on the location of the air conditioning system in the kitchen space. The investigated locations of the air conditioning system were on the kitchen side wall and ceiling. The results of the simulation showed that placing the air conditioning system in the ceiling at the centre of the kitchen produced better air circulation. The air flow close to the hood had sufficient velocity to remove heat, contaminants and CO2 generated from the cooking process

To improve the using efficiency of clean energy, in this investigation, three wind-heating devices, nonlayered-stirring heating device, layered-stirring heating device and layered extruded stirring heating device, were designed, fabricated and tested. The performance of these three devices was investigated experimentally. Results show that, under the experimental conditions, the layered extruded stirring heating device is the most efficient, and its heating efficiency reaches 46.4%. Then, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models were established base on these three devices. The comparative analysis of the simulation and experimental results, both obtained consistent heating law. This suggests that the use of the software CFD simulating the stirring heating device is feasible.

The objective of this survey is to evolve a better understanding of the complex thermal interactions inside a motor spindle. Therefore, the thermal behavior is investigated based on a simulation model and experiments. In contrast to existing simulation models, which either performed a complex thermal examination or an elaborate flow-mechanical analysis, a thermal (Finite Element Method) and fluid mechanical (Computational Fluid Dynamics) coupled simulation model was developed. Based on a comparative analysis, the usability of the currently available boundary conditions is scrutinized.
