Accurate analysis of the resin filling process into the mold cavity is necessary for the high-precision fabrication of moth-eye nanostructure using the ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) technique. In this research, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation model was proposed to reveal resin filling behavior, in which the effect of boundary slip was considered. By comparison with the experimental results, a good consistency was found, indicating that the simulation model could be used to analyze the resin filling behavior. Based on the proposed model, the effects of process parameters on resin filling behavior were analyzed, including resin viscosity, inlet velocity and resin thickness. It was found that the inlet velocity showed a more significant effect on filling height than the resin viscosity and thickness. Besides, the effects of boundary conditions on resin filling behavior were investigated, and it was found the boundary slip had a significant influence on resin filling behavior, and excellent filling results were obtained with a larger slip velocity on the mold side. This research could provide guidance for a more comprehensive understanding of the resin filling behavior during UV-NIL of subwavelength moth-eye nanostructure.

Abstract. In this study, simulations of forward and opposed smoldering in a burning cave were carried out by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling. The fuel in the burning cave was considered a multiphase porous medium with uniform heating. The heat release rates for forward and opposed smoldering in the burning cave were also calculated with an inverse method based on the CFD model. Experiments were conducted to validate the accuracy of the simulation model and the heating performance of the burning cave. The results showed that the model accurately predicted the temperature distributions in the burning cave with an error of 5% to 10% compared to the experimental results. Calculations showed that the heat release rate was 850 W m-3 for forward smoldering and 500 W m-3 for opposed smoldering with an air inlet velocity of 0.1 m s-1. When the air inlet velocity was increased to 0.3 m s-1, the heat release rate increased from 850 to 2,000 W m-3 for forward smoldering and from 500 to 1,000 W m-3 for opposed smoldering. Forward smoldering produced rapid heating in the burning cave but caused uneven temperature distribution on the roof. Conversely, opposed smoldering heated the burning cave at a slower rate, but the temperature distribution on the roof was uniform. Keywords: Burning cave, CFD simulation, Multiphase porous media, Smoldering.

Hydrocyclones provide an economic and efficient process of separation in many industries, but there has been little detailed understanding of the strong swirling flow prevailing inside the device, especially the complex inner vortex. This work presented a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to predict and to evaluate the effects of inlet velocity and the diameter of overflow tube on the inner vortex. The calculation was carried out using commercial CFD code Ansys Fluent 14.0. The results obtained demonstrates both an overlarge inlet velocity and a too small diameter of overflow tube lead to a severe backmixing at the head of hydrocyclone, moreover the latter results in a disorder and unstructured inner vortex.

This study aims to numerically simulate the flow of the salt wedge by using computational fluid dynamics, CFD. The accuracy of the numerical simulation model was assessed against published laboratory data. Twelve CFD model runs were conducted under the same laboratory conditions. The results showed that the propagation of the salt wedge is inversely proportional to the applied freshwater discharge and the bed slope of the flume.  The maximum propagation is obtained at the lowest discharge value and the minimum slope of the flume. The comparison between the published laboratory results and numerical simulation shows a good agreement. The range of the relative error varies between 0 and 16% with an average of 2% and a root mean square error of 0.18. Accordingly, the CFD software is quite valid to simulate the propagation of the salt wedge.

AbstractWe investigated the change in the retinal gas cover rates due to intraocular gas volume and positions using computational eye models and demonstrated the appropriate position after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with gas tamponade for rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs). Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) software was used to calculate the retinal wall wettability of a computational pseudophakic eye models using fluid analysis. The model utilized different gas volumes from 10 to 90%, in increments of 10% to the vitreous cavity in the supine, sitting, lateral, prone with closed eyes, and prone positions. Then, the gas cover rates of the retina were measured in each quadrant. When breaks are limited to the inferior retina anterior to the equator or multiple breaks are observed in two or more quadrants anterior to the equator, supine position maintained 100% gas cover rates in all breaks for the longest duration compared with other positions. When breaks are limited to either superior, nasal, or temporal retina, sitting, lower temporal, and lower nasal position were maintained at 100% gas cover rates for the longest duration, respectively. Our results may contribute to better surgical outcomes of RRDs and a reduction in the duration of the postoperative prone position.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the load characteristics of steel and concrete tubular members under jet fire, with the motivation to investigate the jet fire load characteristics in FPSO topsides. This paper is part of Phase II of the joint industry project on explosion and fire engineering of FPSOs (EFEF JIP) [1]. To obtain reliable load values, jet fire tests were carried out in parallel with a numerical study. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was used to set up an adiabatic wall boundary condition for the jet fire to model the heat transfer mechanism. A concrete tubular member was tested under the assumption that there is no conduction effect from jet fire. A steel tubular member was tested and considered to transfer heat through conduction, convection, and radiation. The temperature distribution, or heat load, was analyzed at specific locations on each type of member. ANSYS CFX [2] and Kameleon FireEx [3] codes were used to obtain similar fire action in the numerical and experimental methods. The results of this study will provide a useful database to determine design values related to jet fire.
