Abstract This paper examines the controlling of the three dimensional dusty nanofluid flow using the two circular cylinders having different thermal conditions. The cylinders are located in the middle area while the location of the right cylinder is changeable. The 3D cubic flow domain is filled by a non-Darcy porous medium and a magnetic field in Z-direction is taken place. The non-homogeneous two phase model of the nanofluid is applied while the permeability and thermal conductivity of the porous medium are assumed heterogonous. The current situation is represented by two systems of the equations for the nanofluid and dusty phases. The solutions methodology is depending on the 3D SIMPLE scheme together with the finite volume method. The major outcomes indicating to that the flow can be well controlled using the inner isothermal cylinders. Also, the cases of the heterogeneity in \(X-Y\) and \(X-Z\) directions give the lowest values of \({Nu}_{av}\).

The numerical calculation and simulation of gas-liquid two-phase flows with interfacial deformations have nowadays become more and more popular issues in various scientific and industrial fields. In this study, a three-dimensional gas-liquid two-phase flow numerical model is presented for investigating interfacial flows. The finite volume method was used to discretize the governing equations. A High-resolution scheme of VOF method (STACS) is applied to capture the free surface. The paper outlines the methodology of STACS and its validation against three typical test cases used to verify its accuracy. The results show the STACS-VOF gives very satisfactory results for three-dimensional two-phase interfacial flows problem, and this scheme performs more accurate and less diffusive preserving interface sharpness and boundedness.

The paper presents the numerical analysis of erosive wear on the guide vanes of a Francis turbine using CFD code. The 3-D turbulent particulate-liquid two-phase flow equations are employed in this study. The computing domain is discretized with a full three-dimensional mesh system of unstructured tetrahedral shapes. The finite volume method is used to solve the governing equations and the pressure-velocity coupling is handled via a Pressure Implicit with Splitting of Operators (PISO) procedure. Simulation results have shown that the volume fraction of sand at the top of the guide vanes is higher than others and the maximum of volume fraction of sand is at same location with the maximum of sand erosion rate density. The erosive wear is more serious at the top of the guide vanes.

In order to study the aerated cavity length and negative pressure on stepped spillway which combined with Y-shape asymmetric flaring gate pier body type, this paper applied RNG turbulence model,VOF model of water vapor two-phase, iterative solution of geometry reconstruction format of unsteady flow to generate free surface. Numerically simulated the length of aerated cavity and negative pressure of stepped spillway which combined with asymmetrical Y-shape flaring gate pier that with the contraction ratio respectively of 598, 0.497 and 0.445, the range from the upstream reservoir to downstream stilling basin. And compared the simulation results with experimental results, found that the aerated cavity length on steps basically consistent with the measured cavity length, the maximum error is 9.7%. The simulation results shows that the aeration cavity length on steps increases with asymmetric flaring gate pier contraction ratio decreases, and the aerated cavity length of lateral side with smaller contraction angle is larger 4 to 5 times than lateral side with larger contraction angle.

A three dimensional fluid flow model was set up in this paper, based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the elasticity theory. Using the finite volume method, a 120° bend was taken as a research object to simulate the erosion to the wall of fluid with sparse particles, finally, to determine the most severe wear areas.At the same time, the distribution of two-phase flows pressure and velocity was analyzed in 45° and 90° bends, then tracked the trajectory of the particles. The results show that the 90°bend has the smallest wear area and particle distribution or combination property is the best.

The subject of this paper is a numerical method for the calculation of the transonic flow field of multistage turbines, taking high coolant flow into account. To reduce the processing time, a throughflow method based on the principels of Wu is used for the hub-to-tip calculation. The flow field is obtained by an iterative solution between a three-dimensional inviscid hyperbolic time-dependent algorithm with an implicit finite volume method for the blade-to-blade calculations using C-meshes and a single representative meridional S2m-streamsurface. Along the S2m-plane with respect to nonorthogonal curvilinear coordinates, the stream function equation governing fluid flow is established. The cooling air inflow inside the blade passage forbids the assumption of a constant mass flow along the main stream direction. To consider the change of the aerodynamic and thermodynamic behavior, a cooling air model was developed and implemented in the algorithm, which allows the mixing of radially arbitrarily distributed cooling air in the trailing edge section of each blade row. The viscous effects and the influence of cooling air mixing are considered by the use of selected loss correlations for profile, tip leakage, secondary flow and mixing losses in the S2m-plane in terms of entropy. The method is applied to the four-stage high-temperature gas turbine Siemens KWU V84.3. The numerical results obtained are in good agreement with the experimental data.

In order to predict the flush performances of digital toilet products before mass production, a numerical simulation for a three-dimensional unsteady multi-phase flow in the flushing process of a wash-down toilet is carried out by using FLUENT software. The finite volume method (FVM) is used to discrete the three governing equations in space and time. The discrete equations are solved by using the first-order upwind discretization scheme and the PISO pressure-velocity coupling scheme. The realizable turbulence model is chosen as the viscous model to treat the fluid flow with large bending curvature wall. The volume of fluid (VOF) model is applied to solve the transient free-surface problem. First, a two-phase flow was simulated on the assumption that there is not sewage but water in the trap seal. Then, by simplifying the mixture of sewage and water in the trap seal as the third phase with high viscosity, a three-phase flow was simulated. Moreover, in order to validate the simulated results, a flushing testing was conducted to test the flush range, and a target type flow meter was designed, calibrated and applied to test the flush velocity. The comparisons show a good agreement between the numerical and experimental results. Based on the verified simulation results, the flush performances of the digital wash-down toilet, such as flush range, flush velocity and sewage replacement ability, can be predicted and evaluated.
