The major purpose of the present research study is to design an efficient heat exchanger filled with hybrid nanofluid numerically by making use Al2O3-Cu-water hybrid nanofluid, FVM and simplec algorithm. The in-fluences of utilizing ribbed tube and then applying nanofluid are probed. Based on obtained findings usage of inner grooves for tube has an obvious effect on the rise of heat exchanger. The inner grooved heat exchanger with N = 3, P = 12mm, a = 0.9mm and q = 50 degrees is introduced as the most efficient inner grooved model filled with nanofluid. Further, it is shown that utilizing nanofluid improves the heat exchanger's energy efficiency. Also one of the important goals of this paper was to choose the optimum grid-mesh (GM) along with the least calculation time as well as the highest accuracy. Due to fulfill this demand, four diverse grid-meshes models were developed. For each of the models, various grids were developed and then checked for the analysis of error percent as well as estimation of the time values. The GM-Four with 930289 nodes is considered to ensure a good agreement in the 137 min. The model with Re=2,000,000 and phi Cu = 0.10 & phi Al2O3 = 0.05 at has the most efficiency among all models.

Depending on the jet nozzle which can break rock efficiently in the coal-bed methane formation, the radial horizontal well technology can form several horizontal holes with a certain diameter and length, andit can increase the exposed area and improve the production of single coal-bed methane well. In order to solve the problem that the jet nozzle can't achieve the goal of horizontal holes with large diameter and deep depth simultaneously, the multiple swirling jet nozzle with simple structure was designed. The outflow field of nozzle simulated by simplec algorithm showed the influence of water hole arrangement on flow field. The influence law of radius of setting circle, tangential angle and inclined angle on the rock breaking effect were studied by single factor indoor experiments, and reasonable parameter combination was optimized by comprehensive rock breaking test. Preferable CBM field application effect had been achieved in Qinshui Basin of Shanxi and this also could illustrate the value of multiple swirling jet nozzle.

The paper presents the results of testing a methodology for calculating two-phase flows in mini- and microchannels. The numerical methodology is based on the known fluid-in-cell method (VOF method) and the CSF procedure to account for surface tension forces. Solutions of several test problems of two-phase flow in microchannels, including the water-oil emulsion flow and gas-liquid flow in microchannels of the T-type and the stationary slug flow in a circular minichannel, were considered with the aid of this technique. Comparisons of numerical results with experimental data were carried out. A good agreement between the results was obtained.

The resistance induced by vegetation on the flow in a watercourse should be considered in projects of watercourse management and river restoration. Depth-averaged numerical model is an efficient tool to study this problem. In this study, a depth-averaged model using the finite volume method on a staggered curvilinear grid and the simplec algorithm for numerical solution is developed for simulating the hydrodynamics of free surface flows in watercourses with vegetation. For the model formulation the vegetation resistance is treated as a momentum sink and represented by a Manning type equation, and turbulence is parameterized by the k-epsilon equations. An analytical equation is derived to represent the resistance induced by submerged vegetation by an equivalent Manning roughness coefficient. Numerical simulation is carried out for the flow in an open channel with a 180 degrees bend, and the flow in a curved open channel partly covered by emerged vegetation, as well as the flow in a straight trapezoidal channel with submerged vegetation. The agreement between the computed results and the measured data is generally good, showing that the resistance due to emerged or submerged vegetation can be represented accurately by the Manning roughness equation. The computed results demonstrate that the depth-averaged modeling is a reasonable and efficient tool to study flows in watercourses with vegetations. (c) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

An implicit finite volume scheme is developed to solve the depth-averaged 2-D shallow water flow equations. The computational mesh consists of rectangular cells, with quadtree technology incorporated to locally refine the mesh around structures of interest or where the topography and/or flow properties change sharply. The governing equations are solved using the simplec algorithm on non-staggered grid to handle the coupling of water level and velocity. The discretized algebraic equations are solved iteratively using the GMRES method. The model has been tested against measurement data for steady flow at T Junction channel, unsteady flow in idealized estuary, tidal flows and pollutant transport in Gironde Estuary. The model reasonably well reproduces the temporal and spatial variations of water level and current speed observed in the measurements.

Date (1996) introduced a pressure-correction equation containing mass-conserving and smoothing pressure correction terms to solve the Navier-Stokes equations. The benefit of the smoothing terms is satisfying the stokes's relation which is often overlooked as well as overcoming the decoupling problem of the pressure-velocity fields, which renders it applicable to collocated (non-staggered) grids. His derivation relied on assumptions relevant to the SIMPLE algorithm (Caretto et al., 1972). Such assumptions are, unfortunately, not directly applicable to simplec procedures (van Doormaal and Raithby, 1984). The main purpose of this paper is to extend the pressure-correction equation proposed by Date (1996) to simplec algorithms.

The results from a 3D non-linear k-epsilon turbulence model with vegetation are presented to investigate the flow structure, the velocity distribution and mass transport process in a straight compound open channel and a curved open channel. The 3D numerical model for calculating flow is set up in non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinates in order to calculate the complex boundary channel. The finite volume method is used to disperse the governing equations and the simplec algorithm is applied to acquire the coupling of velocity and pressure. The non-linear k-epsilon turbulent model has good useful value because of taking into account the anisotropy and not increasing the computational time. The water level of this model is determined from 2D Poisson equation derived from 2D depth-averaged momentum equations. For concentration simulation, an expression for dispersion through vegetation is derived in the present work for the mixing due to flow over vegetation. The simulated results are in good agreement with available experimental data, which indicates that the developed 3D model can predict the flow structure and mass transport in the open channel with vegetation.

This paper presents an extended two-fluid model based on the Navier-Stokes equations and the standard k-e turbulence model, to simulate the three-dimensional air-water bubbly flow in turbo machinery. In the governing equations, the drag force and added mass force are added and the additional source terms arising from fluctuations of gas volume fraction are considered. The discrete equations are solved using a developed two-phase semi-implicit method for pressure-linked equations, consistent (simplec) algorithm in body-fitted coordi-nates with a staggered grid system. Simulation is then carried out for the pure liquid flow and air-water two-phase flow with the inlet gas volume fraction being 15% in a multiphase rotodynamic pump impeller and the pump head performance is predicted. Comparison with experimental results shows the reliability and commonality of the numerical model.
