Accuracy of the Cell-Set Model on a Single Vane-Type Vortex Generator in Negligible Streamwise Pressure Gradient Flow with RANS and LES
(MDPI, 2020-12-02)
Passive flow control devices are included in the design of wind turbine blades in order to obtain better performance and reduce loads without consuming any external energy. Vortex Generators are one of the most popular ...
Heat and mass transfer analysis of radiative and chemical reactive effects on MHD nanofluid over an infinite moving vertical plate
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
A comparative study of nanofluid (Cu–H2O) and pure fluid (water) is investigated over a moving upright plate surrounded by a porous surface. The novelty of the study includes the unsteady laminar MHD natural transmission ...
Thermal enhancement and numerical solution of blood nanofluid flow through stenotic artery
(Nature, 2022)
The blood flow through stenotic artery is one of the important research area in computational fluid mechanics due to its application in biomedicine. Aim of this research work is to investigate the impact of nanoparticles ...
Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries: A Review Oriented to Fluid-Dynamic Optimization
(MDPI, 2020-12-31)
Large-scale energy storage systems (ESS) are nowadays growing in popularity due to the increase in the energy production by renewable energy sources, which in general have a random intermittent nature. Currently, several ...
Differential Evolution Optimal Parameters Tuning with Artificial Neural Network
(MDPI, 2021-02-21)
Differential evolution (DE) is a simple and efficient population-based stochastic algorithm for solving global numerical optimization problems. DE largely depends on algorithm parameter values and search strategy. Knowledge ...
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Controlled with an IGBT H-Bridge and Bidirectional Buck–Boost for Low-Cost 4G Devices
(MDPI, 2020-12-09)
In this work, a semi-submersible piezoelectric energy harvester was used to provide power to a low-cost 4G Arduino shield. Initially, unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS)-based simulations were conducted to ...
Estimating the Reattachment Length by Realizing a Comparison between URANS k-Omega SST and LES WALE Models on a Symmetric Geometry
(MDPI, 2021-07-24)
In this study, a water reattachment length was calculated by adopting two different models. The first was based on Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) k-omega with Shear Stress Transport (SST); the second was ...
Computational characterization of the behavior of a saliva droplet in a social environment
(Nature Research, 2022-04)
[EN] The conduct of respiratory droplets is the basis of the study to reduce the spread of a virus in society. The pandemic suffered in early 2020 due to COVID-19 shows the lack of research on the evaporation and fate of ...
Electroviscous Effect of Water-Base Nanofluid Flow between Two Parallel Disks with Suction/Injection Effect
(MDPI, 2022-03-17)
This article, investigates the behaviour of an ionized nanoliquid motion regarding heat transmission between two parallel discs. In the proposed model, the squeezing flow of Cu-water nanofluid with electrical potential ...
Natural Ventilation Characterization in a Classroom under Different Scenarios
(MDPI, 2021-05-19)
The COVID-19 pandemic has pointed to the need to increase our knowledge in fields related to human breathing. In the present study, temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration, and median particle ...
