Immersed Boundary Method Application as a Way to Deal with the Three-Dimensional Sudden Contraction

  • Jonatas E. Borges,
  • Marcos Lourenço,
  • Elie L. M. Padilla and
  • Christopher Micallef

The immersed boundary method has attracted considerable interest in the last few years. The method is a computational cheap alternative to represent the boundaries of a geometrically complex body, while using a cartesian mesh, by adding a force term...

The Hydraulic Cavitation Affected by Nanoparticles in Nanofluids

  • Min-Rui Chen,
  • Jin-Yuan Qian,
  • Zan Wu,
  • Chen Yang,
  • Zhi-Jiang Jin and
  • Bengt Sunden

When liquids flow through a throttling element, the velocity increases and the pressure decreases. At this point, if the pressure is below the saturated vapor pressure of this liquid, the liquid will vaporize into small bubbles, causing hydraulic cav...
