The application of ultrasonic waves in the processing of hydrocarbons is a new promising technology that has developed rapidly in recent years. However, the acoustic-induced cavitation erosion phenomenon is poorly studied. In this paper, a comparison...

Cardiovascular diseases still represent one of the most deadly pathologies worldwide. Knowledge of the blood flow dynamics within the cardio-vascular system is crucial in preventing these diseases and analysing their physiology and physio-pathology....

The following article proposes the design of a bi-centrifugal atomizer that allows the interaction of sprays from two fluids (water and liquid nitrogen). The liquid nitrogen (LN2) is below −195.8 °C, a temperature low enough for the nitroge...

The utilization of a rigid and projecting surface, coupled with an agitator and vortex generator, frequently results in the dissipation of more energy than the production of turbulence that meets the required criteria. By contrast, a passively oscill...

Registration of the flow pattern and the matter distribution of a free falling liquid drop in a target fluid at rest in the impact mode of coalescence when the kinetic energy (KEn) of the drop exceeds its available surface potential energy (ASPe) was...

This work focuses on an analysis of hydrodynamics to improve the efficiency in a batch reactor for lead recycling. The study is based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods, which are used to solve Navier–Stokes and Fick’s equation...

A possible method for fluid transportation of heavy oil through horizontal pipes is core annular flow (CAF), which is water-lubricated. In this study, a large eddy simulation (LES) and a sub-grid-scale (SGS) model are used to examine CAF. The behavio...

Recently, when modeling transient problems of conjugate heat transfer, the independent construction of grid models for fluid and solid subdomains is increasingly being used. Such grid models, as a rule, are unmatched and require the development of sp...

This paper is devoted to the description of computational algorithms for modeling quasi-one-dimensional non-steady flows of a multicomponent reacting gas. The particularity of the developed modeling technique is that the paths of strong and weak disc...

The transport and prediction of the concentration of particles in confined spaces are crucial for human well-being; this has become particularly evident during the current worldwide pandemic. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been widely used fo...
