In this study, we analyze the performance of ventilation modules to improve air quality in educational facilities. Using (CFD), we examine the flow design variables of a window-mounted ventilation module. Using computational analysis, we analyze vari...

The report presents the approach implemented in the Russian LOGOS software package for the numerical simulation of the marine propeller flow problems using unstructured computational meshes automatically generated by the mesh generator. This approach...

This paper investigates the adequacy of radial basis function (RBF)-based models as surrogates in uncertainty quantification (UQ) and CFD shape optimization; for the latter, problems with and without uncertainties are considered. In UQ, these are use...

We aim to develop a floor-cleaning design by exploiting oscillating bubbles combined with ambient pressure waves to clean various surfaces. Previous studies of this method in lab settings have proven its efficacy, but practical applications, especial...

In this work, the influence of gas–solid drag and heat transfer coefficient models on the prediction capacity of the Euler–Euler approach to simulate reactive bubbling fluidized bed flows is studied. Three different cases are considered,...

This article presents a study on the aerodynamic drag of a generic dual-axle flatbed trailer and explores ways to reduce the drag using appendable drag-reducing devices. The primary sources of drag originated from the van and trailer’s rear, al...

Contemporary three-dimensional physics-based simulations of the solar convection zone disagree with observations. They feature differential rotation substantially different from the true rotation inferred by solar helioseismology and exhibit a convey...

The Cox and Merz rules are empirical correlations between the apparent viscosity of polymers with the effect of shear rate and the complex dynamic viscosity with the effect of frequency. In this study, the rheological properties of mayonnaise-type em...

Theoretical and experimental aspects of the project were conducted to investigate the effect of the mixing of a swirling steam jet into cross-flowing water. It was observed that based on the theoretical adiabatic estimations for the equilibrium tempe...

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a widely used experimental technique for measuring flow. In recent years, open-source PIV software has become more popular as it offers researchers and practitioners enhanced computational capabilities. Software de...
