On the temporal and spatial fourth‐order finite volume velocity de‐averaging for unsteady incompressible flows simulation

J.M.F. Trindade, J.C.F. Pereira

This paper aims to focus on the temporal and spatial fourth‐order finite volume discretization of the incompressible form of the Navier‐Stokes equations on structured uniform…

Analysis of dynamic stresses in Kaplan turbine blades

Lingjiu Zhou, Zhengwei Wang, Ruofu Xiao, Yongyao Luo

Some comparison of unsteady flow calculation and the measured stress showed that the dynamic stresses in blades are closely related to hydraulic instability. However, few studies…

Inter‐relation of the structural variation theorems and the force method

A. Kaveh, M. Najimi

This paper aims to study the variation theorems for pin‐jointed structures and rigid‐jointed frames.

Control of cyclic variations by computing the cycle‐to‐cycle air‐fuel ratio by neuro fuzzy technique

Y. Robinson, S. Dhandapani

The problem of cyclic variation has been an interesting area of research and has been investigated by many researchers. It is more severe in the case of two‐stroke engines…

An under‐relaxation factor control method for accelerating the iteration convergence of flow field simulation

C.H. Min, W.Q. Tao

This paper aims to accelerate the iteration convergence for elliptic fluid flow problems, so that an under‐relaxation factor control method is developed.
