The interaction of bioconvection caused by gyrotactic micro‐organisms and settling of small solid particles

A.V. Kuznetsov, P. Geng

To investigate numerically the settling of small solid particles in a suspension of motile gyrotactic micro‐organisms in order to evaluate the possibility of using bioconvection…

Effect of geometry on flow field and oil/water separation in vertical deadlegs

M.A. Habib, S.A.M. Said, H.M. Badr, I. Hussaini, J.J. Al‐Bagawi

Corrosion in deadlegs occurs as a result of water separation due to the very low flow velocity. The present work aims to investigate the effect of geometry on flow field oil/water…

Flow impingement onto a flat plate with limited heated area in relation to laser gas assisted processing: Influence of nozzle geometry on heat transfer rates

S.Z. Shuja, B.S. Yilbas, M.O. Budair

To investigate the influence of conical and annular nozzle geometric configurations on the flow structure and heat transfer characteristics near the stagnation point of a flat…

A quasi‐three‐dimensional numerical calculation procedure for periodically fully‐developed heat and fluid flow

A. Nakayama, F. Kuwahara

To introduce a novel numerical calculation procedure for periodically fully developed heat and fluid flow, which can treat three‐dimensional velocity and temperature fields, using…

Effect of drain cover on entrapment of air while draining a cylindrical vessel

Satish K. Ajmani, Swasti S. Mondal, Sukanta K. Dash

The objective of the research work is to predict the volume of fluid drained from a cylindrical vessel without entrapping air through the drainpipe, and hence predict the location…
