Numerical simulation of channel segregates during alloy solidification using TVD schemes

Mohamed Rady, Eric Arquis, Dominique Gobin, Benoît Goyeau

This paper aims to tackle the problem of thermo‐solutal convection and macrosegregation during ingot solidification of metal alloys. Complex flow structures associated with the…

Heat transfer enhancement and pressure drop reduction due to mixed convection between two vertical parallel plates

Esmail M.A. Mokheimer, S. Sami, B.S. Yilbas

This paper's aim is to examine flow and heat transfer through vertical channels between parallel plates, which is of prime importance in the design of cooling systems for…

Homotopy perturbation method for numerical solutions of coupled Burgers equations with time‐ and space‐fractional derivatives

Ahmet Yıldırım, Alev Kelleci

This paper aims to directly extend the homotopy perturbation method to study the coupled Burgers equations with time‐ and space‐fractional derivatives.

Properties of steady‐state solutions for a simulated solid rocket motor

Michael Shusser

This paper's aim is to propose a quasi‐steady numerical model of a solid rocket motor that includes the coupling of motor chamber gas dynamics with the composite solid propellant…

Chemical reaction and viscous dissipation effects on Darcy‐Forchheimer mixed convection in a fluid saturated porous media

A. Mahdy, A.J. Chamkha

The purpose of this work is to study the flow of mixed convection and mass transfer of a steady laminar boundary layer about an isothermal vertical flat plate embedded in a…

Parametric analysis of entropy generation due to laminar developing mixed convection between differentially heated isothermal vertical parallel plates

Esmail M.A. Mokheimer

The aim of this article is to present the results of a parametric analysis of the entropy generation due to mixed convection in the entry‐developing region between two…
