Linear stability analysis of thermocapillary convection in liquid bridges using a mixed finite difference‐spectral method

J.–C. Chen, S.–S. Sheu

A linear stability analysis has been employed toinvestigate the thermocapillary instability occurring in anonisothermal liquid bridge. The steady, axisymmetric basicstate was…

On computation of two and three‐dimensional unsteady thermal non‐newtonian flows

D. Ding, P. Townsend, M.F. Webster

In this article we report on progress in the development of softwaretools for fluid flow prediction in the polymer processing industry. Thisinvolves state‐of‐the‐art numerical…

Predictions of unsteady flame spread and burning processes by the vorticity‐stream function formulation of the compressible navier‐stokes equations

Colomba Di Blasi

A two‐dimensional mathematical model of flame spread andsolid burning is presented. For the gas phase, it consists ofvariable density, fully elliptic Navier‐Stokes momentum…

A coupled model for water flow, airflow and heat flow in deformable porous media

Bernard A. Schrefler, Xiaoyong Zhan, Luciano Simoni

A fully coupled numerical model to simulate the complexbehaviour of soil deformation, water flow, airflow, and heatflow in porous media is developed. The following thermal…

Simulation of fluid mixing using least‐squares finite elements & particle tracing

G.F. Carey, Y. Shen

A least‐squares finite element analysis of viscous fluidflow together with a trajectory integration technique fortracers is formulated and provides a mechanism for…
