The prediction of the separation trajectories of the external stores released from a military aircraft is an important task in the aircraft design area having the objective to define the operational and release envelopes. This paper presents the results obtained for store separation by employing commercial sorftwares, FLUENT and CFD-FASTRAN. FLUENT treats the rigid body motion by employing the remeshing scheme. CFD-FASTRAN uses the chimera(overset) grid and interpolations. It was found that, for the prediction of the trajectories and behavior of the stores separated from the wing, both codes shows the good agreement with the experimental results.

Mass conservation is a key issue for accurate streamline and stream surface visualization of flow fields. This paper complements an existing method (Feng et al. 1997) for CFD velocity fields defined at discrete locations in space that uses dual stream functions to generate streamlines and stream surfaces. Conditions for using the method have been examined and its limitations defined. A complete set of dual stream functions for all possible cases of the linear fields on which the method relies are presented. The results in this paper are important for developing new methods for mass conservative streamline visualization from CFD and using the existing method.

A commercial CFD code is used to calculate the 3-D viscous flow field within the centrifugal pump impeller. Design conditions are changed by impeller inlet(9.3mm, 12.2mm) and outlet breadth(6.65mm, 6.85mm). Numerical calculation was performed by changing flow rate from 8 to 26m$^{3}$/hr. Computation results shows that total head is increased at the larger inlet and outlet breadth than the others. And when the flow rate is increasing, the total head was decreased. The maximum efficiency of pump is shown at the design flow rate(16m$^{3}$/hr). In this study shows that the calculated results are good agreements with analysis results of design condition.

In this study, a cross-flow fan system used in indoor unit of the split-type air conditioner is analyzed by computational simulation. A commercial CFD code - Fluent - is used to calculate the performance and its unsteady flow characteristics. The unsteady incompressible Wavier-Stokes equations are solved using a sliding mesh technique on the interface between rotating fan region and the outside. The acoustic pressure is calculated by using Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings equation. (omitted)

A wind energy assessment is an integrated analysis of the potential of wind energy resources of a particular area. In this work, the wind energy potentials for Mauritius have been assessed using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model. The approach employed in this work aims to enhance the assessment of wind energy potentials for the siting of large-scale wind farms in the island. Validation of the model is done by comparing simulated wind speed data to experimental ones measured at specific locations over the island. The local wind velocity resulting from the CFD simulations are used to compute the weighted-sum power density including annual directional inflow variations determined by wind roses. The model is used to generate contour maps of velocity and power, for Mauritius at a resolution of 500 m.

The reasonable layout of vacuum cleaner can effectively improve the collection efficiency of iron filings generated in the process of steel production. Therefore, in this study, the CFD-DEM coupling model and two-fluid model are used to calculate the iron filings collection efficiency of vacuum cleaner with different inclination/cross-sectional area, pressure drop and inlet angle. The results are as follows: The CFD-DEM coupling method can truly reflect the motion mode of iron filings in pneumatic conveying. Considering the instability and the decline of the growth rate of iron filings collection efficiency caused by high pressure drop, the layout of 75° inclination is suggested, and the optimal pressure drop is 100Pa. The optimal simulation results based on two-fluid model show that when the inlet angle and pressure drop are in the range of 45°~65° and 70Pa~100Pa, larger mass flow rate of iron filings can be obtained. It is hoped that the simulation results can offer some suggestion to the layout of vacuum cleaner in the rolling mill.

In the present paper, Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) uncertainty analysis proposed by ITTC was investigated and applied to ship resistance performance using open source libraries, called OpenFOAM. Uncertainties for grid size, time step and iteration number were studied. Wave patterns and hull wave profile were compared for various uncertainty parameters. From results, grid size uncertainty was mainly contributed to simulation numerical uncertainty.

An analytical study was carried out to investigate the performance of an oil pumping system of a variable speed compressor using a commercial CFD program. The simulations for the oil supplying system with the oil and air mixture were performed by varying compressor speed from 40 Hz to 90 Hz. Comparing the predicted with the measured data on the modified scroll compressor validated the simulation model. The predicted results were consistent with the test data with a maximum deviation of 12.8%. The oil flow rate significantly increased with a rise of compressor speed due to a higher oil flow rate from the swing pump and a greater centrifugal force on oil gallery.

After revision of law of architecture in 2006, all houses which have more 100 households must has ventilation unit for the indoor air quality. Optimal design of the natural and the mechanical ventilation has being considered. In this paper, it is carried out about optimal design for airflow distribution of total heat exchanger in houses using CFD. As the result, first design of ventilation has some problem in porch area. Adding diffusers in porch area and changing diffuser schedule make more efficient ventilation than original design.

Stirred tanks are widely used in various industries for mixing operations and chemical reactions for single- or multi-phase fluid systems. In this study, a numerical study was conducted to predict the mixing characteristics in a simple stirred tank. The flow in the model stirred tank was calculated utilizing the multiple reference frame (MRF) and the sliding mesh (SM) capabilities of a commercial CFD code (Fluent 6.2). The results of the flow simulation were analyzed in terms of the mixing efficiency, and the applicability of MRF and SM methods was also discussed.
