  • In this study, the numerical investigation of nonlinear flow in a porous medium was carried out. The applied numerical model is ANSYS CFX which is a three-dimensional fluid dynamic model, and the verification of this model was carried out by using the experimental data obtained from Mayer et al works(2011). The experimental and numerical results of velocity and Reynolds number-friction coefficient relationship show relatively a good agreement. Based on the experimental results, we analysed numerically the velocity and Reynolds number-friction coefficient relationship with the variation of permeability, dynamic viscosity and porosity and quantitatively the variation by applying the best curve fitting for each case.

  • In this paper, we present the flow and heat transfer characteristics with the array of impinging jet nozzles by using the numerical computation and experiment. Numerical solutions were obtained for dimensionless gap H=6, dimensionless outlet length L=10 and Reynolds number Re=1500 by using the commercial CFD code, CFX -5. Experimental and numerical results were agreed well with each other. It was found that the impinging jet with circular array nozzles generated the uniform heat transfer area and the maximum heat transfer is higher than rectangular array nozzles for certain parameter sets.

  • This paper describes a CFD investigation into the flow over the cab of a bluff-fronted lorry. Several different simulations were undertaken, using the commercial codes: CFX, Fluent and PowerFLOW. Using the $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model, the flow over the cab was symmetric, however, using more accurate turbulence models such as the RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ model or the Reynolds Stress Model, the flow was asymmetric. The paper discusses whether this phenomenon is a real effect or whether it is a solver artefact and the study is supported by experimental evidence. The findings are preliminary, but suggest that it has a physical origin and that it may be aspect ratio-dependent.

  • Due to the nature of cavitation numerical analyses, computational optimization of a pump with respect to the cavitation properties is extremely demanding. In this paper it is shown how a combination of Transient Blade Row (TBR) method and some simplifications can be used for making the optimization process more efficient and thus possible on current generation of hardware. The aim of the paper is not the theory of hydraulic design. Instead, the practical aspects of numerical optimization are shown. This is done on an example of a radial pump and a combination of ANSYS CFX, ANSYS software tools and custom scripts is used. First, a comparison of TBR and fully-transient simulation is made. Based on the results, the TBR method is chosen and a parametric model assembled. Design of Experiment (DOE) table is computed and the results are used for sensitivity analysis. As the last step, the final design is created and computed as fully-transient. In conclusion, the results are discussed.

  • High efficient steam turbine stage has been developed with the help of the 3-dimensional design tool. In this stage design, the compound leaned stacking method has been adopted to reduce the secondary flow loss of a turbine passage and to increase the performance efficiency for the turbine nozzles. And the turbine buckets have been designed with the quasi-3-dimensional turbomachinery blade design method. To verify the stage design, therefore, the 3-dimensional numerical simulation of a steam turbine stage was conducted. In this design, CFX-TASCflow was employed to predict the turbulent flow of a steam turbine stage. The analysis was performed in parallel calculation using the HP N4000 8 CPUs machine. The result showed CFX-TASCflow could be used as the 3-dimensional flow analysis tool of steam turbine design.

  • The valve is used on control of flow in a ship. Flow coefficient of valve is very importance in the design of valve. In this paper, three-dimensional computer simulations by commercial code CFX were conducted to observe the valve type and to measure flow coefficient when valves with various angles and uniform incoming velocity were used in a piping system. By contrast, a group of experimental data is used to compare with the data obtained by CFX simulation to investigate the validity of numerical method.
