  • This paper represents a numerical study of the flow field due to the interactions between a pair of vortices produced by vortex generators in a rectangular channel flow. In order to analyze longitudinal vortices induced by the vortex generators, the pseudo-compressibility method is introduced into the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Strokes equations of a 3-dimensional unsteady, incompressible viscous flow. A two-layer $k-{\epsilon}$ turbulence model is applied to a flat plate 3-dimensional turbulence boundary to predict the flow structure and turbulence characteristics of the vortices. The computational results predict accurately the vortex characteristics related to the flow field, the Reynolds shear stresses and turbulent kinetic energy. Also, in the prediction of skin friction characteristics the computational results are reasonably close to those of the experiment obtained from other researchers.

  • Instrumentation system in Concrete Face Rockfill Dam(CFRD) can give special attention to the deformation characteristics of the rockfill and behavior of the concrete membrane during construction, reservoir filling and subsequent phase of operation. It also contains data about vertical and transversal compressibility moduli of the rockfill, deflections in the concrete slab, and draws comparisons with other concrete face rockfill dams of recent construction. In this paper, the internal deformation data from D dam monitored by means of hydrostatic settlements cells are analyzed. Observations cover the construction stage, reservoir filling and up to March 1991. The above method can be concluded D dam was well constructed and maintained.

  • Using Carnahan-Starling equation for hard spheres and a lattice model with an attractive potential, a new twoparameter equation of state for pure gases is derived. Using this equation, compressibility factors are calculated and compared with Nelson-Obert generalized compressibility factor charts. The results show that the agreement of this equation with the experimental Nelson-Obert charts is similar to that of Redlich-Kwong equation in the average. But parameters and terms of the new equation have physical meanings which are more definite than those of Redlich-Kwong equation.

  • This study presents free vibration of beam made of porous material. The mechanical properties of the beam is variable in the thickness direction and the beam is investigated in three situations: poro/nonlinear nonsymmetric distribution, poro/nonlinear symmetric distribution, and poro/monotonous distribution. First, the governing equations of porous beam are derived using principle of virtual work based on Euler-Bernoulli theory. Then, the effect of pores compressibility on natural frequencies of the beam is studied by considering clamped-clamped, clamped-free and hinged-hinged boundary conditions. Moreover, the results are compared with homogeneous beam with the same boundary conditions. Finally, the effects of poroelastic parameters such as pores compressibility, coefficients of porosity and mass on natural frequencies has been considered separately and simultaneously.

  • Flow through a turbine flow meter is simulated by solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The solution method is based on the pseudo-compressibility approach and uses an implicit-upwind differencing scheme together with the Gauss-Seidel line relaxation method. The equations are solved steadily in rotating reference frames, and the centrifugal force and the Coriolis force are added to the equation of motion. The standard $k-{\epsilon}$model is employed to evaluate turbulent viscosity. Computational results yield quantitative as well as qualitative information on the design of turbine flow meters by showing the distributions of pressure and velocity around the turbine blades.

  • This paper describes the numerical computations of the interaction between the streamwise vortex and a flat plate 3-D turbulent boundary layer. In the present study, the main interest is in the behavior of the streamwise vortices introduced in turbulent boundary layers. The flow behind a vortex generator is modeled by the information that is avilable from studies on the dalta winglet. An algorithm of the solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for three-dimensional turbulent flows, together with a two layer turbulent model to resolve the near-wall flow, is based on the method of artificial compressibility. The present results show boundary layer distortion due to vortices, such as strong spanwise flow divergence and boundary thinning, and have a good agreement with the experimental data.

  • A numerical simulation on nitrogen gas flow in a long parallel plate microchannel was performed to obtain the effect of compressibility and rarefaction on gaseous flow in microchannels. The simulation was based on steady. two dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes and energy equations with noslip and first order slip boundary conditions. The channel was $1.2{\mu}m$ deep and $3000{\mu}m$ long. The Reynolds numbers were in the range of order from $10^{-2}$ to $10^{-1}$. So the flow was assumed to be laminar. The computations were performed on various pressure ratios. The outlet pressure was fixed to atmospheric pressure. The outlet Knudsen number was 0.0585, consequently the flow was in the slip flow regime. The computations were performed with the assumption of isothermal channel walls. The results were compared with the experimental data. The agreement was good.

  • Numerical simulation of viscous compressible flow in turbomachinery cascade involves many problems due to the complex geometry of blade but also flow phenomena. In the present study, numerical investigations have been performed to examine the three-dimensional flow characteristics inside the transonic linear turbine cascades using a commercial code, FLUENT. Multi-block H-type grids are applied to the high-turning turbine rotor blades and comparisons with the experimental data and the numerical results have been done. In addition, the effects of turbulence models on the prediction of the endwall flows are analyzed in the sense of the flow compressibility.
