    Investigations on High-Speed Flash Boiling Atomization of Fuel Based on Numerical Simulations

    Wei Zhong, Zhenfang Xin, Lihua Wang, Haiping Liu
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.2, pp. 1427-1453, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.031271

    Abstract Flash boiling atomization (FBA) is a promising approach for enhancing spray atomization, which can generate a fine and more evenly distributed spray by increasing the fuel injection temperature or reducing the ambient pressure. However, when the outlet speed of the nozzle exceeds 400 m/s, investigating high-speed flash boiling atomization (HFBA) becomes quite challenging. This difficulty arises from the involvement of many complex physical processes and the requirement for a very fine mesh in numerical simulations. In this study, an HFBA model for gasoline direct injection (GDI) is established. This model incorporates primary and secondary atomization, as well as vaporization and… More >

    Computational Analysis of Heat and Mass Transfer in Magnetized Darcy-Forchheimer Hybrid Nanofluid Flow with Porous Medium and Slip Effects

    Nosheen Fatima, Nabeela Kousar, Khalil Ur Rehman, Wasfi Shatanawi
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.137, No.3, pp. 2311-2330, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.026994
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Advanced Computational Methods in Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer)
    Abstract A computational analysis of magnetized hybrid Darcy-Forchheimer nanofluid flow across a flat surface is presented in this work. For the study of heat and mass transfer aspects viscous dissipation, activation energy, Joule heating, thermal radiation, and heat generation effects are considered. The suspension of nanoparticles singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are created by hybrid nanofluids. However, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) produce nanofluids, with water acting as conventional fluid, respectively. Nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) that describe the ultimate flow are converted to nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using appropriate similarity transformation. The ODEs are dealt with… More >

    Modeling and Validation of Base Pressure for Aerodynamic Vehicles Based on Machine Learning Models

    Jaimon Dennis Quadros, Sher Afghan Khan, Abdul Aabid, Muneer Baig
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.137, No.3, pp. 2331-2352, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.028925
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Advanced Computational Methods in Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer)
    Abstract The application of abruptly enlarged flows to adjust the drag of aerodynamic vehicles using machine learning models has not been investigated previously. The process variables (Mach number (M), nozzle pressure ratio (η), area ratio (α), and length to diameter ratio (γ )) were numerically explored to address several aspects of this process, namely base pressure (β) and base pressure with cavity (βcav). In this work, the optimal base pressure is determined using the PCA-BAS-ENN based algorithm to modify the base pressure presetting accuracy, thereby regulating the base drag required for smooth flow of aerodynamic vehicles. Based on the identical dataset,… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.136, No.2, pp. 1487-1507, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.025799

    Abstract The durability of cement-based materials is related to water transport and storage in their pore network under different humidity conditions. To understand the mechanism and characteristics of water adsorption and desorption processes from the microscopic scale, this study introduces different points of view for the pore space model generation and numerical simulation of water transport by considering the “ink-bottle” effect. On the basis of the pore structure parameters (i.e., pore size distribution and porosity) of cement paste and mortar with water-binder ratios of 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 obtained via mercury intrusion porosimetry, randomly formed 3D pore space models are generated… More >

    Abstract In this work, We are looking at the characteristics of micropolar flow in a porous channel that’s being driven by suction or injection. The working of the fluid is described in the flow model. We can reduce the governing nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) to a model of coupled systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity variables (ODEs). In order to obtain the results of a coupled system of nonlinear ODEs, we discuss a method which is known as the differential transform method (DTM). The concern transform is an excellent mathematical tool to obtain the analytical series solution to… More >

    Abstract The Riemann wave system has a fundamental role in describing waves in various nonlinear natural phenomena, for instance, tsunamis in the oceans. This paper focuses on executing the generalized exponential rational function approach and some numerical methods to obtain a distinct range of traveling wave structures and numerical results of the two-dimensional Riemann problems. The stability of obtained traveling wave solutions is analyzed by satisfying the constraint conditions of the Hamiltonian system. Numerical simulations are investigated via the finite difference method to verify the accuracy of the obtained results. To extract the approximation solutions to the underlying problem, some ODE… More >

    Abstract The utilization of solar energy is essential to all living things since the beginning of time. In addition to being a constant source of energy, solar energy (SE) can also be used to generate heat and electricity. Recent technology enables to convert the solar energy into electricity by using thermal solar heat. Solar energy is perhaps the most easily accessible and plentiful source of sustainable energy. Copper-based nanofluid has been considered as a method to improve solar collector performance by absorbing incoming solar energy directly. The goal of this research is to explore theoretically the Agrawal axisymmetric flow induced by… More >
