The mixed convection flow in a lid-driven square cavity filled with a porous medium under the effect of a magnetic field is studied numerically using the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) with Houbolt time integration scheme. Induced magnetic field is also taken into consideration in terms of magnetic potential in solving magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow and temperature equations. Effects of the characteristic dimensionless parameters as Darcy (Da), Magnetic Reynolds (Rem), Grashof (Gr) and Hartmann (Ha) numbers, on the flow and heat transfer in the cavity are investigated at the final steady-state. It is found that the decrease in the permeability of porous medium and the increase in the intensity of the applied magnetic field cause the fluid to flow slowly. The convective heat transfer is reduced with an increase in Hartmann number. Magnetic potential circulates throughout the cavity with high magnetic permeability of the fluid. The combination of DRBEM with the Houbolt scheme has the advantage of using considerably small number of boundary elements and large time increments which results in small computational cost for solving the mixed convection MHD flow in a porous cavity.

A FEM approach to biomagnetic fluid flow in multiple stenosed channels Turk, O.; Bozkaya, Canan; Tezer, Münevver (Elsevier BV, 2014-06-25) The unsteady and laminar biomagnetic fluid flow of a viscous, incompressible, Newtonian and electrically conducting fluid is numerically investigated. Specifically, the two-dimensional flow driven in an infinite channel containing multiple stenosis and subject to a spatially varying external magnetic field is considered. The numerical method is based on the use of finite element method (FEM) in spatial discretization and unconditionally stable backward finite difference scheme for the time integration, for ...
Fast cell determination of the DSMC molecules in multi-stage turbo molecular pump design Sengil, N.; Edis, Fırat Oğuz (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-01) In this study, an existing 2D parallel DSMC solver is modified, to analyze the multi-stage turbomolecular pumps more efficiently. Generally, molecule movements are traced cell-by-cell in DSMC solvers both in structured and unstructured meshes in order to determine which cell the DSMC molecule is positioned in. These calculations require time consuming trigonometric operations. If a nonrectangular physical domain can be converted into a rectangular computational domain using curvilinear coordinates, then it ...
COMPRESSIBLE, HYPERELASTIC SPINNING TUBES SUBJECTED TO CIRCUMFERENTIAL SHEAR ERTEPINAR, A (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01) The finite strain behavior of cylindrical tubes, made of a polynomial compressible material and subjected to the simultaneous action of constant spin and uniform external circumferential shear, is investigated using the theory of finite elasticity. The inner surface of the tube is assumed to be perfectly bonded to a rigid shaft. The governing quasi-linear system of two ordinary differential equations is solved using a shooting method. Numerical results are generated to analyze, qualitatively, the effects...
Damage diagnosis in frame structures with a dynamic response method Akgün, Müşerref Asuman; Ju, Fudong (Informa UK Limited, 1990-6) The dynamic response of planar frame structures composed of damped Bernoulli-Euler beams is computed, with and without a crack present in the structure. The inertance changes due to the crack are investigated in relation to the crack location, with the aim of developing a diagnosis method. The optimum excitation location and frequency and the optimum locations for response measurement are determined for best diagnosis results. The effects of crack location and severity and of damping are investigated. Dampi...
A computational procedure for estimating residual stresses and secondary plastic flow limits in nonlinearly strain hardening rotating shafts Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-03-01) A computational procedure to estimate the residual stress distributions and the limit angular speeds for avoiding secondary plastic deformation in nonlinearly strain hardening rotating elastic-plastic shafts is given. The model is based on von Mises yield condition, J(2) deformation theory and a Swift-type hardening law. The boundary value problem for the governing nonlinear differential equation is solved by a shooting method using Newton iterations with numerically approximated tangent. Solid as well as h...
