Computational investigation of flow through a louvered inlet configuration

2001-01-01
Viscous, subsonic flows through a flush louvered inlet configuration without inlet vanes are investigated using the overflow Navier-Stokes solver with overset grids. The variation of the mass flow rate through the engine intake as a function of intake pressure is assessed. The computed results show that the flow distortion and the pressure loss in the plenum chamber are significant, yet a sufficient amount of mass flow rate may be obtained at the expense of total pressure recovery.

Numerical and experimantal analysis of flapping motion
Sarıgöl, Ebru; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2007)
The aerodynamics of two-dimensional and three-dimensional flapping motion in hover is analyzed in incompressible, laminar flow at low Reynolds number regime. The aim of this study is to understand the physics and the underlying mechanisms of the flapping motion using both numerical tools (Direct Numerical Simulation) and experimental tools (Particle Image Velocimetry PIV technique). Numerical analyses cover both two-dimensional and three-dimensional configurations for different parameters using two differen...
Investigation of radiative heat transfer in freeboard of a 0.3 MWt AFBC test rig
Kozan, M; Selçuk, Nevin (2000-01-01)
Based on the analysis of measured data on flow rates, concentrations and temperatures taken during steady state operation of a lignite-fired 0.3 MWt Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustor (AFBC) test rig, radiative exchange in freeboard of the combustor was modeled by using a well-stirred enclosure model in conjunction with Radiosity-Irradiation Method (RIM). Radiative properties of the particle laden combustion gases were calculated by assuming grey radiation behaviour for both particles and gas, and using Le...
Numerical investigation of natural convection from vertical plate finned heat sinks
Çakar, Kamil Mert; Albayrak, Kahraman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009)
The steady-state natural convection from vertically placed rectangular fins is investigated numerically by means of a commercial CFD program called ICEPAK. The effects of geometric parameters of fin arrays on the performance of heat dissipation from fin arrays are examined. In order to simulate the different fin configurations and compare the results with literature, two experimental studies from literature are selected. Optimum fin spacing for both studies are found numerically and compared with experiment...
Numerical investigation of the effect of the Rushton type turbine design factors on agitated tank flow characteristics
Yapici, Kerim; Karasözen, Bülent; Schaefer, Michael; Uludağ, Yusuf (2008-08-01)
The turbulent flow field in a mixing tank generated by the six-blade Rushton turbine impeller is predicted by using computational fluid dynamics. The governing differential equations of the fluid flow are approximated by an algebraic set of equations through a finite volume method, while large eddy simulation is employed to handle the effects originating from the turbulence. The relative motion between the rotating impeller and the stationary baffle is considered by clicking mesh method. The effects of impe...
Computational study of subsonic flow over a delta canard-wing-body configuration
Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 1998-07-01)
Subsonic flowfields over a close-coupled, delta canard-wing-body configuration at angles of attack of 20, 24,2, and 30 deg are computed using the OVERFLOW Navier-Stokes solver Computed flowfields are presented in terms of particle traces, surface streamlines, and leeward-side surface pressure distributions for the canard-on and -off configurations. The interaction between the canard and the wing vortices, wing vortex breakdown, and the influence of the canard on vortex breakdown are identified, The comparis...
