Computational fluid dynamics simulations for initially hydro-dynamically fully developed laminar flow with nanofluids in a circular duct under constant wall temperature condition are performed with two-phase mixture model by using Fluent software. Thermal behaviors of the system are investigated for constant wall temperature condition for Al2O3/water nanofluid. Hamilton–Crosser model and the Brownian motion effect are used for the thermal conductivity model of nanofluid instead of the Fluent default model for mixtures which gives extraordinary high thermal conductivity values and is valid for macro systems. Also, thermal conductivity and viscosity of the base fluid are taken as temperature dependent. The effects of nanoparticle volume fraction, nanoparticle size, and inlet Peclet number on the heat transfer enhancement are investigated. The results are compared with single-phase results which give slightly lower heat transfer coefficient values than the results of two-phase mixture model.

Numerical simulation of transient turbulent flow in a heated pipe Uygur, Ahmet Bilge; Selçuk, Nevin; Oymak, Olcay; Department of Chemical Engineering (2002) A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code based on direct numerical simulation (DNS) and the method of lines MOL approach developed previously for the solution of transient two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for turbulent, incompressible, internal, non-isothermal flows with constant wall temperature was applied to prediction of turbulent flow and temperature fields in flows dominated by forced convection in circular tubes with strong heating. Predictive ability of the code was tested by comparing its r...

Modeling of surge and swab pressure of yield power law fluids Erge, Öner; Akın, Serhat; Gücüyener, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2016) A mathematical modeling work and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of surge and swab pressures in concentric annuli is conducted. A commercial CFD package is used to validate the developed model of the flow during surge and swab in concentric annuli. Developed mathematical model incorporates the Yield Power Law (YPL) fluid behavior for closed-end pipes under laminar flow conditions. The results of the mathematical model and CFD analysis is compared with the models from literature. CFD analysis is ...
