Timber is one of the most used materials for roofing of ice arena because of its very good mechanical properties and low weight. High relative humidity of internal air, low temperature and ice rink presence, which cause ...

The decelerated swirling flow often breaks down into helical structure which is unstable and causes unsteady velocity and pressure fields. The numerical and experimental investigation of this flow pattern is carried out ...

Modelling of the flow in the cavities between a rotor and a stator is a task of great engineering interest. Correctly evaluated pressure and velocity field enables calculation of the disk losses and therefore assessment ...

This paper compares 2D axisymmetric and 3D numerical models used to predict the internal flow of a pressure-swirl atomizer using a commercial software Ansys Fluent 18.1. The computed results are compared with experimental ...

Article deals with numerical simulations and its verification by experiments in trachea of idealized geometry of tracheobronchial airways by using unsteady RANS approach. Respiratory cycle was simulated by sinusoidal ...

In the past decade, the condensation of internal air humidity in automotive headlamps has become more prevalent than ever due to the increased usage of a new light source—LEDs. LEDs emit far less heat than previously-used ...

The simulations of high head Francis turbine model (Tokke) are performed for three operating conditions - Part Load, Best Efficiency Point (BEP) and Full Load using software Ansys Fluent R15 and alternatively OpenFOAM ...

Contribution is focused on modification of low-specific speed pump impellers with respect to stability of their Y-Q curves (i.e. head curves). The design modifications are driven by analysis of the dissipated power. First, ...

Efficiency of reciprocating compressor is strongly dependent on several parameters. The most important are valve behaviour and heat transfer. Valves affect the flow through the suction and discharge line. Heat flow from ...

Respiratory system represents relatively large system of gradually branching channels which can be hardly solved by numerical simulations. Nowadays, research in this area is focused to solve problems in selected parts of ...
