This study uses a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach to simulate flows in Parshall flumes, which are used to measure flowrates in channels. The numerical results are compared with the experimental data, which show that choosing the right turbulence model, e.g., v2−f and LC, is the key element in accurately simulating Parshall flumes. The Standard Error of Estimate (SEE) values were very low, i.e., 0.76% and 1.00%, respectively, for the two models mentioned above. The Parshall flume used for this experiment is a good example of a hydraulic structure for which the design can be more improved by implementing a CFD approach compared with a laboratory (physical) modeling approach, which is often costly and time-consuming.

AbstractNumerical simulation using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method is one way of predicting airflow characteristics on the model. This method is widely used because it is relatively inexpensive and faster in getting desired results compared with performing direct testing. The correctness of a computational simulation output is highly dependent on the input and how it was processed. In this paper, simulation is done on Onera M6 Wing, to investigate the effect of a turbulence model’s application on the accuracy of the computational result. The choice of Onera M6 Wing as a simulation’s model is due to its extensive database of testing results from various wind tunnels in the world. Among Turbulence models used are Spalart-Allmaras, K-Epsilon, K-Omega, and SST.Keywords: CFD, fluent, Model, Turbulence, Onera M6, Spalart-Allmaras, K-Epsilon, K-Omega, SST.AbstraksSimulasi numerik dengan menggunakan metode Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) merupakan salah satu cara untuk memprediksi karakteristik suatu aliran udara yang terjadi pada model.

Honeycomb ceramic is the key component of the regenerative system. The numerical simulation was performed using FLUENT, a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, to compare simulation results to the test data. The regenerative process of a honeycomb ceramic regenerator was simulated under different conditions. Experiments were carried out on honeycomb regenerators that are contained in a methane oxidation reactor. The calculated temperatures of flue gas inlet were compared with the ones measured. The tendency of the temperature is the same as the experiment.

The main purpose of the paper is to use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in 3-D analysis of aerodynamic forces of a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) blade and compare the 3-D results with the 2-D experimental results. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Phase VI wind blade profile is used as a model for the analysis. The results are compared with the experimental data obtained by NREL at NASA Ames Research Center for the NREL Phase VI wind turbine blade. The aerodynamic forces are evaluated using 3-D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. The commercial ANSYS CFX and parameterized 3-D CAD model of NREL Phase VI are used for the analysis. The Shear Stress Transport (SST) Gamma-Theta turbulence model and 0-degree yaw angle condition are adopted for CFD analysis. For the case study seven varying wind speeds (5 m/s, 7 m/s, 10 m/s, 13 m/s, 15 m/s, 20 m/s, 25 m/s) with constant blade rotational speed (72 rpm) are considered. To evaluate the 3-D aerodynamic effect sectional pressure coefficient (Cp) and integrated forces about primary axis such as normal, tangential, thrust and torque are evaluated for each of the seven wind speed cases and compared with the NREL experimental values. The numerical difference of values on wind blade surface between this study and 3-D results of NREL wind tunnel test are found negligible. The paper represents an important comparison between the 3-D lift & drag coefficient with the NREL 2-D experimental data. The results shows that though the current study is in good agreement with NREL 3-D experimental values there is large deviation between the NREL 2-D experimental data and current 3-D study which suggests that in case of 3-D analysis of aerodynamic force of blade surface it is better to use NREL 3-D values instead of 2-D experimental values.

This paper aims to apply computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate air flow and air flow with water droplets, as a reasonable hypothesis for real flows, in order to evaluate a vertical separator vessel with inclined half-pipe inlet device (slope inlet). Thus, this type was compared to a separator vessel without inlet device (straight inlet). The results demonstrated a different performance for the two types in terms of air distribution and liquid removal efficiency.

The sales volume of vertical air conditioner in China mainland has developed rapidly. The researches in the field to the operation of vertical air conditioner are lacked since it is hardly to analyze different kinds of operating condition. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been applied in engineering with the advance of the computer science and technology. In this article, both temperature and air flow distributions were analyzed to a meeting room which putted a vertical air conditioner.
