Simple Zero Dimensional Quasi-predictive Thermodynamic Simulation for Prediction of NOx for Diesel Combustion
(2017-05-31)
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is now a ubiquitous computational tool for engine design and analysis. It is often necessary to provide well-known initial cycle conditions to commence the CFD computations. Such initial ...
Investigation of Solution Verification and Validation of Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics Computational Fluid Dynamics Using Twin Rectangular Turbulent Jets
(2017-05-10)
The research and development of advanced nuclear reactors requires complementary experimental and computational approaches. These approaches are used in such a manner that experimental campaigns help validate computational ...
Spatial and Temporal Tracking of Pathogenic Bioaerosols in Beef Slaughter Facilities Using Dynamic Monitoring Techniques
(2017-04-25)
Salmonella and Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) have been recognized as pathogens of concern in meats due to the prevalence of this microorganism in the gastrointestinal tract and hide of livestock. Bacterial ingestion ...
A Computational Fluid Dynamic Evaluation of Unconfined Hydrogen Explosions in High Pressure Applications
(2017-12-06)
Over the last few decades, the demand for hydrogen has significantly grown. Its high energy content and relatively small environmental effect make it an ideal energy source and chemical feedstock. However, the perceived ...
Multi-Scale CFD Simulations of Momentum and Buoyancy Driven Flows in Nuclear Reactor Systems
(2017-07-25)
The present study focuses on the validation of the multi-scale CFD simulations for the nuclear systems. It is mainly divided into the three applications; First is the validation analysis of the large scale PANDA experiment ...
A Time-linearized Navier-Stokes Solver for Annular Gas Seal Rotordynamic Analysis
(2017-06-21)
A time-linearized CFD solver for analyzing rotordynamics of gas seals is presented offering an improvement over existing linearized CFD solvers. Previous linearized solvers required structured grids and axisymmetric domains, ...
Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of Non-Cohesive Sediment Transport in Open Channel Flow
(2017-07-11)
Predicting sediment transport has numerous implications in Civil Engineering and related fields. When there is excess sediment deposit in waterways, ships that move people and goods cannot navigate them. Loss of sediment ...
CFD Simulation for the Erosion on Electrical Submersible Pump Due to Viscosity and Air Presence
(2017-01-04)
There is a necessity to use artificial lift when the natural drive of oil is not strong enough to push the oil from the well bottom to the surface. Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) systems have been used far and wide by ...
Evaluation of Federal Reference Method PM10 Inlet for Sampling Large Particles
(2017-05-02)
Particulate matter (PM) is one of the six criteria pollutants regulated under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Regional compliance with PM NAAQS is monitored using networks of Federal Reference Method ...
CFD Simulation of Vortex-induced Vibration of Free-standing Hybrid Riser
(2017-04-18)
This thesis presents a 3D numerical simulation for a Free Standing Hybrid Riser under Vortex Induced Vibration, with prescribed motion on the top to replace the motion of the buoyancy can. The model is calculated using a ...
