Abstract: The P1 model is often used to obtain approximate solutions of the radiative transfer equation for heat transfer in a participating medium. For large problems, the algebraic equations used to ...

Abstract: This paper describes in detail a new two‐dimensional transient model for the prediction of thermally stratified reservoir flows. Unlike many other reservoir models, the present model does not employ the hydrostatic ...

Abstract: The development of flow in a parallel-plate channel is determined by solving the two-dimensional, elliptic equations of motion for laminar flow. Cases involving blowing, suction, and no mass ...

Abstract: The degree of thermal stratification maintained in hot water storage tanks has a significant impact on the performance of a solar energy system. This paper presents an axisymmetric finite volume ...

Abstract: The k –ε turbulence model of Launder and Spalding has found widespread application in the computation of fluid flows. Under conditions of strong adverse pressure gradient or strong streamline ...

Abstract: A three‐dimensional model is presented that has been extensively used to predict the motion and mixing of thermal discharges entering lakes. The model uses a computational mesh that conforms to the bottom of the lake, the ...

Abstract: The SIMPLE method of Patankar and Spalding and its variants such as SIMPLER, SIMPLEC, and SIMPLEX are segregated methods for solving the discrete algebraic equations representing the equations ...

Abstract: This paper describes a method for calculating the shape of duct that leads to a prescribed pressure distribution on the duct walls. The proposed design method is computationally inexpensive, ...
