Abstract: While we were discussing the rapid increase in Large Eddy Simulation (LES) papers submitted to the Journal of Fluids Engineering (JFE) several years ago, Joe Katz, the editor in chief of JFE, ...

Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has established itself as a viable technique for performing research and solving engineering problems, and when used correctly, can give accurate results for ...

Abstract: This paper presents an approach to quantify the discretization error as well as other errors related to mesh size using the error transport equation (ETE) technique on a single grid computation. ...

Abstract: Some unresolved problems related to Richardson extrapolation (RE) are elucidated via examples, and possible remedies are suggested. The method is applied to the case of turbulent flow past a ...

Abstract: A mathematical model is presented for calculating suspended sediment transport in unidirectional channel flow under general, nonequilibrium conditions. The model consists of a flexible hydrodynamic component for calculating ...

Abstract: A fairly simple correlation is formulated for calculating the suspended sediment‐transport capacity of open channel flow. The correlation is based on the assumption that the work performed by buoyancy force on the sediment ...

Abstract: Richardson extrapolation has been applied to turbulent pipe flow and turbulent flow past a backward facing step. A commercial CFD code is used for this purpose. It is found that the application ...

Abstract: As energy demands increase and the associated costs increase with that demand, newer energy alternatives are becoming more important to society. Although not new, fuel cell technology is taking ...
