Abstract: The influence of the location of the downstream boundary on unsteady incompressible flow solutions is investigated in a series of numerical experiments performed for flow past a circular cylinder at Reynolds number 100. ...

Abstract: We present a computational fluid mechanics technique for modeling of wave-energy air turbines, specifically the Wells turbine. In this type of energy conversion, the wave motion is converted to ...

Abstract: Concepts useful for the development of Mindlin plate elements are explored. Interpolatory schemes and nodal patterns which are ideal according to the proposed criteria are found to be somewhat ...

Abstract: A mixed‐time integration method that had been developed for the finite element analysis of structural and thermal dynamics has been implemented for the study of both steady and unsteady fluid mechanics problems. The method ...

Abstract: A finite element model is developed for the numerical simulation of a deep‐well wet‐oxidation reactor. The temperature distribution in the well‐earth system is investigated. The governing equations involved in the analysis ...

Abstract: A finite element model is developed for the numerical simulation of the start‐up of a deep‐well wet oxidation reactor using steam. The model is capable of handling different cases of start‐up, using saturated steam of ...

Abstract: A stabilization technique targeting the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations is proposed to account for the multiscale nature of turbulence and high solution gradients. The objective ...
