Abstract: A finite-difference scheme is used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for the steady flow inside and outside viscous spheres in a fluid of different properties. Hence, the hydrodynamic force ...

Abstract: In a recent paper by Michaelides and Feng (1994) it was discovered that there are history terms in the unsteady heat conduction equation from a small sphere. The history terms are analogous ...

Abstract: The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is used to simulate the particle resuspension process in a two-dimensional simple shear flow. At first, the lift force on a single disk-shaped particle attached at the channel wall is ...

Abstract: Particle collisions with the walls are very important in understanding the fluid-particle behavior near the walls and determining the boundary conditions of the particulate phases in two-fluid ...

Abstract: The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system has been widely used in the automotive and heavy-duty trucks to reduce NOx , SOx , and other controlled emissions. A liquid-cooled or air-cooled heat ...
