TRANSIENT ANALYSIS ON 3D DROPLET OVER HORIZONTAL SURFACE UNDER SHEAR FLOW WIT...P singh
The document discusses transient analysis of a 3D liquid droplet on a horizontal surface under shear flow using computational fluid dynamics. A finite volume method with volume of fluid modeling is used to simulate the droplet shape change and movement. Six cases are studied including variations in droplet size, contact angle, fluid properties, and inlet air velocity. Results show the droplet dynamics and acquired velocity depend on these boundary conditions and external effects. The study provides insights into controlling droplet movement for applications like micro pumps and coating devices.
The document discusses boundary layer concepts and applications including:
1) Boundary layer thicknesses such as displacement thickness and momentum thickness.
2) The exact solution of laminar flow over a flat plate including the governing equations and Blasius solution.
3) Using the momentum integral equation to estimate boundary layer thickness for flows with zero pressure gradient, comparing laminar and turbulent flow results.
4) Drag concepts including friction drag on flat plates and pressure drag on spheres and cylinders, and how streamlining can reduce pressure drag.
5) Lift concepts including characteristics of airfoils and induced drag.
This document summarizes a numerical investigation into the effects of roughness on near-bed turbulence characteristics in oscillatory flows. Direct numerical simulations were performed for two particle sizes corresponding to large gravel and small sand particles. A double-averaging technique was used to study the wake field spatial inhomogeneities introduced by the roughness. Preliminary results showed additional production and transport terms in the double-averaged Reynolds stress budgets, indicating alternate turbulent energy transfer pathways. Budgets of normal Reynolds stress components revealed redistribution of energy from the streamwise to other components due to pressure work. The large gravel particles significantly modulated near-bed flow structures and isotropization, while elongated horseshoe structures formed for the sand case due to high shear.

Effect of mainstream air velocity on velocity profile over a rough flat surfaceijceronline
1) The document discusses an experiment that measured the velocity profile over a rough flat surface at different locations along the surface (sections) and with varying mainstream air velocities.
2) The results showed that at a given location, velocity increased with increasing mainstream velocity. Additionally, boundary layer thickness increased with distance from the leading edge but decreased with increasing mainstream velocity.
3) In conclusion, the velocity over the rough surface was significantly influenced by the incoming air velocity, and boundary layer thickness varied inversely with mainstream velocity but directly with distance from the leading edge.
Modeling the combined effect of surface roughness and shear rate on slip flow...Nikolai Priezjev
Molecular dynamics MD and continuum simulations are carried out to investigate the influence of shear rate and surface roughness on slip flow of a Newtonian fluid. For weak wall-fluid interaction energy, the nonlinear shear-rate dependence of the intrinsic slip length in the flow over an atomically flat surface is computed by MD simulations. We describe laminar flow away from a curved boundary by means of the effective slip length defined with respect to the mean height of the surface roughness. Both the magnitude of the effective slip length and the slope of its rate dependence are significantly reduced in the presence of periodic surface roughness. We then numerically solve the Navier-Stokes equation for the flow over the rough surface using the rate-dependent intrinsic slip length as a local boundary condition. Continuum simulations reproduce the behavior of the effective slip length obtained from MD simulations at low shear rates. The slight discrepancy between MD and continuum results at high shear rates is explained by examination of the local velocity profiles and the pressure distribution along the wavy surface. We found that in the region where the curved boundary faces the mainstream flow, the local slip is suppressed due to the increase in pressure. The results of the comparative analysis can potentially lead to the development of an efficient algorithm for modeling rate dependent slip flows over rough surfaces.
This document provides an overview of fluid kinematics concepts including:
1. The types of fluid flow are defined such as real vs ideal, laminar vs turbulent, steady vs unsteady, uniform vs non-uniform, and one, two, and three dimensional flows.
2. Fluid kinematics variables like velocity, acceleration, and pressure fields are introduced. Streamlines, streamtubes, vorticity, and circulation are also defined.
3. The conservation of mass principle (continuity equation) is presented for one, two, and three dimensional steady and unsteady compressible/incompressible flows.

Flow nets provide a graphical representation of solutions to the Laplace equation for two-dimensional seepage. A flow net consists of two orthogonal sets of curves: equipotential lines connecting points of equal total head, and flow lines indicating the direction of seepage. The space between adjacent flow lines is called a flow channel. If the fields of a flow net are square (have equal dimensions) it is called a square flow net, where the rate of flow is equal between each channel. The number of flow channels and equipotential line drops determine the total flow rate according to Darcy's law.
This document discusses in situ rock stresses and induced stresses from excavation. It describes how vertical stress increases with depth and horizontal stress varies with a coefficient and can be modeled.

Ultra sonic pulse velocity test for concrete as nondestructive test method in...Mohammed Layth
Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) testing provides non-destructive evaluation of concrete by transmitting ultrasonic pulses through the material. The pulse velocity is dependent on concrete density and elastic properties, which relate to quality and compressive strength. UPV can detect voids, cracks, and defects by measuring the time it takes pulses to travel between transducers placed on the surface. Well-trained operators using modern UPV equipment can reliably examine concrete interior and determine properties like uniformity, cracking, strength, layer thickness, and elastic modulus. However, UPV has limitations and cannot replace destructive testing.
Calculation of Fluid Dynamic for Wind Flow around Reinforced Concrete WallsIJERA Editor
A study on the flow phenomena around free-standing walls is important in practical building construction. In the present paper a numerical study is conducted for two- dimensional incompressible steady flow around freestanding walls using low-Re k-co turbulence model. The separation regions downstream the wall and on the roof of the leeward were predicted. Finally, results of numerical simulation are presented in the form of velocity vectors, velocity contour, pressure contours and streamlines
- The authors model strain below strike-slip faults like the San Andreas Fault to understand seismic anisotropy observations. They use finite element models to calculate strain ellipsoids under different lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary conditions.
- Strain ellipsoids align with fault motion near the boundary and deeper mantle flow at depth. Variable lithosphere thickness causes asymmetric ellipsoid orientations across thickness changes.
- Ellipsoid stretching is greatest near faults for uniform viscosity, and in low viscosity layers for variable viscosity, approximating the combined effects of boundary conditions. Variations help explain anisotropy observations near and far from faults.

From Mainframe to Microservice: An Introduction to Distributed SystemsTyler Treat
An introductory overview of distributed systems—what they are and why they're difficult to build. We explore fundamental ideas and practical concepts in distributed programming. What is the CAP theorem? What is distributed consensus? What are CRDTs? We also look at options for solving the split-brain problem while considering the trade-off of high availability as well as options for scaling shared data.

HBase Replication has come a long way since its inception in HBase 0.89 almost four years ago. Today, master-master and cyclic replication setups are supported; many bug fixes and new features like log compression, per-family peers configuration, and throttling have been added; and a major refactoring has been done. This presentation will recap the work done during the past four years, present a few use cases that are currently in production, and take a look at the roadmap.
A state machine is a system that can be described by a set of states that the system transitions through. It has a set of inputs, outputs, and memory. There are two main types - Mealy machines where the output is a function of the state and inputs, and Moore machines where the output is only a function of the state. To design a state machine, you first understand the problem, draw a state diagram, reduce states if possible, assign states, and design the circuit from the state table. An example is a serial adder where each bit is added sequentially using states to track the carry.

This document summarizes a study investigating fluid flow through two-dimensional sudden expansions and contractions. The study uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate fluid flow through axisymmetric geometries with varying diameter ratios and Reynolds numbers. Results are presented on flow characteristics like recirculation zones, reattachment lengths, and vortex strengths. Validation is provided by comparing simulations to experimental particle image velocimetry data.

This document summarizes an investigation of Newtonian fluid flow through a two-dimensional sudden expansion and sudden contraction flow passage. The study uses computational fluid dynamics to simulate fluid flow through axisymmetric sudden contraction and sudden expansion geometries. It compares flow characteristics like recirculation zone size, reattachment length, and recirculating flow strength between sudden contraction and sudden expansion flows. The effects of varying parameters like Reynolds number, expansion/contraction ratio, and flow direction are explored to understand flow behavior in these geometries.

Velocity was found to decrease with increasing diverging angle and distance from the channel centerline.
A Computational Analysis of Flow StructureThrough Constant Area S-DuctIJERA Editor
This paper presents the results of an experimental work with measurement of mean velocity contours in 2-D form and validation of the same with numerical results based on the y+ approach at fully developed flow for various turbulent models like, k-ε model, k-ω model, RNG k-ε model and Reynolds Stress Model (RSM), are used to solve the problem. All the turbulence models are studied in the commercial CFD code of Fluent. The experiment is carried out at mass averaged mean velocity of 40m/s and the geometry of the duct is chosen as rectangular cross-section of 45°/45° curved constant area S-duct. In the present paper the computational results obtained from the different turbulence models are compared with the experimental results. In addition to this for validation of the numerical simulation near wall treatments for fully developed flow or log-law region are also investigated for wall 30<y+><300 in the region where turbulent shear dominates. It is concluded from the present study that the mesh resolving the fully turbulent region is sufficiently accurate in terms of qualitative features. Here RSM turbulence model predicts the best results while comparing with the experimental results.RSM model also predicts the flow properties more consistently because it accounts for grid independence test.
This project aims at simulating lid driven cavity flow problem using package MATLAB. Steady Incompressible Navier-Stokes equation with continuity equation will be studied at various Reynolds number. The main aim is to obtain the velocity field in steady state using the finite difference formulation on momentum equations and continuity equation. Reynold number is the pertinent parameter of the present study. Taylor’s series expansion has been used to convert the governing equations in the algebraic form using finite difference schemes.

2. Experiments were conducted on a rectangular C-duct cross-section to measure mean velocity and total pressure. Computational fluid dynamics simulations using various turbulence models were performed and compared to experimental results.
3. The RSM turbulence model showed the best agreement with experimental measurements of mean velocity contours at the duct outlet, accurately predicting the shift of bulk velocity toward the outer wall due to secondary flow effects.
This project simulated the flow of granular particles down an inclined plane using molecular dynamics simulation software. Simulations were run for a range of inclination angles and system sizes. Results showed the kinetic energy, velocity, and packing fraction profiles agreed with previous research. Some limitations were encountered with system size, particle properties, and boundary conditions that require further investigation. The consistency with previous work validates the simulation model, while deviations at certain angles point to needs for improved understanding.

2. It develops governing equations for the fluid flow using the Navier-Stokes equations and introduces dimensionless variables and a perturbation method.
3. It presents results showing that increasing the magnetic field increases the fluid velocity, while increasing the channel height decreases the velocity at a constant Reynolds number and slip coefficient. Graphs demonstrate how the fluid velocity profiles vary with changing magnetic field.
This document summarizes a numerical simulation study of flow past a circular cylinder in a channel at varying ratios of tunnel height to cylinder diameter (H/D). Two computational fluid dynamics codes, 3D PURLES and OpenFOAM, were used to simulate the flow at a Reynolds number of 40. The simulations showed a decrease in wake length and a shift of flow separation downstream at smaller H/D ratios. Grid resolution and H/D ratios from 2-30 were investigated. The results from both codes were consistent and confirmed the effects of tunnel walls in changing flow characteristics around the cylinder.
A Computational Investigation of Flow Structure Within a Sinuous DuctIJERA Editor
In the present investigation the distribution of mean velocity are experimentally studied on three constant area
rectangular curved ducts with an aspect ratio of 2.4. First one is C-shape, second one is S-shape and third one
is a DS-shape duct. The experiment is carried out at mass averaged mean velocity of 40m/s for all the ducts.
The velocity distribution shows for C-duct, the bulk flow shifting from outer wall to the inner wall along the
flow passage and for S-duct, the bulk flow shifting from outer wall to the inner wall in the first half and from
inner wall to the outer wall in the second half along the flow passage of curved ducts are very instinct. Due to
the imbalance of centrifugal force and radial pressure gradient, secondary motions in the forms of counter
rotating vortices have been generated within both the curved duct. For DS-duct the velocity distributions shows
the Bulk of flow shifting from inner watt to outer wall in the first bend and third bend of the duct and outer wall
to inner wall in the second bend and forth bend of the duct along the flow passage is very instinct. Flow at end
of the DS-duct is purely uniform in nature due to non existence of secondary motion. The experimental results
then were numerically validated with the help of Fluent, which shows a good agreement between the
experimental and predicted results for all the ducts
TRANSIENT ANALYSIS OF PIEZOLAMINATED COMPOSITE PLATES USING HSDTP singh
Piezoelectric materials have excellent sensing and actuating capabilities have made them the most practical smart materials to integrate with laminated structures. Integrated structure system can be called a smart structure because of its ability to perform self-diagnosis and quick adaption to environment changes. An analytical procedure has been developed in the work based on higher order shear deformation theory subjected to electromechanical loading for investigating transient characteristics of smart material plates. For analysis two displacement models are to be considered i.e., model-1 accounts for strain in thickness direction is zero whereas in model-2 in-plane displacements are expanded as cubic functions of the thickness coordinate. Navier’s technique has been adopted for obtaining solutions of anti-symmetric cross–ply and angle-ply laminates of both model-1 and model-2 with simply supported boundary conditions. For obtaining transient response of a laminated composite plate attached with piezoelectric layer Newmark’s method has been used. Effect of thickness coordinate of composite laminated plates attached with piezoelectric layer subjected to electromechanical loadings is studied.
THE EFFECTS OF UNIFORM TRANSVERSE MAGNETIC FIELD ON LOCAL FLOW AND VELOCITY P...IAEME Publication
A numerical model studied the effects of uniform transverse magnetic field for two fluids (pure water and water with electric conductivity), two different non-magnetizable duct and two flow velocities (steady flow for laminar and incompressible) was examined and The results showed an increase in the magnetic field caused a decrease in the local flow and effected on velocity profile. The result also showed that the water with electrical conductivity more affected than pure water.
LATTICE BOLTZMANN SIMULATION OF NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID FLOW IN A LID DRIVEN CAVITY IAEME Publication
Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is used to simulate the lid driven cavity flow to explore the mechanism of non-Newtonian fluid flow. The power law model is used to represent the class of non-Newtonian fluids (shear-thinning and shear-thickening fluids) by considering a range of 0.8 to 1.6. Investigation is carried out to study the influence of power law index and Reynolds number on the variation of velocity profiles and streamlines plots. Velocity profiles and the streamline patterns
for various values of power law index at Reynolds numbers ranging 100 to 3200 are presented. Half way bounce back boundary conditions are employed in the numerical method.
This document is a lecture on fluid mechanics covering topics such as laminar flow through pipes, Stoke's law, the transition from laminar to turbulent flow, types of turbulent flow including wall turbulent shear flow and isotropic turbulence, the eddy viscosity hypothesis, turbulent flow in smooth and rough pipes, minor losses in pipes, pipes arranged in series and parallel, siphons, and water hammer. It was authored by Mr. Md Ateeque Khan, an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Jahangirabad Institute of Technology, Barabanki for the subject of fluid mechanics.

The document summarizes an experimental study on the effect of aspect ratio on the near-field dynamics of submerged rectangular turbulent jets interacting with a free surface. Planar particle image velocimetry was used to measure the velocity fields of jets with aspect ratios of 1, 2, and 4 at a fixed offset from the free surface. The study found that higher aspect ratio jets evolved more quickly into free surface jets, with the aspect ratio 2 jet exhibiting the fastest centerline velocity decay. Turbulence intensities were highest for the aspect ratio 2 jet in the near-field but decreased below the aspect ratio 4 jet in the far-field. The impingement point where the jet attached to the free surface occurred between 8-12
