    Abstract: This study aims to investigate the effect of the computational domain on aerodynamic characteristics of the flow around a Savonius wind rotor. For thus, we have developed a numerical simulation using CFD code. The considered numerical model is based on the resolution of the Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the standard k-ε turbulence mod... Show More

    Abstract: Two-dimensional steady-state buoyancy driven flows of thermo-dependent shear-thinning power-law fluid confined in a square cavity, submitted to cross uniform heat fluxes, has been conducted numerically using a finite difference technique. The parameters governing the problem are the thermo-dependence number m (0≤m≤10) and the ratio between the heat... Show More

    Abstract: In this paper, numerical simulations of nucleate boiling flow bubble pumps are conducted with the commercial CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) package ANSYS-FLUENT. The Eulerian multiphase flow framework model was used to model the phase’s interaction. User-Defined Functions (UDFs) are provided to compute the wall heat transfer and to calculate in... Show More
