Hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics of nanofluids in uniformly heated 2-D and axi-symmetric passages

In the present paper, the effects of adding nanoscale metallic particles on the hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics of laminar liquid flow (water and ethylene glycol) through two-dimensional and axi-symmetric passages are numerically investigated. The present numerical results are obtained using a 2D finite-volume code which solves the...

Numerical study of turbulent flow around a square cylinder using low-Reynolds-number k-e model

This paper discusses the abilities of two different low-Reynolds-number eddy-viscosity models in resolving the complex physical features that arises in turbulent flows around a square cylinder at Re=22000. For the modeling of turbulence, the Launder & Sharma (LS) [1] and Kawamura & Kawashima (KK) [2] low-Re models have been employed. The present...
