Pore-Level Bénard–Marangoni Convection in Microgravity

P. Mohammadmoradi [1], A. Kantzas [1],
[1] University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada

Pore-level displacement of heavy-oil during thermal operations such as SAGD and CSS is a complex multi-scale phenomenon. As gravity drainage is the main depletion mechanism within the intergranular pore space, the surface tension-related phenomena are dominant in intra-granular micro ... Per saperne di più

COMSOL Multiphysics® Software Simulation Application for Thermoplastics Viscosity Measurement

Q. Guo [1], S. Ahmed [2],
[1] EHC Canada, Inc., Oshawa, ON, Canada
[2] University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Oshawa, ON, Canada

Present study discusses a new method of how to apply numerical simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics® software to improve the accuracy of polymer melts viscosity measurements. The main emphasis is placed on evaluating the effects of entrance and exit geometry of a capillary rheometer on ... Per saperne di più

Reynolds Number and Geometry Configuration Effect on Secondary Flows in S-Shaped Circular Bends

O. Ayala [1], M. F. Degenring Oliveira [2], P. Loures [2],
[1] Department of Engineering Technology, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA, USA
[2] Brazil Scientific Mobility Program, CAPES, Brasilia DF, Brazil

Reynolds Numbers effect: In the first bend, the higher the Reynolds number, the longer the first pair of vorticities stays attached to the wall. In the second bend, the higher Reynolds Numbers, the secondary flow from the first bend dominates. Curvature Radius effect: The smaller the ... Per saperne di più

Efficiency of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) with Airfoil Pitch Control

J. Ma [1], C. Koutsougeras [2], H. Luo [2],
[1] Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, TX, USA
[2] Southeastern Louisiana University, Hammond, LA, USA

In this work, the CFD Module of COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used to study the efficiency of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) with independently pivoting airfoils so that wind attack angles of these airfoils are adjustable. The work demonstrates how the efficiency of the VAWT is ... Per saperne di più

CFD Analysis of a Macroscale Ultrasonic Separator

K. Chitale [1], B. Lipkens [1, 2], W. Presz, Jr. [1],
[1] FloDesign Sonics Inc., Wilbraham, MA, USA
[2] Western New England University, Springfield, MA, USA

Macroscale ultrasonic separation is a new filtration technology, with various applications such as cell clarification, cell therapy, blood-lipid separation, oil-water separation etc. These systems use piezoelectric transducers to create standing waves in fluid-particle mixture. Suspended ... Per saperne di più

Simulation of a Dynamic Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger for Non-Newtonian Fluids

S. Birla [1],
[1] ConAgra Foods, Omaha, NE, USA

Scraped surface heat exchangers (SSHEs) are commonly used in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries for heat transfer, crystallization, and other continuous processes. One of the factor posing difficulties to heat transfer is viscosity. Highly viscous fluids tend to generate ... Per saperne di più

CFD Simulation of Pore Pressure Oscillation Method to Measure the Permeability of Tight Formations

M. Mokhtari [1], S. A. Madani [1], A. Seibi [1],
[1] Department of Petroleum Engineering, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, LA, USA

Accurate estimation of rock permeability and porosity play a crucial role in the evaluation of oil and gas reservoirs. This evaluation is, however, challenging in tight formations such as shale due to the slow transition of fluid in such formations with extremely-low permeability. To ... Per saperne di più

Equation-Based Modeling: Simulation of a Flow with Concentrated Vorticity in an Unbounded Domain

J. M. Russell [1],
[1] Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne, FL, USA

The velocity field of a fluid flow in an unbounded domain, R, in which the spin of fluid elements is nonzero only within a bounded subdomain, Ri---namely, the interior of a sphere of radius, a---is simulated by equation-based modeling. A change of independent variable motivated by Kelvin ... Per saperne di più

Study of Particle Collection Using Magnets

M. D. Cheng [1],
[1] Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, USA

Airborne particles or aerosols are an unstable system with distributed properties among its individual particulate members. Its fundamental property such as particle size, composition, electrical conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, and morphology could change in response to ... Per saperne di più
