A numerical work has been conducted to examine laminar flow and heat transfer characteristics in a two-dimensional isothermal-fluxed circular-duct fitted horizontal with finned tapes. The computations are based on the ...

The experimental friction factor and Nusselt number data for laminar flow through a circular duct having integral axial rib roughness and fitted with helical screw-tape inserts have been presented. Predictive friction ...

Owing to its importance in industrial applications, many studies investigated mixed convective flow through vertical tubes. These studies usually considered tubes with relatively large diameters and short lengths. The ...

Swimming in micro/nano domains is a challenge and involves a departure from standard methods of propulsion, which are effective at macrodomains. Flagella based propulsion is seen extensively in nature and has been proposed ...

The numerical investigation on developing unsteady laminar fluid flow and heat transfer inside a 2D wavy microchannel, due to sinusoidal varying velocity component at inlet is done. The thermohydraulic flow was developing ...

Here we provide an overview of some of the most commonly used turbulence models used in current CFD modeling. We compare the governing equations, applications of use, and results between the models. Finally, we provide our ...
