For that, we subject the cylinder external with a constant parietal heat flow. The numerical resolution of this system related to their limited conditions was carried out by the finite differences method making it possible to simulate the radiative effect in the annular cylindrical space. Therefore, the aim of our study is to recreate at low-temperature, radiative effects being able to improve the heat transfers in flow patterns (parallel plates and annular cylindrical spaces), representative of the ones seen in electronics or electrotechnics. The results obtained show the absorption of the black body introduced for various positions of the intermediate wall.

The application case is unsteady natural convection inside a closed differentially heated cavity (L=1m, H=0.24) with a thin fin adjacent to the heated wall. For comparison purpose, three cases are considered. The first one is a classical differentially heated cavity, which will be used as reference case. The second and the third cases are mounted with a thin fin at the hot sidewall. The fin is respectively adiabatic and conducting. Only the early unsteady stage (up to 10 seconds) is presented in the present paper. Temporal development and spatial flow structures in the vicinity of the fin are presented and shows clearly the improvement of heat transfer rate for the conducting fin case.

Research paper thumbnail of Modelled NO2 tropospheric columns at different resolutions versus OMI satellite data: analysis of a 1-year BOLCHEM simulation over Europe

Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health, Jan 23, 2015

Model output is compared to ozone monitoring instrument (OMI) data from the Tropospheric Emission Monitoring Internet Service (TEMIS) over Europe for the year 2007. European hot-spots (Po Valley and BeNeLux) are simulated at finer resolution and analysed separately, along with the area of Gibraltar. Standard statistical analysis reveals good model performances, even in highly polluted regions, with spatial correlation 0.90 for the whole of Europe, 0.74 for the Po Valley, 0.85 for BeNeLux and 0.79 for Gibraltar. Seasonal analysis shows some dependency on time, with lowest scores in winter, when the satellite product also suffers weaker statistical significance due to the presence of clouds. The increase in resolution is found to affect the spatial correlation more the Po Valley (+23 %) than in BeNeLux (+5 %). This difference is likely to depend on the very different meteorology of the two hot-spots.

This problem is solved by using the partial differential equations, which are the vorticity transport, heat transfer and stream function in curvilinear coordinates. The tests were performed for different inclination angles, amplitudes and Rayleigh numbers while the Prandtl number was kept constant. Two geometrical configurations were used namely one and three undulations. The results obtained show that the hot wall undulation affects the flow and the heat transfer rate in the cavity. The mean Nusselt number decreases comparing with the square cavity. The trend of the local heat transfer is wavy. The frequency of the latter is different from the undulated wall frequency.

Research paper thumbnail of Improving cooling effectiveness by use of chamfers on the top of electronic components

Targeting an electronic cooling configuration, the aim is to investigate the effect of geometrical modification of the component on the cooling effectiveness. For the same cross flow Reynolds number Re H = 3410, three levels of impinging jets are computed as well as a case without impinging jet that will serve as baseline case for comparison. The results from the RANS computation are compared to experimental data from published scientific literature. The validation shows qualitatively good agreement and almost all flow structures are well reproduced by the computation. In an attempt to optimize the wall heat flux over the cube surface, a new geometry is proposed without sharp corners on the top cube face. Numerical results show that with minor geometrical modification (chamfer), the fluid flow structure around the electronic component is radically transformed and the heat transfer rate can be improved. The highest cooling effectiveness improvement is realize for the highest Reynolds number ratio Re j /Re H = 1.5 and for the chamfer height of 4 mm.

Numerical investigation model is used in this paper, to examine two methods of passive control within a crossing under building and Low Boundary Wall in center of road for reducing air pollution concentration using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and the k-Epsilon turbulence model as close of the equation system. The results of this investigation show that a low boundary wall located at the central median of the street canyon creates a significant reduction in pedestrian exposure, relative to the same canyon with no wall. The magnitude of the exposure reduction was also found to vary according to the numbers of the crossing under building in the street canyon geometry. The values of the concentration normalized is decreased in the critical region were located in the centerline of the street canyon.

Research paper thumbnail of Reynolds Number Effect on the Flow Demeanorin a Vertical Circular Free Turbulent Jet with Cross Flow

Five turbulence models of the RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes) approach were tested and the k -ω SST model was chosen to validate CFD results with the experimental data. Average velocity profiles, velocity and turbulent kinetic energy contours and streamlines are presented for four case configurations. In the first three cases, the following parameters have been varied: Reynolds number at the level of the two jets ( ), wind velocity at the level of the cross-flow ( ), and the distance between the two jets (S = 45mm, 90mm and 135mm). In the last case, a new configuration of the phenomenon not yet studied so far was treated, where horizontal cross-flows were introduced from both sides in order to simulate gusts of wind disrupting a VSTOL aircraft which tries to operate close to the ground. This case was carried out for Reynolds number based on the crossflow of 4 104, 10 104 and 20 104 .The numerical results obtained show that the deflection of the jets is minimal when the Reynolds number at the level of the jets is greater than that of the cross-flow. The increase of Reynolds number at the level of the cross-flow reveals a significant deviation of the two jets with an intensity which always remains less for the second jet. As for the space parameter between the two jets, it turns out that the fact of further spacing the two jets makes the first jet even more vulnerable and leads to a greater deflection. Finally, the simulation of the wind gusts from the front and the back caused a zone of turbulence which resulted from a form of "interlacing" of the two jets under the effect of the transverse current imposed by the two sides.

Ce concept d'anti-vortex est développé et étudié au centre de recherche de la NASA Glenn. Il est conçu pour atténuer les effets contre-rotatifs qui sont la cause de la réduction de l'efficacité de refroidissement par film au taux d'injections élevés. Cette conception d'antivortex consiste en deux trous secondaires de refroidissement à côté du trou principal. Ces deux trous sont légèrement en aval du point central du trou principal de telle façon que l'injection secondaire détruit le deux vortex contra rotatif (Kidney Vorticies). L'avantage de cette conception est la réduction des vorticités indésirables et l'amélioration de l'efficacité du refroidissement par film. Cette investigation d'anti-vortex est réalisée par un code commercial résolvant les équations de Navier-Stokes et l'équation de l'énergie moyennant la méthode des volumes finis (ANSYS CFX 12.0). Le domaine de calcul est discrétisé en utilisant un maillage hexa incluant la partie refroidie, les trous d'injection et la boite d'alimentation. La turbulence est résolue avec le modèle de premier ordre SST. Deux configurations géométriques combinées avec des taux d'injections élevés et des rapports de masse volumiques variables sont considérés. Il a été trouvé que les trous latéraux améliorent la performance du refroidissement à travers tous le domaine de calcul. Les résultats numériques des trous équipés de la conception d'anti-vortex sont comparés avec le cas de base où l'injection se fait à travers un seul trou rond Sinha et al. (1991). Les résultats numériques montrent aussi une amélioration prometteuse dans tous les aspects thermo-fluide.
