Abstract:

This thesis documents the application of a computer code developed by the author which makes possible the coupling of heat transfer between fluid and solid thermal models. The code was written using FORTRAN and couples the commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT with the Rolls-Royce finite element analysis program, SC03. The thermal modelling of a solid domain bounded by a fluid typically uses heat transfer correlations to define the heat flux at those boundaries. Considerable engineering judgement is required to appropriately select and apply these correlations, so that

Abstract:

This work extends a previously developed finite-volume overset-grid fluid flow solver to enable the characterisation of rigid-body-fluid interaction problems. To this end, several essential components have been developed and blended together. The inherent time-dependent nature of fluid-solid interaction problems is captured through the laminar transient incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for the fluid, and the Euler-Newton equations for rigid-body motion. First and second order accurate time discretisation schemes have been implemented for the former, whereas second and third order accurat

This thesis is devoted to understanding and modeling multimaterial interactions, and to develop accordingly a robust scheme taking into account the largest variety of those, with a particular interest in resolving solid/fluid configurations. This very general frame of studies can be tackled with numerous different approaches as several issues arise and need to be addressed before attempting any modelisation of these problems. A first questioning should be the frame of reference to be used for the materials considered. Eulerian shock-capturing schemes have advantages for modeling problems invol

Abstract:

Deformation of a porous medium due to the pressure applied by an interacting fluid passing through it is a phenomenon which occurs in a number of applications such as filtration and membrane separation processes. Mathematical modelling of these systems using porous medium theory has proved to be beneficial in the design of experiments and equipments as well as gaining better insight about multi-physics phenomenon such as combined fluid flow and solid deformation regimes. In the present work the interaction of fluid and porous solid medium has been studied.

Modelling gas-solid two-phase flows using a two-fluid approach has two main difficulties: formulating constitutive laws for the particulate stresses and modelling the gas turbulence modulation. Due to the complex nature of the gas-particle interactions, there is no universal model covering every flow regime. In this thesis, three flow regimes with distinctive characteristics are studied, i.e. the very dense regime where the solid volume fraction, <I>v</I><sub>2</sub>>5%, the dense flow regime where 5%≥1%, and the relatively dilute regime where 1%≥<I>v<sub>2</sub></I>>0.1%.

Abstract:

In most applications concerning a fluid flowing over a solid surface, the no-slip velocity condition was widely used because it is simple and produces the results in agreement with experiments. However, this dynamical boundary condition is not appropriate when the flow under consideration is at a micro or nano length scale.In order to model this effect at the macroscopic scale, the Navier boundary conditions have been introduced, with the slip length as a parameter. When the fluid is a gas, this length is related to the tangential momentum accommodation coefficient (TMAC) and the mean free pat

Settling phenomenon of solid particles immersed in a turbulent fluid has been investigated, in a condition of free-stream turbulence.

In order to define a new correlation for the evaluation of particles’ settling velocity, different literature correlations and parameters have been exploited.
