Robert W. Lyczkowski
R5,463 Discovery Miles 54 630 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book tells the story of how the science of computational multiphase flow began in an effort to better analyze hypothetical light water power reactor accidents, including the "loss of coolant" accident. Written in the style of a memoir by an author with 40 years' engineering research experience in computer modeling of fluidized beds and slurries, multiphase computational fluid dynamics, and multiphase flow, most recently at Argonne National Laboratory, the book traces how this new science developed during this time into RELAP5 and other computer programs to encompass realistic descriptions of phenomena ranging from fluidized beds for energy and chemicals production, slurry transport, pyroclastic flow from volcanoes, hemodynamics of blood-borne cells, and flow of granular particulates. Such descriptions are not possible using the classical single-phase Navier-Stokes equations. Whereas many books on computational techniques and computational fluid dynamics have appeared, they do not trace the historical development of the science in any detail, and none touch on the beginnings of multiphase science. A robust, process-rich account of technologic evolution, the book is ideal for students and practitioners of mechanical, chemical, nuclear engineering, and the history of science and technology.

Stability and Suppression of Turbulence in Relaxing Molecular Gas Flows (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017): Yurii N. Grigoryev, Igor V.... Stability and Suppression of Turbulence in Relaxing Molecular Gas Flows (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017)
Yurii N. Grigoryev, Igor V. Ershov
R3,873 Discovery Miles 38 730 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book presents an in-depth systematic investigation of a dissipative effect which manifests itself as the growth of hydrodynamic stability and suppression of turbulence in relaxing molecular gas flows. The work describes the theoretical foundations of a new way to control stability and laminar turbulent transitions in aerodynamic flows. It develops hydrodynamic models for describing thermal nonequilibrium gas flows which allow the consideration of suppression of inviscid acoustic waves in 2D shear flows. Then, nonlinear evolution of large-scale vortices and Kelvin-Helmholtz waves in relaxing shear flows are studied. Critical Reynolds numbers in supersonic Couette flows are calculated analytically and numerically within the framework of both linear and nonlinear classical energy hydrodynamic stability theories. The calculations clearly show that the relaxation process can appreciably delay the laminar-turbulent transition. The aim of the book is to show the new dissipative effect, which can be used for flow control and laminarization. This volume will be of interest and useful to mechanical engineers, physicists, and mathematicians who specialize in hydrodynamic stability theory, turbulence, and laminarization of flows.

Computational Fluid Dynamics in Industrial Combustion (Hardcover): Vladimir Gershtein, Xianming Jimmy Li, Jr. Charles E. Baukal Computational Fluid Dynamics in Industrial Combustion (Hardcover)
Vladimir Gershtein, Xianming Jimmy Li, Jr. Charles E. Baukal
R7,203 Discovery Miles 72 030 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Although many books have been written on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and many written on combustion, most contain very limited coverage of the combination of CFD and industrial combustion. Furthermore, most of these books are written at an advanced academic level, emphasize theory over practice, and provide little help to engineers who need to use CFD for combustion modeling.

Computational Fluid Dynamics in Industrial Combustion fills this gap in the literature. Focusing on topics of interest to the practicing engineer, it codifies the many relevant books, papers, and reports written on this combined subject into a single, coherent reference. It looks at each topic from a somewhat narrow perspective to see how that topic affects modeling in industrial combustion. The editor and his team of expert authors address these topics within three main sections:

Modeling Techniques-The basics of CFD modeling in combustion
Industrial Applications-Specific applications of CFD in the steel, aluminum, glass, gas turbine, and petrochemical industries
Advanced Techniques-Subjects rarely addressed in other texts, including design optimization, simulation, and visualization

Rapid increases in computing power and significant advances in commercial CFD codes have led to a tremendous increase in the application of CFD to industrial combustion. Thorough and clearly representing the techniques and issues confronted in industry, Computational Fluid Dynamics in Industrial Combustion will help bring you quickly up to date on current methods and gain the ability to set up and solve the various types of problems you will encounter.
