Gasoline - the most common petroleum product comes in several types
or grades. Straight-run gasoline is generated solely by crude oil
distillation. Crack gasoline, derived by thermal or catalytic
breaking of heavier oil fractions, accounts for the majority of
gasoline used in automobile and aviation. Straight-run gasoline,
fractured gasoline, reformed and synthetic gasoline, and additives
are used to create a wide range of gasoline kinds.
This groundbreaking volume covers the significant advantages of
wave technologies in the development of innovative machine building
where high technologies with appreciable economic effect are
applied. These technologies cover many industries, including the
oil-and-gas industry, refining and other chemical processing,
petrochemical industry, production of new materials, composite and
nano-composites including, construction equipment, environmental
protection, pharmacology, power generation, and many others. The
technological problem of grinding, fine-scale grinding and
activation of solid particles (dry blends) is disclosed. This task
is common for the production of new materials across these various
industries. At present in this sphere the traditional methods have
reached their limits and in some cases are economically ineffective
from both scientific and practical points of view. The authors have
detailed, through their extensive groundbreaking research, how
these new methods, based on wave technology, can be used to create
new, more efficient and less expensive applications and materials
for industry. From increasing oil recovery to building stronger
machines more efficiently and creating more productive membrane
separation devices, wave technology can be used as a fertile ground
for product innovation and more efficient methods of production
across a variety of industries. This book is the only one of its
kind in the world and offers a unique and invaluable glance into
this sophisticated and complicated scientific area that is only now
being more fully utilized for its valuable benefits.
This book presents the stream-tube method (STM), a method offering
computational means of dealing with the two- and three-dimensional
properties of numerous incompressible materials in static and
dynamic conditions. The authors show that the kinematics and
stresses associated with the flow and deformation in such materials
can be treated by breaking the system down into simple
computational sub-domains in which streamlines are straight and
parallel and using one or two mapping functions in steady-state and
non-steady-state conditions. The STM is considered for various
problems in non-Newtonian fluid mechanics with different
geometries. The book makes use of examples and applications to
illustrate the use of the STM. It explores the possibilities of
computation on simple mapped rectangular domains and
three-dimensional parallel-piped domains under different
conditions. Complex materials with memory are considered simply
without particle tracking problems. Readers, including researchers,
engineers and graduate students, with a foundational knowledge of
calculus, linear algebra, differential equations and fluid
mechanics will benefit most greatly from this book.
This book includes select papers presented during the 16th Asian
Congress of Fluid Mechanics, held in JNCASR, Bangalore, and
presents the latest developments in computational, experimental and
theoretical research as well as industrial and technological
advances. This book is of interest to researchers working in the
field of fluid mechanics.
The first monograph to treat topological, group-theoretic, and
geometric problems of ideal hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics
from a unified point of view. It describes the necessary
preliminary notions both in hydrodynamics and pure mathematics with
numerous examples and figures. The book is accessible to graduates
as well as pure and applied mathematicians working in
hydrodynamics, Lie groups, dynamical systems, and differential
geometry.
Numerical Modeling of Water Waves, Second Edition covers all
aspects of this subject, from the basic fluid dynamics and the
simplest models to the latest and most complex, including the
first-ever description of techniques for modeling wave generation
by explosions, projectile impacts, asteroids, and impact
landslides. The book comes packaged with downloadable resources
that contain the computer codes and movies generated by the author
and his colleagues at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Mader's
three-pronged approach--through text, computer programs, and
animations--imparts a thorough understanding of new computational
methods and provides the tools to put those methods to effective
use.
This book contains a collection of the main contributions from the
third edition of the NICFD conference, organized by the Special
Interest Group on Non-Ideal Compressible Fluid Dynamics (SIG-49).
It provides insight on the latest research findings in the field of
NICFD that are relevant to a number of engineering applications
related to the conversion of renewable and waste energy sources,
like organic Rankine cycles, supercritical CO2 cycle power plants,
combustors operating with supercritical fluids, and heat pumps. The
various chapters of the book document research encompassing
theoretical, computational, and experimental aspects of the gas
dynamics of non-ideal reactive and non-reactive flows and their
impact for the design of internal flow components (turbomachinery,
heat exchangers, combustors). Since the accurate calculation of
fluid thermo-physical properties is of great concern in NICFD, all
the chapters address this problem by describing state-of-the-art
models for the characterization of the properties of pure fluids
and mixtures.
This book provides an elementary introduction to one-dimensional
fluid flow problems involving shock waves in air. The differential
equations of fluid flow are approximated by finite difference
equations and these in turn are numerically integrated in a
stepwise manner, with artificial viscosity introduced into the
numerical calculations in order to deal with shocks. This treatment
of the subject is focused on the finite-difference approach to
solve the coupled differential equations of fluid flow and presents
the results arising from the numerical solution using Mathcad
programming. Both plane and spherical shock waves are discussed
with particular emphasis on very strong explosive shocks in air.
This expanded second edition features substantial new material on
sound wave parameters, Riemann's method for numerical integration
of the equations of motion, approximate analytical expressions for
weak shock waves, short duration piston motion, numerical results
for shock wave interactions, and new appendices on the piston
withdrawal problem and numerical results for a closed shock tube.
This text will appeal to students, researchers, and professionals
in shock wave research and related fields. Students in particular
will appreciate the benefits of numerical methods in fluid
mechanics and the level of presentation.
This self-contained, interdisciplinary book encompasses
mathematics, physics, computer programming, analytical solutions
and numerical modelling, industrial computational fluid dynamics
(CFD), academic benchmark problems and engineering applications in
conjunction with the research field of anisotropic turbulence. It
focuses on theoretical approaches, computational examples and
numerical simulations to demonstrate the strength of a new
hypothesis and anisotropic turbulence modelling approach for
academic benchmark problems and industrially relevant engineering
applications. This book contains MATLAB codes, and C programming
language based User-Defined Function (UDF) codes which can be
compiled in the ANSYS-FLUENT environment. The computer codes help
to understand and use efficiently a new concept which can also be
implemented in any other software packages. The simulation results
are compared to classical analytical solutions and experimental
data taken from the literature. A particular attention is paid to
how to obtain accurate results within a reasonable computational
time for wide range of benchmark problems. The provided examples
and programming techniques help graduate and postgraduate students,
engineers and researchers to further develop their technical skills
and knowledge.

The book introduces modern high-order methods for computational
fluid dynamics. As compared to low order finite volumes predominant
in today's production codes, higher order discretizations
significantly reduce dispersion errors, the main source of error in
long-time simulations of flow at higher Reynolds numbers. A major
goal of this book is to teach the basics of the discontinuous
Galerkin (DG) method in terms of its finite volume and finite
element ingredients. It also discusses the computational efficiency
of high-order methods versus state-of-the-art low order methods in
the finite difference context, given that accuracy requirements in
engineering are often not overly strict. The book mainly addresses
researchers and doctoral students in engineering, applied
mathematics, physics and high-performance computing with a strong
interest in the interdisciplinary aspects of computational fluid
dynamics. It is also well-suited for practicing computational
engineers who would like to gain an overview of discontinuous
Galerkin methods, modern algorithmic realizations, and
high-performance implementations.
This book introduces the concept of unsteady aerodynamics and its
underlying principles. The author provides the readers with a
comprehensive review of the fundamental physics of free and forced
unsteadiness, the terminology and basic equations of aerodynamics
ranging from incompressible flow to hypersonics. The book also
covers modern topics related to the developments made in recent
years, especially in relation to wing flapping for propulsion. The
book is written for graduate and senior year undergraduate students
in aerodynamics and also serves as a reference for experienced
researchers. Each chapter includes ample examples, questions,
problems and relevant references. This 3rd edition includes a new
chapter about unsteady applications related to the thrust
optimization, aerodynamic stability and trim because there has been
much progress in unsteady applications of the flapping wing
technology. In addition, further material is presented in Appendix
for evaluating the stability derivatives so that no derivation of
equations is left incomplete but not overdone in the text.
