Computational Fluid Dynamics

Computational Fluid Dynamics

Exploring new variations of classical methods as well as recent approaches appearing in the field Computational Fluid Dynamics demonstrates the extensive use of numerical techniques and mathematical models in fluid mechanics. It presents various numerical methods including finite volume finite difference finite element spectral smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) mixed-element-volume and free surface flow. Taking a unified point of view the book first introduces the basis of finite volume weighted residual and spectral approaches. The contributors present the SPH method a novel approach of computational fluid dynamics based on the mesh-free technique and then improve the method using an arbitrary Lagrange Euler (ALE) formalism. They also explain how to improve the accuracy of the mesh-free integration procedure with special emphasis on the finite volume particle method (FVPM). After describing numerical algorithms for compressible computational fluid dynamics the text discusses the prediction of turbulent complex flows in environmental and engineering problems. The last chapter explores the modeling and numerical simulation of free surface flows including future behaviors of glaciers. The diverse applications discussed in this book illustrate the importance of numerical methods in fluid mechanics. With research continually evolving in the field there is no doubt that new techniques and tools will emerge to offer greater accuracy and speed in solving and analyzing even more fluid flow problems.

Environmental Fluid Mechanics - Méchanique des Fluides Environnementaux

Environmental Fluid Mechanics - Méchanique des Fluides Environnementaux

Dams are planned constructed and operated to meet human needs - generation of energy irrigated agricultural production flood control public and industrial supply supply of drinking water and various other purposes. Dams impound water in reservoirs during times of high flood that can be used for human requirements during times with inadequate natural flows. Positive impacts of dams are improved flood control improved welfare resulting from new access to irrigation and drinking water. Without dams there would be insufficient food to feed the world’s people and energy would be generated by burning fossil fuels that produce greenhouse gases. Despite this progress there remain significant concerns about the environmental impacts of dams. These environmental impacts are complex and far reaching remote of the dam and may occur in time with the dam construction or later and may lead to a loss of biodiversity and of productivity of natural resources. This bulletin compiles improvements in knowledge and state of the art technology to avoid or mitigate environmental impacts of dams on the natural ecosystem as well as to the people that depend upon them for their livelihood and also addresses the mitigation of environmental impacts on dams and reservoirs. Les barrages sont planifiés construits et exploités de manière à répondre aux besoins humains. Les barrages retiennent l'eau dans les réservoirs pendant les périodes de forte crue une eau qui peut être utilisée pour les besoins de l'homme pendant les périodes d’insuffisance des débits naturels. Les impacts positifs de barrages sont le contrôle des crues et l'amélioration du bien-être résultant du nouvel accès à l'irrigation et à l'eau potable. Sans barrages la production alimentaire serait insuffisante pour nourrir la population du globe et l'énergie serait générée en brûlant des combustibles fossiles qui produisent des gaz à effet de serre. Malgré ces progrès d'importantes préoccupations subsistent quant aux retombées des barrages sur l’environnement. Les impacts environnementaux sont complexes et d’une grande portée. Ils peuvent se produire au moment de la construction du barrage ou plus tard et peuvent entraîner une perte de la biodiversité et de la productivité des ressources naturelles. Le présent bulletin compile l'amélioration des connaissances et des technologies les plus récentes pour éviter ou atténuer les impacts environnementaux des barrages sur l'écosystème naturel ainsi que pour les personnes qui en dépendent pour leur subsistance. Il aborde également l'atténuation des impacts environnementaux sur les barrages et les réservoirs. | Environmental Fluid Mechanics - Méchanique des Fluides Environnementaux

Self-Similarity and Beyond Exact Solutions of Nonlinear Problems

Self-Similarity and Beyond Exact Solutions of Nonlinear Problems

Nonlinearity plays a major role in the understanding of most physical chemical biological and engineering sciences. Nonlinear problems fascinate scientists and engineers but often elude exact treatment. However elusive they may be the solutions do exist-if only one perseveres in seeking them out. Self-Similarity and Beyond presents a myriad of approaches to finding exact solutions for a diversity of nonlinear problems. These include group-theoretic methods the direct method of Clarkson and Kruskal traveling waves hodograph methods balancing arguments embedding special solutions into a more general class and the infinite series approach. The author's approach is entirely constructive. Numerical solutions either motivate the analysis or confirm it therefore they are treated alongside the analysis whenever possible. Many examples drawn from real physical situations-primarily fluid mechanics and nonlinear diffusion-illustrate and emphasize the central points presented. Accessible to a broad base of readers Self-Similarity and Beyond illuminates a variety of productive methods for meeting the challenges of nonlinearity. Researchers and graduate students in nonlinearity partial differential equations and fluid mechanics along with mathematical physicists and numerical analysts will re-discover the importance of exact solutions and find valuable additions to their mathematical toolkits. | Self-Similarity and Beyond Exact Solutions of Nonlinear Problems

Vapor Compression Heat Pumps with Refrigerant Mixtures

Vapor Compression Heat Pumps with Refrigerant Mixtures

Amidst tightening requirements for eliminating CFC’s HCFC’s halons and HFC’s from use in air conditioning and heat pumps the search began for replacements that are environmentally benign non-flammable and similar to the banned refrigerants in system-level behavior. Refrigerant mixtures are increasingly used as working fluids because they demonstrate desirable thermodynamic feasibility and safety characteristics. Vapor Compression Heat Pumps with Refrigerant Mixtures provides the first comprehensive single-source treatment of working fluid mixtures and their applications in vapor compression systems. The authors explain in detail the thermodynamics of refrigerant mixtures which is vastly more complex than that of individual refrigerants as well as the fundamentals of various refrigeration cycles and methods for improving their efficiency. They also include important discussions on heat transfer and pressure drop correlations experimental performance measurements and examples of using refrigerants and their mixtures and critical operational issues such as control issues refrigerant mixing and mass fraction shifts. Assembling reviews of the scattered literature on the subject and reflecting two decades of research by the authors Vapor Compression Heat Pumps with Refrigerant Mixtures prepares you to design and implement systems that take the best advantage of fluid mixtures confronting the challenges and grasping the opportunities that they present.
