Advances in scientific computing have made modelling and simulation an important part of the decision-making process in engineering, science, and public policy. This book provides a comprehensive and systematic development of the basic concepts, principles, and procedures for verification and validation of models and simulations. The emphasis is placed on models that are described by partial differential and integral equations and the simulations that result from their numerical solution. The methods described can be applied to a wide range of technical fields, from the physical sciences, engineering and technology and industry, through to environmental regulations and safety, product and plant safety, financial investing, and governmental regulations. This book will be genuinely welcomed by researchers, practitioners, and decision makers in a broad range of fields, who seek to improve the credibility and reliability of simulation results. It will also be appropriate either for university courses or for independent study.

Numerical analysis of deterioration phenomena in heat transfer to supercritical water

Improved Form of the k-ε Model for Wall Turbulent Shear Flows

A new anomemetry technique has been developed for turbulence measurements near the wall, where the conventional X-wire method is subject to large errors due to aerodynamic disturbances caused by the tops of wire supports. The technique proposed in this study is founded on the principle of convective heat transfer from a symmetrically bent V-shaped hot-wire, which can be supported just like a cantilever. The present paper describes the details of effective cooling velocities of a V-shaped hot-wire, together with the related comments on its aeroelastic deformation and vibration. See also next Abstract.

Turbulence Measurements With Symmetrically Bent V-Shaped Hot-Wires. Part 1: Principles of Operation

An analysis of the response of a V-shaped hot-wire to velocity component fluctuations is presented. A V-shaped hot-wire works in the same manner as a conventional inclined straight wire. The great differences are: the V-shaped wire is less sensitive to the w component of velocity; the V-shaped wire can be supported just like a cantilever, and thus the wire may be brought closer to the wall until it touches the wall surface, whereas an inclined straight wire is kept away from the wall by the supports, and a probe body distorts the flow field.
