Optimization of a Small Wind Turbine for a Rural Area: A Case Study of Deniliquin, New South Wales, Australia
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a 20 kW horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) under local wind conditions at Deniliquin, New South Wales, Australia was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scale-up and turbulence modelling in pipes
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that scaling-up approach is valid as the general flow pattern can be predicted by a non-dimensional strategy, and the flow behavior in small, medium and large pipes obtained with several of the most common RANS turbulence models, has been established under specific conditions via Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques.

Computation of a turbulent natural convection in a rectangular cavity with the low-reynolds-number differential stress and flux model
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical study of a natural convection in a rectangular cavity with the low-Reynolds-number differential stress and flux model is presented, and the performance of the model is compared with the experimental data commonly used for the validation of the turbulence models.

Semi-continuous casting of magnesium alloy AZ91 using a filtered melt delivery system
Mainul Hasan,Latifa Begum +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D numerical simulation of an industrial-sized slab caster for magnesium alloy AZ91 has been carried out for the steady state operational phase of the caster, which consists of an open-top melt delivery system fitted with a porous filter near the hot-top.

Numerical simulation of chlorine disinfection processes
TL;DR: A computational fluid dynamics model was developed to predict flow structure, mass transport and chlorine decay in a continuous flow pilot scale reactor to demonstrate that inlet configurations can significantly impact reactor hydrodynamics.

The prediction of laminarization with a two-equation model of turbulence
W.P. Jones,Brian Launder +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the local turbulent viscosity is determined from the solution of transport equations for the turbulence kinetic energy and the energy dissipation rate, and the predicted hydrodynamic and heat-transfer development of the boundary layers is in close agreement with the measured behaviour.

The calculation of low-Reynolds-number phenomena with a two-equation model of turbulence
W.P. Jones,Brian Launder +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present numerical predictions of various turbulent shear flows in which the structure of the viscous sublayer exerts appreciable influence on the flow, where the turbulence energy and its dissipation rate are calculated by way of transport equations which are solved simultaneously with the conservation equations for the mean flow.

Heat and mass transfer from rotating cones
C. L. Tien,D. T. Campbell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, heat transfer by convection from isothermal rotating cones is investigated experimentally by measuring the sublimation rate from naphthalene-coated cones and using the analogy between heat and mass transfer.
