Abstract: Numerical simulation on 3-dimensional rectangular cross section of microchannel heat sink is conducted to investigate the effect of various type coolant consist of water and different type of nanofluids on the cooling performance of microchannel heat sink. FLUENT, a Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) is used as the solver of simulation. A rectangular microchannel with hydraulic diameter of 86um and length of 10mm under the boundary condition of constant heat flux and laminar flow with uniform inlet velocity with five sets of working fluid with different nanofluids. The defined model is validated with previous studies of numerical analysis. Results of present work show that using Diamond-H₂O as cooling lead to higher efficiency of heat transfer in microchannel heat sink in comparison to others nanofluid and base fluid. Numerical results show that increasing the thermal conductivity of working fluid can enhanced heat transfer. Nusselt number follows the incremental in Reynolds number.

Abstract: The quality of air condition is one of the major factors affecting the health of people living in urban areas. Different geometry of street canyon coupled with different wind direction will result in various concentration of pollutant accumulated in the canyon. The purpose of this research is to study the flow structure and also pollutant dispersion in a 3-D symmetric street canyon using computational fluid dynamics. Different k-Ɛ turbulent models are used to simulate the flow structure and the result is compared to experimental. The effects of aspect ratio and Reynolds Number to the flow structure and pollutant dispersion in a street canyon are investigated. The studied canyons are avenue, regular and deep canyon with aspect ratio of 0.4, 1 and 2 respectively and Reynolds Numbers of 9000 and 30700.

Abstract: This paper proposed a method to analysis an external flow-field around a Formula SAE car. Firstly, the body of Formula SAE car was designed conforming to the FSAE rules using CATIA. Then, the model of the external flow-field around the vehicle was established using computational fluid dynamic technology. A comparative analysis of the aerodynamic characteristics was made for the body between the conditions of being without the wing package and being with the wing package under different attack angle to get the static pressure graph, the lift force and the drag force then worked out the drag coefficient and confirmed which is the most suitable angle for the wings. The results showed that: the static pressure of the front body, the front part of the tires and the driver’s chest and head is the highest; the body has good streamline since its drag coefficient is 0.385; the rear wings can supply 65% downforce, when the attack angle of the rear wing is set to 8°. Finally, the real mold was fabricated according to the above 3D model and the analysis results. The method presented in this paper can provide theoretical basis and technical parameter for the aerodynamic formation designing and amelioration of the Formula SAE cars. Also it has guiding significance for the design and aerodynamic analysis of the Ordinary Passenger car.

Abstract: With the establishment of the appropriate porous media model of the combustor, temperature contour map on combustor cross section were simulated under the condition of different flow rate and different porosity in the Fluent software, and experimented to verify the simulation. The results show that: Flame core position moves toward the export with the increase of flow rate, but when the flow increases to a certain amount, the outlet temperature rises significantly. temperature distribution is the best when flow rate is 120 mL/min; With the decrease of the porosity, the flame core position moves to the entrance. Wall average temperature of the combustor is the highest when porosity is 0.4.

Abstract: The flow in centrifugal fan and 90° bend pipe was simulated numerically by the RNG k-turbulent model in software Fluent, and obtained the distribution diagram of the pressure and velocity. From the distribution diagram of the pressure and velocity, for measurement, three measurement points must be chosen, and two of them should be closed to the wall of pipe. However, in order to insure the measure accuracy, five or six measure points should be chosen. In addition, the velocity distribution of pipe bending reaches well-distibuted at the 1000 mm away from pipe exports. That is fluid flowing after through the flow field of bending section tends to uniform soon, so for the greater curvature bend pipe, measurement is more convenient.

Abstract: Internal waves will break in the process of communication, the broken will make water in upper and lower mixing, which has significant influence on the hydrodynamic and layered characteristics of density stratification of the water. In order to reveal the propagation of internal solitary waves, a 3d numerical wave flume was built. The research of the propagation of internal solitary waves in the regular topography and broken on slopes was based on FLUENT. Comparing the fragmentation degree of different slope angle and researching the energy dissipation of the wave propagation process , which are supposed to successfully match the results with the experiment results, can provide new methods and means for the further study of internal wave breaking characteristics and the improvement of ecological environment of water bodies.

So based on the 175F series bell flat bottom type swirl chamber’s single connection channel improvement, the influence law of swirl chamber indoor air movement during the injection time by the double connection channel angle at the engine rated speed 2600r/min was studied. Simplified boundary conditions to establish its mathematical solution model for the swirl chamber, then the fluid simulation software was used to research the original scheme and double channel with angle of 50 ° and 30 °, 40 °, 60 ° schemes’ swirl chamber indoor air movement. Results show that the angle of 40 ° dual channel form, the loss of the throttle was reduced, and the swirl chamber air velocity increases obviously, the swirl chamber air velocity in injection time up to 125 m/s,which not only increased indoor vortexes energy but also contribute to oil and gas preferably blended, and near the nozzle the temperature lower 20 °C than the original machine, effectively reducing the nozzle heat load.
