Governing equations, turbulence and sound models
Applying fluid dynamic CFD package Fluent™ Fluent Inc, this paper simulated the channel flow using superhydrophobic surfaces in 2D and unsteady state.
Based on transient flow simulation results (LES modeling is highly recommended for capturing wide band sound spectrum), time variation of acoustic pressure is calculated with the formulation of Lighthill's Acoustic Analogy.
Simulation results and analysis Receiver 1 and receiver 2 were two sensors which measured the sound pressure generated by superhydrophobic surface and plane surface respectively.
Since the distance of the two sensors were very close to their maching surface and the simulation was under 2d model, the absolute value of the sound pressure at that two point were very hign.

A mathematical model for the simulation of the transport phenomena occurred in the
anode of a typical fuel cell is presented here.
This approach has been numerically implemented and solved by using the finite volume method being applicable through the CFD-RC© commercial package.
Further to this simple modeling approach, a more detailed 2-D simulation has also been implemented for the same processes in order to overcome superficial assumptions and mathematical manipulations.
The finite volume method was used through the commercially available software package CFD-RC © for the solution of Eqs. (14)-(17) where the simulated domain was discretized by an unstructured grid.
