Due to the importance of studying the flow pattern around ARs of different shapes such as cubes, pyramids and triangular prisms, many studies have been conducted experimentally in wind tunnel, using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to study the effect of geometry of these ARs on the flow pattern around them [15]-[16].
The results were then used to verify the numerical results obtained from finite volume method (FVM) simulations [17].
Computational Method Finite volume method was used in Ansys CFX for discretizing the fluid domains in all simulations for the helmet and the hollow cube ARs.

Few approaches were used to ensure the accuracy of the thermal simulation method, ranging from the minimum number of simulation iterations required in the finite element analysis, to the residuals target in terms of the momentum, continuity and energy equations, the objective is to ensure the simulations are converged and provide the reasonable results, which is also an indication of how the partial equations have successfully been solved with analytic method.
The analysis of CPU with variable heat sink base plate thickness using CFD addressed the convergence issue with the simulation data, the study converged at 10-4 and 10-8 for flow and energy equations respectively[3].
Thermal Simulation A full 3D thermal model has been developed in the Ansys software [10], which consists of a fan to act as the forced air cooling device, together with a heat sink which is attached with an IC Package, the simulation was performed with the different heat source and the corresponding monitor point is measured to represent the response of the junction temperature.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations using ANSYS Fluent demonstrated that most designs achieved a flow rate of 14.56 nL/s, closely matching theoretical values and meeting the physiological requirements of islets.
The generated models were seamlessly integrated into ANSYS Fluent, renowned for its precision in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.
By leveraging these tools, detailed models were developed, and advanced fluid simulations were conducted to analyze flow behavior within the irrigation channels.
Computational Simulation The geometries were imported into ANSYS Workbench 2021 R1.

These experiment data are very expensive no matter from the prototype experiment or computer simulation, so finding out the global model of the existing CCP etcher with less trials is necessary.
Typical etch fabrication process modeling and optimizing Xu and etc. have studied on a dual-frequency CCP etch chamber process, a 2D axisymmetric model of 300mm etcher is built in CFD-GEOM/CFD-ACE+, a popular multi-physics simulation software in semiconductor industry.
By orthogonal design, a group of plasma simulation experiments are carried out.
OPTIMUS software were adopted for the process modeling and later on RBF, Kringing and least-squares models are compared based on the simulation experiments data.
And it has been shown that error of the optimization and simulation result is less than 4%, it can give engineers good advice to modify etch input parameters.

This paper mainly focuses on the numerical simulation of temperature field in the cyclone separation.
Therefore the simulation only focuses on the single cylinder.
Meshing is the premise process of numerical simulation and also the discrete process of calculating region.
The number of the grid has nothing to do with the final result according to the theory of CFD, and when the intensity of the grid reaches a certain value, it has little effect on the simulation result by continuing encryption [1].
Fig. 5 Total temperature field Numerical simulation analysis Temperature distribution at various locations in CLT/A type cyclone can be intuitively obtained through numerical simulation shown in the Fig. 5.

Another method is the use of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation software.
A mathematical model and a CFD method are used to analyze the effects of different tube shapes on the radiant system performance.
The utilization of a large number of control volumes used in the simulation will have a proportional effect on the simulation time.
The file has 8760 time steps corresponding to each time step of the simulation.
A greater number of nodes have been tried in some simulations but the simulation time of the model increases proportionally with the complexity of the model.

Numerical Simulations
In total 3 designs of the air fin where used to perform 2D numerical simulation using the commercial software Autodesk Simulation CFD 360.
Fig 4 Simulation domain: a) no straight section; b) 2.5 [mm] straight section; c) 7.5 straight section Fig 4 shows the domain boundary conditions used.
Data given by the simulation software isn’t in a form that permits us to extract directly the convection coefficient and the friction coefficient.
Here the problem arises from the fact that the simulations are 2D and not 3D.
