In order to predict the amount of flow leaking through the clearances of the tube
passes, a numerical simulation was carried out using the computational Fluid Dynamics CFD Fluent
Software.
Mathematical Model The mathematical model for this simulation is based on the governing equations of fluid motion, which have been applied in CFD to simulate the fluid flowing through the clearance between the tube-passes partition plate and the wall of the head of the heat exchanger.
The more relevant performance parameters in this simulation were the velocity and the flow rate, which were obtained using the CFD Fluent software.

Abstract.
For the intake restrictors which are designed in line with FSAE race stipulations, this paper carries out compute simulation on the convergent section and divergent section of the intake restrictors via CFD software; the paper systemically analyzes the distribution characters of its flow field, thus obtaining optimal design scheme.
According to Literature [12] and [13], Spalart-Allmaras (1eqn) turbulence model provided by CFD software FLUENT is an eddy viscosity model.
CFD Simulation Results and Analysis The relationship between the converging half angle of the intake restrictor and the nozzle flow Under the condition of keeping the divergent section (divergence half angle is 11°) and the throat of the restrictors unchanged, the converging half angle is changed, and calculation is carried out under the conditions when the converging half angle is set as 10°, 20°,30°, 40°, 45°,50° and 60° respectively.
This is similar to the phenomenon in this experiment; meanwhile, it also verifies the accuracy of this simulation.

In this paper, numerical studies have been conducted in order to evaluate the efficiency of a vertical axis wind turbine by using CFD methods.
Results indicate that the poor accuracy of the URANS CFD method is mainly due to its limitation in the vortex modeling.
Two CFD methods was use to estimate the power coefficient for this wind turbine.
A difference between these two CFD methods can be observed.

As decision makers are relying more and more on the simulation results of CFD, its credibility is a critical issue.
The correspondence between numerical simulation and wind-tunnel experiments was found to have a good agreement.
The second approach is Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS).
Therefore, Flow field around the tower can be simulated and studied by CFD analysis.
