This paper presents the simulation of the multi-cylinder 4-stroke cycle spark-ignition engine using a commercial simulation tool, AVL BOOST and Fire. Various models were examined to select the appropriate models that would best serve to analyze the main components of the exhaust systems: the plenum chamber, the muffler and the exhaust manifold bran...

The paper presents a proposal of mathematical models for the determination of propulsion coefficient, ηpp, intended for the analysis of motor freighters applied on the river watercourses. As the main paper contribution three different model types are developed, depending on the variable which contributes to ηpp value. These variables are: 1...

Nowadays, finite element analysis is a well-assessed technique which enables investigation of blood vessels behavior under different boundary conditions. Given the rapid progression of both medical imaging techniques and computational methods, the challenge of using the simulation of human arteries such as carotid arteries to address different medi...

In this paper, the effects of chemical reaction on unsteady MHD flow of viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid past an impulsively started oscillating vertical plate with variable temperature and constant mass diffusion in the presence of Hall current have been presented. The dimensionless governing partial differential equations of t...

This article discusses a method for calculating the dynamic characteristics of thin-walled viscoelastic composite pipes made by continuous winding under the influence of internal hydrodynamic pressures. The solution is based on an approximate energy method based on the instant theory of shells and the second-order Lagrange equation. Initial technol...

A Quick Adaptive Galerkin Finite Volume (QAGFV) solution of Cauchy momentum equations for plane elastic problems is presented in this research. A new damping coefficient is introduced to preserve the efficiency of the iterative pseudo-explicit solution procedure. It is shown that the numerical oscillations are not only effectively damped by the pro...

The performance of a magnetic fluid based short bearing is examined with the effect of viscosity variation. The pressure temperature relation of Tipei (1962) concerning viscosity variation is adopted here. The Neuringer-Rosensweig’s model has been considered for the magnetic fluid flow. The related modified Reynolds type equation is solved fo...

The flow on the upper surface of NACA 0015 airfoil is subject to an adverse pressure gradient when the incidence increases. This leads to the boundary layer separation which causes losses in the aerodynamic performances. Control using Vortex Generators (VGs) is a simple passive mean used to delay or eliminate the flow separation from the wall. The ...

A theoretical investigation on the flow of nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), laminar, viscous, incompressible boundary layer fluid with thermal radiative heat transfer and variable properties past a stretching plate was carried out. The liquid is taken to be gray, absorbing, emitting but with non-scattering medium. The main nonlinear equations g...
