Nowadays, numerical simulation methods have been widely applied in product design and development, especially in sandwich panel design. However, such numerical models need to be built to optimize calculation time. In this paper, we propose a finite element model to study the plastic mechanical behavior of corrugated sandwich panels. Accordingly, a ...

In rocket engine nozzle design, flow separation is essential and, given the high temperatures and pressures in the thrust chamber, regenerative cooling is critical for maintaining the nozzle wall's integrity. This passage provides a summary of an in-depth numerical analysis of boundary layer separation and heat transfer within a 30°-15&A...

Aerodynamic drag is still one of the main challenges facing the automotive industry. The design engineers are trying to develop novel techniques that could help to control the flow and optimize the shape of a vehicle to make it able to increase the base pressure drag at the wake region. The pressure drag is one of the main contributors to the aerod...

Recent studies have attempted to find methods and techniques that enable the development of heat transfer within thermal transformers. For this purpose, this paper includes a numerical simulation of a non-Newtonian fluid inside a chamber with four hot bodies. The chamber is exposed to a magnetic field of constant and uniform intensity. Also, the up...

The introduction of pressure piping increasingly requires the use of efficient materials which must withstand both high hydrostatic pressures, high mechanical loads and high thermal gradients. At nuclear power plants, piping systems are subjected to high pressures (up to 60 MPa). The occurrence of cracks and their possible spread is one of the seri...

This paper presents a comparative analysis of numerical simulations of blood flow through the left ventricle using SPH (LS-DYNA) and FVM (Ansys Fluent) solvers. Numerical simulations based on SPH and FVM methods can provide a more comprehensive understanding of cardiac blood flow patterns. In Fluent, left ventricle walls were modeled as boundary co...

Accurate prediction of stress and displacement in plates with central cracks is vital for engineering design safety. However, the impact of finite plate size on stress and displacement distribution is an important factor that has not been fully addressed in previous studies, highlighting the need for further investigation. Thus, this study presents...
