CFD Analysis of Power-Law Fluid in a Partially Blocked Eccentric Annulus Under Turbulent Flow Conditions
(2019-12)An increase in hydrocarbon production by the application of several laterals from a single vertical wellbore is now a widespread practice. Horizontal and inclined wells are drilled at record lengths, which once seemed ... -
Computational analysis of sweeping jet actuator using dynamic mode decomposition
(2022-12)A sweeping jet actuator (SJA) is a self-sustaining, periodically oscillating device without involving any moving parts. SJA requires only pressurized fluid at the inlet to transfer momentum via the Coanda effect. As an ... -
Computational fluid dynamics study for stability analysis of an unmanned aircraft mass simulator with rocket-assisted take-off
(2022-05)This paper presents the stability analysis of a high speed unmanned aerial system mass simulator fitted with a rocket-assisted take-off (RATO) system. Flight stability characteristics from rocket ignition to rocket burnout ... -
Evaluation of Turbulence Model Performance for Simulation of Low Prandtl Number Fluids in Nuclear Reactor Cooling Systems
(2020)Nuclear energy is a promising alternative to fossil fuel energy sources. With advances to current cooling technology, nuclear energy can achieve more energy production and run more efficiently than earlier reactor designs. ... -
Flow of Power-Law Fluid in a Partially Blocked Eccentric Annulus
(2016-12-16)Directional drilling has been increased recently due to its multiple benefits when compared to conventional drilling. Among several advantages, the increase in the production of oil and gas through the use of multiple ... -
Investigation of a tilt-wing proof of concept for a high-speed VTOL jet UAV using thrust vectoring for balance
(2022-12)Success of Special operations forces (SOF) missions depends on a high level of situational awareness within sensitive areas of interest, especially when arriving in volatile, sensitive environments. Oftentimes intelligence, ... -
Modeling Oscillatory Flow in a Cone-and-Plate Device Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2019-05-11)Calcific aortic heart valve disease has been investigated in literature over the past three decades. Researches have been trying to understand the mechanism by which the calcification occurs on the aortic valve leaflets. ... -
A simulation and analytical study on the performance of gas-liquid centrifugal downhole separators
(2023-12-15)A common issue in depleted oil and gas wells is the lack of energy to drive the fluids to the surface. Engineers use various artificial lift systems to solve this problem, most commonly by using pumps. Many pump types do ...
