This paper deals with the development and analysis of a numerical method for a coupled system describing immiscible compressible two-phase flow through heterogeneous porous media. The system is modelled in a fractional flow formulation which consists of a parabolic equation (the global pressure...

A novel concept of air heater using a heating element made from Aluminum metal porous disc surrounded by a DC resistive electrical heater inserted in the mid-plane of a copper tube of (52.8 mm) diameter and (480 mm) length is presented herein. Study of the developed heater is conducted; using...

Dynamic thermal characteristics of insulated building walls with same thermal mass are studied numerically with optimized insulation thickness under steady periodic conditions using the climatic data of Riyadh. Insulation is effected through use of one, two and three layers of insulation, the...

This study deals with a numerical solution of a 2D unsteady flow of a compressible viscous fluid in a channel for low inlet airflow velocity. The unsteadiness of the flow is caused by a prescribed periodic motion of a part of the channel wall with large amplitudes, nearly closing the channel...
