In this study, a numerical model of tide surge was developed and applied to the coast of Taiwan and the adjacent sea area. This two-dimensional model has a fine horizontal resolution and takes into account the interaction between storm surges and astronomical tides, which is suitable for...

In this paper, we consider two models that have been recently developed from a thermodynamic standpoint and that are capable of describing the response of nonlinear viscoelastic fluids. We test the efficacy of both models by comparing their predictions against torsion experiments conducted for...

A multidisciplinary approach for the design of geothermal power plants for water dominant resources is here proposed. The importance of a strategic approach is underlined, considering all the connections between the analysis of the geothermal potential of the reservoir (geophysical exploration...

Oxy-fuel combustion is considered as one of promising options for carbon dioxide capture in future coal power plants. Currently models available in CFD codes fail to predict accurately the radiative heat transfer in oxy-fuel cases due to higher pressure of carbon dioxide and water vapor. This...

The research refers to the district heating (DH) system in Ljubljana, which includes 245km of highly diversified pipelines. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the soil thermal conductivity coefficient (λs) on the heat loss from pre-insulated pipes during operation....

We study the two-dimensional Edwards–Anderson spin-glass model using a parallel tempering Monte Carlo algorithm. The ground-state energy and entropy are calculated for different bond distributions. In particular, the entropy is obtained by using a thermodynamic integration technique and an...

The phase transition between the valence-bond-solid (VBS) and nematic phases, the so-called deconfined criticality, was investigated for the quantum S=1-spin model on the spatially anisotropic triangular lattice with the biquadratic interaction by means of the numerical diagonalization method....

In this work, we make a numerical study of the dynamic universality class of the Niedermayer algorithm applied to the two-dimensional Potts model with 2, 3, and 4 states. This algorithm updates clusters of spins and has a free parameter, E0, which controls the size of these clusters, such that...

In order to research the failure mechanism of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC), an unsteady state two-dimensional model that considers the carbon deposition is presented. Navier–Stokes (N–S) equations, heat transfer equation, mass transfer equation, electron and ion transport equation are solved...

An oscillating freestream over a stationary S809 airfoil is simulated numerically using ANSYS Fluent 12.1. For comparison the laminar-turbulent transition is simulated with the realizable k–ϵ and SST k–ω models, and finally the SST k–ω model is chosen. Where possible, the resultant...
