Computational fluid dynamics applications to improve crop production systems
(2013)Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), numerical analysis and simulation tools of fluid flow processes have emerged from the development stage and become nowadays a robust design tool. It is widely used to study various ... -
The effect of interfacial slip on the dynamics of a drop in flow: Part I. Stretching, relaxation, and breakup
(2012)Using a numerical method based on the boundary-integral technique, we assess the impact of interfacial slip on the dynamics of deformation and breakup of a single drop subjected to a uniaxial extensional flow under ... -
Effect of vent arrangement on windward ventilation of a tunnel greenhouse
(2004)The effect of ventilation configuration of a tunnel greenhouse with crop on airflow and temperature patterns was numerically investigated using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. The numerical model was ... -
Extreme solitary waves on falling liquid films
(2014)Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of liquid film flow is used to compute fully developed solitary waves and to compare their characteristics with the predictions of low-dimensional models. Emphasis is placed on the regime ... -
The Free (Open) Boundary Condition at inflow boundaries
(2012)The Free (or Open) Boundary Condition (FBC, OBC) was proposed by Papanastasiou et al. (A new outflow boundary condition, Int. J. Numer. Meth. Fluids 14 (1992) 587-608) to handle truncated domains with synthetic boundaries ... -
THE IMPACT OF INSECT SCREENS AND VENTILATION OPENINGS ON THE GREENHOUSE MICROCLIMATE
(2008)The objective of this work was to experimentally investigate the influence of vent type (side, roof, or both) and of anti-aphid insect screens on airflow, air temperature, and air vapor pressure deficit distribution in a ... -
INFLUENCE OF HEATING SYSTEM ON GREENHOUSE MICROCLIMATE DISTRIBUTION
(2010)Convective and radiative heat transfer from heating systems significantly determines greenhouse microclimate during the cold period of the year. These mechanisms are complicated because they combine free and forced convection ... -
On phase change in Marangoni-driven flows and its effects on the hydrothermal-wave instabilities
(2014)This paper investigates the effects of phase change on the stability of a laterally heated liquid layer for the first time. The interface is open to the atmosphere and vapor diffusion is the rate-limiting mechanism for ... -
Rarefied gas flow through a cylindrical tube due to a small pressure difference
(2013)Flow of a rarefied gas through a cylindrical tube connecting two reservoirs maintained at a small pressure difference is considered using the axisymmetric version of the linearised BGK kinetic model equation subject to ... -
Thermomechanical Modeling of Laser Spot Welded Solar Absorbers
(2015)A finite element (FE) approach is developed to investigate the laser spot welding (LSW) of flat-plate solar absorbers and the stress and distortion fields that develop after fabrication and during operation. Numerical ...
