In this study, analysis is performed on entropy generation during cilia transport of water based titanium dioxide nanoparticles in the presence of viscous dissipation. Moreover, thermal heat flux is considered at the surface of a channel with ciliated walls. Mathematical formulation is constructed in the form of nonlinear partial differential equations. Making use of suitable variables, the set of partial differential equations is reduced to coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Closed form exact solutions are obtained for velocity, temperature, and pressure gradient. Graphical illustrations for emerging flow parameters, such as Hartmann number (Ha), Brinkmann number (Br), radiation parameter (Rn), and flow rate, have been prepared in order to capture the physical behavior of these parameters. The main goal (i.e., the minimizing of entropy generation) of the second law of thermodynamics can be achieved by decreasing the magnitude of Br, Ha and ${\Lambda}$ parameters.

This study presents numerical solutions of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for supersonic unsteady flow in a convergent-divergent nozzle with heat addition. The TVD scheme in generalized coordinates is employed in order to calculate the moving shock waves caused by thermal choking. We discuss on transient characteristics, start and unstart phenomena, fluctuations of specific thrust caused by thermal choking and viscous effects. We prove that the control of separation of boundary layer is the most important key problem to prevent the thermal choking.

Granular solid propellants having energy and fast burning rate produce great thrusts within extremely short time intervals. Thus numerical researchs prevailed rather than experimental. Using a 2-phase fluid dynamics model among 1-dimensional 2-phase models, a numerical program was set up to describe reacting flow fields, moving boundary with oscillating pressure waves and constitutive laws research. It deserves special emphasis that correlations of convective heat transfer coefficient and viscous drag force among constitutive laws are tested and discussed because slight variations of their constants make a large influence on their results. In this calculations, some of correlations make the large difference in results. Therefore constitutive laws for convective heat transfer coefficient and viscous drag force need more considerations with experiments.

A flow modeling method has been developed to analyze the flow in the annular base (rear- facing surface) of a circular engine nacelle flying at subsonic speed but with a supersonic exhaust jet. Real values of exhaust gas properties and temperature at an altitude of 30, 000 feet are employed. Potential flows of the air and gas streams are computed for the flow past a separated wake. Then a viscous jet mixing is superimposed on this inviscid solution. Conserva- tion of mass, momentum and energy for the wake flow field is achieved by multiple iterations with modest computer requirements.

Understanding the effects of the parameters affecting the interaction of tandem hydrofoil system is a crucial subject in order to fully comprehend the aero/hydrodynamics of any vehicle moving inside a fluid. This study covers a parametric study on tandem hydrofoil interaction in both potential and viscous fluids using iterative Boundary Element Method (BEM) and RANSE. BEM allows a quick estimation of the flow around bodies and may be used for practical purposes to assess the interaction inside the fluid. The produced results are verified by conformal mapping and Finite Volume Method (FVM). RANSE is used for viscous flow conditions to assess the effects of viscosity compared to the inviscid solutions proposed by BEM. Six different parameters are investigated and they are the effects of distance, thickness, angle of attack, chord length, aspect ratio and tapered wings. A generalized 2-D code is developed implementing the iterative procedure and is adapted to generate results. Effects of free surface and cavitation are ignored. It is believed that the present work will provide insight into the parametric interference between hydrofoils inside the fluid.

Three-dimensional turbulent flows over ship sterns are measured by using the hot-wire anemometer and static holes in the wind tunnel. A conventional stern and a barge-type stern are adopted for the present study. Three components of mean velocities, pressures on the hull and six components of Reynolds stresses are measured. Longitudinal velocity contours are more parallel to the hull surface and weak bilge vortices appear on the barges type stern rather than the conventional stern. Those viscous flow patterns may have close relations to improvements of the resistance and propulsion performance, which have been verified in the towing tests. Measured data files are valuable for the ensuing numerical studies.

Flow mechanism of contractive and dilative motion is numerically investigated to obtain a propulsive force in highly viscous fluid. An axisymmetric code is developed with unstructured grid system based on cell-centered scheme. It is validated by comparing with the results of Stokes approximation for the problem of uniform flow past a sphere in low Reynolds number(R$_{n}$=1). The validated code is applied to the simulation of contractive and dilative periodic motion of body whose results are quantitatively compared with the two dimensional case. In order to investigate the grid dependency, two different grids are applied to the present computations. The present study provides key information for the development of an axisymmetric Micro-hydro-robot.t.

Numerical simulation for the axisymmetric body with contractive and dilative periodic motion is carried out. The present analysis shows that a propulsive force can be obtained in highly viscous fluid by the contractive and dilative motion of axisymmetric body. An axisymmetric code is developed with unstructured grid system for the simulation of complicated motion and geometry. It is validated by comparing with the results of Stokes approximation with the problem of uniform flow past a sphere in low Reynolds number($R_n$ = 1). The validated code is applied to the simulation of contractive and dilative periodic motion of body whose results are quantitatively compared with the two dimensional case. The simulation is extended to the analysis of waving surface with projecting part for finding out the difference of hydrodynamics performance according to variation of waving surface configuration. The present study will be the basic research for the development of the propulsor of an axisymmetric micro-hydro-machine.

In the Lagrangian vortex particle method based on the vorticity-velocity formulation for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, a numerical scheme for calculating pressure fields is presented. Implementation of the numerical method is directly connected with the well-established surface panel methods, just by dealing with the dynamic coupling among vorticity field. Assuming the vorticity and the velocity fields are to be calculated in time domain analysis, the pressure calculation for a complete set of solution at present time step is performed in a similar way to the one used in the Eulerian description. For a validation of the present method, we illustrate the early development of the viscous flow about an impulsive started circular cylinder for Reynolds number 550. The comparative study with the Eulerian finite Volume method provides an extensive understanding and application of the mesh-free Lagrangian vortex methods for numerical simulation of viscous flows around arbitrary bodies of general shape.

The purpose for this study is to examine the vulcanization characteristics, especially the damping, elastic modulus and viscous modulus properties of filler 50phr filled NR compounds and to find out the compounds which can be used as damping materials in industry. For this study, compounds were prepared with filler filled compounding formula. Their vulcanization characteristics, elastic modulus, viscous modulus and damping properties were examined by mean of the rheometrics dynamic spectrometer. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. 1. The elastic modulus values of the maxium under the condition of 1Hz frequency, showed the order as follows, $HAF>Silica>FEF>GPF>SRF>Clay>CaCO_3\;coated>CaCO_3$. 2. The damping values of the maxium under the condition of 1Hz frequency, showed the order as follows $Silica>HAF>FEF>GPF>SRF>Clay>CaCO_3\;coated>CaCO_3$.
