The future use of electric vehicles in the southern regions of the world could face several problematics related to high temperature, mostly when charging at high power. This paper proposes a new external cooling solution for cooling EV batteries pack at higher temperature conditions especially...

In this study, a numerical procedure is outlined and representative results for heat and mass transfer during convective drying of porous bodies are presented. The Luikov model was implemented and applied both on individual samples of construction materials and agricultural products, as well as...

A numerical analysis of the three-dimensional temperature and velocity fields in horizontal cylindrical storage tanks was performed. The phenomena of laminar natural convection and vertical stratification of temperature were considered. The developed three-dimensional transient computing code...

Unstructured finite volume methods are receiving increased attention mainly because of their ability to provide a flexible spatial discretization. Hence, some areas can be resolved in great detail while not over-resolving other areas. Development of these models is an ongoing process with...

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...

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...

This paper deals with numerical solution of two-dimensional and three-dimensional steady and unsteady laminar incompressible flows for Newtonian and non-Newtonian shear thickening fluids flow through a branching channel. The mathematical model used in this work is the generalized system of...

A simple solver is proposed for the numerical solution of density-driven multi-layer shallow water flows. The governing equations consist on coupling the multi-layer shallow water equations for the hydraulic variables with suspended sediment transport equations for the concentration variables....

The finite volume method is used as a numerical method for solving the fluid flow equations. This method is appropriate to employ under structured and unstructured meshes. Mixed grids, combining both types of grids, are investigated. The coupling of different grids is done by overlapping...

Four typical finite volume methods, the Roe-MUSCL, Roe-Upwind, HLL-MUSCL and composite methods are implemented on unstructured triangular meshes. Two typical problems of discontinuous solutions of 2D shallow water, the 2D dam break problem and oblique hydraulic jump problem, are solved by the...
