Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Fluid, Thermal and Energy Systems


Book Description

This book comprises the proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Fluid, Thermal and Energy Systems. The contents of this book focus on phase change heat transfer, advanced energy systems, separated flows, turbulence and multi-phase modeling, computational fluid flow and heat transfer, thermal energy storage systems, integrated energy systems, nuclear thermal hydraulics, heat transfer in nanofluids, etc. This book serves as a useful reference to researchers, academicians, and students interested in the broad field of thermo-fluid science and engineering.







A Numerical Investigation of Supersonic Flow Around Aft Bodies


Book Description

A numerical investigation has been made for supersonic flow past a cylindrical aft body with and without base bleed and a cylindrical boat tail. Comparison was made to available experimental data. The effect of grid cell density and turbulence models were examined. The calculation of the base flow region was much more highly dependent on grid density that was the forebody or outer flow field Agreement between the numerical and experimental results improved with the inclusion of the base bleed.
