An efficient self-adaptive strategy for the explicit time integration of Navier-Stokes equations
is presented. Unlike the conventional explicit integration schemes, it is not based on a …

Purpose Because the local Re numbers, ratio of inertia to viscous forces, are not same at
different regions of the enclosures, the present study aims to deal with the influences of …

The paper explains a method by which discretizations of the continuity and momentum
equations can be designed, such that they can be combined with an equation of state into a …

In the context of time-accurate numerical simulation of incompressible flows, a Poisson
equation needs to be solved at least once per time-step to project the velocity field onto a …

The simulation of turbulent flows by means of computational fluid dynamics is highly
challenging. The costs of an accurate direct numerical simulation (DNS) are usually too …

Three eddy-viscosity and one non-eddy-viscosity type sub-grid scale models have been
evaluated in large eddy simulations of buoyant turbulent flows in the three-dimensional …

More and more often computer simulations of airflow are used as a tool in aircraft design. In
this research project, which is a collaboration of the University of Groningen and the …

This work is devoted to the study of turbulent natural convection flows in differentially heated
cavities. The adopted configuration corresponds to an air-filled (Pr= 0.7) cavity of aspect …

To study extreme hydrodynamic wave impact in offshore and coastal engineering, the VOF-
based CFD simulation tool ComFLOW is being developed. Recently, much attention has …

Abstract The Oberbeck-Boussinesq (OB) form of the Navier-Stokes equations can provide
reliable solutions only for problems where the density differences are relatively small and all …
