Nowadays, the global energy crisis has encouraged the use of alternative sources like the energy available in the water currents of seas and rivers. The vertical axis water turbine (VAWT) is an interesting option to harness ...

In this contribution, unsteady three-dimensional numerical simulations of the water flow through a horizontal axis hydrokinetic turbine (HAHT) of the Garman type are performed. This study was conducted in order to estimate ...

In this work, blood flow dynamics was analyzed in a realistic thoracic aorta (TA) model under unsteady-state conditions via velocity contours, secondary flow, pressure and wall shear stress (WSS) distributions. Our results ...

It has long been recognized that the forces and stresses produced by the blood flow on the walls of the cardiovascular system are central to the development of different cardiovascular diseases. ...

This study presents two-dimensional numerical simulations of the flow around a cross-flow vertical-axis water turbine (straight-bladed Darrieus type) using active flow control by means of synthetic jets. The performance ...

En este estudio se evaluó mediante simulación numérica la influencia del cambio en la configuración de entrada de agua sobre el patrón de flujo, condiciones de mezcla y decaimiento del cloro residual libre en un tanque de ...

The study of vertical axis turbines has gained great interest in recent years for its great potential. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an alternative analysis tool that is being used for the understanding of the ...
