One Dimensional and Two Dimensional Numerical Investigation of Micro Scale Combustion
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Saidi, Mohammad Said (Supervisor) ; Saidi, Mohammad Hasan (Supervisor) ; Shafii, Mohammad Behshad (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this paper, a one-dimensional and two-dimensional numerical approach is used to study the effect of various parameters such as micro combustor height, mass flow rate and external convection heat transfer coefficient on the temperature and species mass fraction profiles. A premixed mixture of H2-Air with a multi-step chemistry (9 species and 19 reactions) is used. The transient gas phase energy and species conservation equations result in an Advection-Diffusion-Reaction system (A-D-R) that leads to two stiff systems of PDEs, which can not be solved by conventional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods. In the present work, Strang splitting method, which is suitable for nonlinear stiff...
Pore-scale Simulation of Flow around a Micro-porous Square Cylinder, Using Hybrid LBM-FVM, Considering Slip Condition Inside Porous Media
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Tayyebi Rahni, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
In recent years, application of porous media is highlighted among researchers due to their wider use in micro-scale problems, such as in gas reservoirs, micro-filtering, and heat exchangers. In such applications, accurate description of flow behavior, using governing equations based on continuum assumption, is not valid, since mean free path has the same order as the characteristic length of the problem. In such cases, imposing appropriate slip condition on the fluid-solid interface of porous media (in pore-scale level), based on kinetics theory, is an appropriate approach. For this purpose, pore-scale simulation of flow inside porous media in slippery and transient regimes is carried out...

Abstract
Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) was applied to simulate the free falling of cylindrical bodies in three types of fluids including Newtonian, generalized-Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids. Renormalized derivation schemes were used because of their consistency in combination with the latest version of no slip boundary condition to improve the handling of moving fluid-structure interactions (FSIs). Verification of the method was performed through comparing the results of some benchmark examples for both single and two phase flows with the literature. The effects of some parameters such as the viscosity of the Newtonian fluid, the n index of the power-law fluid and the relaxation time of...

Abstract
Determination of effective transport properties of droplet-hydrogel composites is essential for various applications. The transport of ions through a droplet-hydrogel composite subjected to an electric field is theoretically studied as an initial step toward quantifying the effective transport properties of droplet-hydrogel composites. A three-phase electrokinetic model is used to derive the microscale characteristics of the polyelectrolyte hydrogel, and the droplet is considered an incompressible Newtonian fluid. The droplet-hydrogel interface is modeled as a surface, which encloses the interior fluid. The surface has the thickness of zero and the electrostatic potential ζ. Standard...

Abstract
A comprehensive study was performed to analyze the unsteady laminar flow characteristics around a porously covered, a fully porous, and a solid squared section cylinder located in the middle of a plane channel. In order to simulate fluid flow inside porous media and porous–fluid interface accurately (minimizing modeling error), the porous region was analyzed in pore scale, using LBM. Additionally, to minimize the LBM-related compressibility error through the porous region, a multi-block multiple relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method (MRT-LBM) was used. Also, to decrease CPU time, a Navier–Stokes flow solver, based on finite volume method and SIMPLE algorithm, was coupled with MRT-LBM to...

Abstract
Characterization of droplet-hydrogel interfaces is of crucial importance to engineer droplet-hydrogel composites for a variety of applications. In order to develop electrokinetic diagnostic tools for probing droplet-hydrogel interfaces, the displacement of a charged droplet embedded in a polyelectrolyte hydrogel exposed to an oscillating electric field is determined theoretically. The polyelectrolyte hydrogel is modeled as an incompressible, charged, porous, and elastic solid saturated with a salted Newtonian fluid. The droplet is considered an incompressible Newtonian fluid with no charges within the droplet. The droplet-hydrogel interface is modeled as a surface with the thickness of zero...

, Article Journal of Heat Transfer ; Vol. 136, issue. 3 , 2014 ; ISSN: 00221481 ; Baghani, M ; Saidi, M. H ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The present investigation is devoted to the fully developed slip flow mixed convection in vertical microducts of two different cross sections, namely, polygon, with circle as a limiting case, and rectangle. The two axially constant heat flux boundary conditions of H1 and H2 are considered in the analysis. The velocity and temperature discontinuities at the boundary are incorporated into the solutions using the first-order slip boundary conditions. The method considered is mainly analytical in which the governing equations in cylindrical coordinates along with the symmetry conditions and finiteness of the flow parameter at the origin are exactly satisfied. The first-order slip boundary...

, Article Microfluidics and Nanofluidics ; Vol. 16, issue. 1-2 , 2014 , pp. 207-224 ; ISSN: 16134982 ; Sadeghi, A ; Saidi, M. H ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Consideration is given to the buoyancy effects on the fully developed gaseous slip flow in a vertical rectangular microduct. Two different cases of the thermal boundary conditions are considered, namely uniform temperature at two facing duct walls with different temperatures and adiabatic other walls (case A) and uniform heat flux at two walls and uniform temperature at other walls (case B). The rarefaction effects are treated using the firstorder slip boundary conditions. By means of finite Fourier transform method, analytical solutions are obtained for the velocity and temperature distributions as well as the Poiseuille number. Furthermore, the threshold value of the mixed convection...
Gaseous slip flow forced convection in microducts of arbitrary but constant cross section
, Article Nanoscale and Microscale Thermophysical Engineering ; Vol. 18, issue. 4 , 2014 , p. 354-372 ; Sadeghi, A ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
This is a theoretical study that extends a classical method of treating the convection heat transfer in complex geometries to gaseous slip flow forced convection in microchannels with H1 thermal boundary condition. Through this line, the momentum and energy equations in cylindrical coordinates are made dimensionless. Afterward, solutions are presented that exactly satisfy the dimensionless differential equations along with the symmetry condition and finiteness of the flow parameter at the origin. The first-order slip boundary conditions are then applied to the solution utilizing the least squares matching method. Though the method is general enough to be applied to almost any arbitrary cross...

Abstract
The present study examines Alternating Current (AC) electroosmotic flows in a parallel plate microchannel subject to constant wall temperature. Numerical method consists of a central finite difference scheme for spatial terms and a forward difference scheme for the temporal term. Asymmetric boundary conditions are assumed for Poison-Boltzmann equation for determining the electric double layer (EDL) potential distribution. The potential distribution is then used to evaluate the velocity distribution. The velocity distribution is obtained by applying slip boundary conditions on the walls which accounts for probable hydrophobicity of surfaces. After determining the velocity distribution...

, Article International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics ; Volume 13, Issue 6 , 2013 ; 02194554 (ISSN) ; Permoon, M. R ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
In this study, the instability of spinning cylindrical shells partially filled with viscous liquid is investigated. Based on the Navier-Stokes equations for the incompressible flow, a 2D model is developed for liquid motion at each section of the cylinder. The governing equations of the cylinder vibrations are obtained based on the first-order shear deformable shell theory. The nonpenetration and no-slip boundary conditions of the flow on the wetted surface of the cylinder relate the liquid motion to the shell vibrations. Also the liquid pressure exerted on the cylinder wall combines the vibrations of the rotary cylinder to the liquid motion. By using the obtained coupled liquid-structure...

The method considered is mainly analytical in which the governing equations and three of the boundary conditions...
Coarsening dynamics of nanodroplets on topographically structured substrates
, Article Journal of Physics Condensed Matter ; Volume 25, Issue 4 , 2013 ; 09538984 (ISSN) ; Moosavi, A ; Sharif University of Technology
2013
Abstract
Employing a biharmonic boundary integral method with linear elements, coarsening dynamics of nanodroplets on topographical step heterogeneity is investigated. It is shown that the step height and droplet configuration have an influential effect on the dynamics. Increasing the step height slows down the process while locating the droplets close to the step boosts the coarsening rate. Considering a slip boundary condition enhances the dynamics and reveals a transition in the droplet migration direction. Our results reveal that increasing the surface wettability weakens the dynamics. Various types of the disjoining pressure over the step are also considered and their effects on the coarsening...
A modified SPH method for simulating motion of rigid bodies in Newtonian fluid flows
, Article International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics ; Volume 47, Issue 6 , 2012 , Pages 626-638 ; 00207462 (ISSN) ; Fatehi, R ; Manzari, M. T ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
A weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH) method is used along with a new no-slip boundary condition to simulate movement of rigid bodies in incompressible Newtonian fluid flows. It is shown that the new boundary treatment method helps to efficiently calculate the hydrodynamic interaction forces acting on moving bodies. To compensate the effect of truncated compact support near solid boundaries, the method needs specific consistent renormalized schemes for the first and second-order spatial derivatives. In order to resolve the problem of spurious pressure oscillations in the WCSPH method, a modification to the continuity equation is used which improves the stability of...
A systematic method for the complex walls no-slip boundary condition modeling in dissipative particle dynamics

Abstract
The dissipative particle dynamics method is an efficient method for studying the hydrodynamics of complex fluids. One of the most challenging aspects of this method appears when the solid walls exist. The solid walls disturb the homogeneity of the fluid near the wall and cause some spurious fluctuations. Thus, in recent years a large amount of effort has been devoted to solve this shortcoming. Fortunately the mentioned problem has almost been solved for the simple walls such as flat walls, circular cylinders, spheres, etc. However no systematic model has addressed the complex walls. It should be noted that almost all of the walls we deal with in practical problems such as MEMS devices,...

, Article Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer ; Volume 25, Issue 2 , 2011 , Pages 262-271 ; 08878722 (ISSN) ; Salarieh, H ; Saidi, M. H ; Mozafari, A. A ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Because of technological restrictions, it is actually impossible to fabricate smooth microchannels. Therefore, exploring the roughness effects on the flow characteristics at microscale is of great importance for scientific communities. The present investigation deals with the effects of corrugated roughness on the fully developed slip flow forced convection in micropipes. The governing equations subject to first-order slip boundary conditions are solved by means of the straightforward perturbation method. Closed-form expressions are obtained for the dimensionless velocity and temperature distributions, for the friction coefficient and pressure drop, and finally for the Nusselt number. The...

Abstract
We use an extended direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, applicable to unstructured meshes, to numerically simulate a wide range of rarefaction regimes from subsonic to supersonic flows through micro/nanoscale converging-diverging nozzles. Our unstructured DSMC method considers a uniform distribution of particles, employs proper subcell geometry, and follows an appropriate particle tracking algorithm. Using the unstructured DSMC, we study the effects of back pressure, gas/surface interactions (diffuse/specular reflections), and Knudsen number on the flow field in micro/nanoscale nozzles. If we apply the back pressure at the nozzle outlet, a boundary layer separation occurs before the...
