Thermal hydraulics of the spallation target module of an accelerator driven sub-critical system: A numerical study

Unsteady wake dynamics and heat transfer in forced and mixed convection past a circular cylinder in cross flow for high Prandtl numbers

“…This SUPG-based finite element code has been tested satisfactorily on a number of benchmark problems, such as the flow in a liddriven cavity, the flow over a backward-facing step, the flow in a buoyancy-driven cavity and flow over a circular cylinder in cross flow under influence of buoyancy. The results are presented elsewhere [10,18] and they are found satisfactory. In the present work, some of the results are validated with available literature [2], finding very good matches.…”

“…This present work is an extension of the earlier work of Maji and Biswas [15], Biswas and Sarkar [10] and the detail formulation has been discussed there. The method has been successfully applied to solve complex problems [10,[18][19]]. …”

Mixed convective heat transfer from two identical square cylinders in cross flow at Re=100

“…This present work is an extension of the earlier work of Maji and Biswas [18]. The method has been successfully applied to solve complex problems (Prakash et al [21]; Kumar and Biswas [22]; Biswas and Sarkar [23]). …”

A numerical investigation of heat transfer and entropy generation during jet impingement cooling of protruding heat sources without and with porous medium

“…The detailed weak formulation and finite element formulation has been presented in Arul Prakash et al [43]. The same algorithm is applied to several industrial applications such as turbomachinary [44], nuclear engineering [43,45], electronic cooling [46] and thermal performance of fuel cells [47]. Recently the same algorithm has been extended to simulate natural convection and entropy generation in porous enclosures by Lam and Prakash [39].…”

“…The present algorithm has been validated with several experimental and numerical results for benchmark cases of fluid flow and heat transfer problems such as lid driven cavity, backward facing step [45], buoyancy driven convection and entropy generation with and without porous medium [39]. In addition the solver is also validated for a plane laminar slotted air ðPr ¼ 0:71Þ jet impinging onto a flat plate without and with attached porous layer.…”
