Computation fluid dynamics on drag reduction II by Zang, Bin

“…Both the flow pattern in the form of velocity contours and the quantitative drag coefficient are extracted and compared in several ways: single dimple along the wall with depth (h/D = 0.21); multiple (three) dimples along the wall with different separation distances between adjacent dimples; single dimple but with several other h/D ratios (i.e. 0.25, 0.14, 0.10, 0.08). …”

Turbulent Flow over a Flexible Wall Undergoing a Streamwise Traveling Wavy Motion by Shen, Lian, Zhang, Xiang, Yue, Dick K.P., Triantafyllou, Michael S.

“…For negative c/U, we find that flow separation is enhanced and a large drag force is produced. For positive c/U, the results show that as c/U increases from zero, the separation bubble moves further upstream and away from the wall, and is reduced in strength. …”

Large eddy simulations of flow over solid circular cylinders and rectangular blocks by Lim, Yong Xiang

“…The aim of the current work was to investigate the influence of various parameters by conducting three dimensional numerical simulations for flow across a circular cylinder. By obtaining the drag and lift coefficients, the effect of different Reynolds number and number of cells would be compared. …”

An experimental and simulation study of chip transportation behaviour in gundrilling by Tnay, Guan Leong

“…From the experiments, terminal velocities of typical gun drill chips at different range of particle Reynolds number were determined to construct the unique drag curve. Based on the findings, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) numerical model was developed to predict the lateral drag forces with respect to the particle Reynolds number. …”

Determination of operating point for a propulsive wing UAV using CFD by Chan, Chee Shuan

“…CFD simulations were performed using a 2D RANS k-ε turbulence model and the rotating flow was captured using the moving reference frame method. Lift and drag were obtained for different angle of attacks via a control volume analysis of CFD results. …”

Slow viscous flow around two particles in a cylinder by Yao, Xin, Marcos, Wong, Teck Neng

“…The two solutions are performed in an iterated framework using the method of reflections. We compute the drag force and torque coefficients of the particles which are dependent on the distances among the cylinder wall and the two particles. …”
