In real engineering problems like heat transfer from cylinder, cylinder head, etc. and fluid flow requires lots of experimental effort for the analysis. It is very time consuming and costly process. Computational fluid dynamics, is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows. Computational fluid dynamics analysis is nothing but the simulation process which involves heat flow as well as fluid flow on the basis of computer. CFD technique is powerful tool to analyze the industrial and non-industrial application.
Historically, methods were first developed to solve the linearized potential equations. Two-dimensional (2D) methods, using conformal transformations of the flow about a cylinder to the flow about an airfoil were developed in the 1930s. The fundamental basis of almost all CFD problems are the Navier–Stokes equations, which define any single-phase (gas or liquid, but not both simultaneously) fluid flow.
CFD analysis is widely used in industries like any industrial process involves heat transfer and fluid flow. Some of the examples are as follows:
Industrial Application
• Automotive: Aerodynamic analysis, IC engine heat transfer analysis, combustion analysis.
• Turbo machinery: Fans, Compressor, Pump, Turbines.
• Process Industries: Combustion, Gasification, Mixing.
• Aerospace: Wind analysis, shape analysis, speed analysis
• Steel Industries: Optimization of tundish performance, Gas stirring of ladles etc.
• Electrical: Electrical equipment cooling.
• HVAC

...elocity is obtain from the momentum equations.
In pressure base approach pressure is extracted by pressure or pressure correlation equation which is obtained by manipulating continuity and momentum equations.
In density base approach continuity equations are used to solve the density while pressure field is find from equation of state.
In both the approach finite volume technique is used that consist
• Division of the domain into discrete control volumes using a computational grid.
• Integration of the governing equations on the individual control volumes to construct an algebraic equations for the discrete dependent variables such as velocity, pressure, temperature and conserve scalar quantity.
• Linearization of the discretized equations and solutions.
In present study; pressure base approach was chosen because of the flow of air in wind tunnel is incompressible.
First of all you will have to understand the principles of flight. An airplane flies because air moving over and under its surfaces, particularly its wings, travels at different velocities, producing a difference in air pressure, low above the wing and high below it. The low pressure exerts a pulling influence, and the high pressure a pushing influence. The lifting force, usually called lift, depends on the shape, area, and tilt of the wing, and on the speed of the aircraft. The shape of the wing causes the air streaming above and below the wing to travel at different velocities. The greater distance over which the air must travel above the curved upper surface forces that air to move faster to keep pace with the air moving along the flat lower surface. According to Bernoulli’s principle, it is this difference in air velocity that produces the difference in air pressure.
I’m currently enrolled in Montgomery College, located in Maryland. Montgomery College is a community college. Community colleges are different in comparison to four-year universities. I had a choice of either getting a job or going to college. There are many reasons why I choose to go to Montgomery College. I chose to go to college because I want to pursue a degree in Psychology. When choosing a college, there are a lot of decisions to make and you have to choose what’s best in your interest. In today’s society, community colleges take up a lot of the students going to pursue their education. President Obama has proposed to make all community colleges free for all Americans and I agree with this statement. People have different perspectives
Introduction to Aerodynamics Aerodynamics is the study of the motion of fluids in the gas state and bodies in motion relative to the fluid/air. In other words, the study of aerodynamics is the study of fluid dynamics specifically relating to air or the gas state of matter. When an object travels through fluid/air there are two types of flow characteristics that happen, laminar and turbulent. Laminar flow is a smooth, steady flow over a smooth surface and it has little disturbance. Intuition would lead to the belief that this type of air flow would be desirable.
For a plane to create lift, its wings must create low pressure on top and high pressure on the bottom. However, at the tips of the wings, the high pressure pushes and the low pressure pulls air onto the top of the wing, reducing lift and creating a current flowing to the top. This current remains even after the wing has left the area, producing really awesome vortices.
Pressure relief valves are relatively simple pieces of equipment. The operation of these devices involves a spring-loaded disk resting on a seat. When the pressure is low the force on the disk is less than the spring force on the disk and the valve remains closed. The pressure force increases causing a drop in the force that seals the disk on the seat. Once the valve is raised a larger disk area is available for the fluid to flow through providing a lifting force which is directly correlated.
The variation in the flow of air in the room caused parachute to land on slightly different places in different trials due to variation in the drag force experienced by the parachute. The movement of air and hence its effects cannot be controlled but could be lessened by blocking the air from outside. It is important to shut down doors and windows of the room and closing down the fan prior to the experiment.
Air pressure can be defined as the impact air has against all the surfaces the molecules of air touches, and is measured in Pascals – one Newton per square
The most important factor in determining the lift generated by an airplane is the angle of attack. The angle of attack is the degree measure from the horizontal that a wing is elevated or declined. When the angle of attack is between 1 and 20 degrees, the most lift is generated. To find the lift generated by a particular area of wing in a standard airfoil shape, a teardrop with the fat end facing forward, the equation L=Cl 1/2 (pV2)S. Cl is the lift coeficent, which is determined by the shape of the airfoil and the angle of attack. P stands for the air mass density, V for the velocity of the air passing over the wing, and S for the area of the wing when viewed from above or below.
The submerged state has been growing in recent history and has resulted in negative implications to American society. The “submerged state” is a term coined by Suzanne Mettler which describes federal policies that, by design, aren’t very visible to citizens. When the submerged state is referenced, it usually deals with social welfare policies. These social welfare policies are designed to reduce economic insecurity and inequality generated by capitalist markets and exist not only to provide assistance and services to the neediest individuals and families, but also to provide temporary assistance from job loss or injury, and to assure economic security in old age (Heerwig, 10/6). Some examples of social welfare policies are food stamps, veterans’ benefits, Medicare and Medicaid. Not all social welfare policies are submerged, but many are. Some examples of submerged social welfare policies consist of the home-mortgage interest deduction and exemption from taxes on employer-provided health and retirement benefits (Shannon, 1:54).
Ever since I was little I was amazed at the ability for a machine to fly. I have always wanted to explore ideas of flight and be able to actually fly. I think I may have found my childhood fantasy in the world of aeronautical engineering. The object of my paper is to give me more insight on my future career as an aeronautical engineer. This paper was also to give me ideas of the physics of flight and be to apply those physics of flight to compete in a high school competition.
On a more scientific note I am interested in mechanics of fluids. This interest was enforced last year when I had the opportunity to attend a lecture on fluid mechanics at P&G. At the conference I greatly expanded my knowledge regarding the physical aspect of fluids and their properties. In last year's AS course we have met a topic in this field. I will be applying ideas and knowledge gathered from last year for this investigation.

As discussed in class, submission of your solutions to this exam will indicate that you have not communicated with others concerning this exam. You may use reference texts and other information at your disposal. Do all problems separately on clean white standard 8.5” X 11” photocopier paper (no notebook paper or scratch paper). Write on only one side of the paper (I don’t do double sided). Staple the entire solution set in the upper left hand corner (no binders or clips). Don’t turn in pages where you have scratched out or erased excessively, re-write the pages cleanly and neatly. All problems are equally weighted. Assume we are working with “normal” pressures and temperatures with ideal gases unless noted otherwise. Make sure you list all assumptions that you use (symmetry, isotropy, binomial expansion, etc.).
In this section, the aim is to obtain governing equations of motion by means of Hamilton’s principle. In this study, all layers have been modeled by CPT. Displacement field for CPT is given by
