This work deals with the drag forces acting on non-spherical particles translating normal to a surface in a polymer melt in which the particle–surface distance is small compared with particle dimension in the flow direction. ...

This work presents an approach to identify hydrodynamic models for incident, diffraction and viscous forces acting on a moored floating structure. An important aspect treated here is the analysis of the unknown initial ...

The present work proposes the design of a hydrodynamic profile for unmanned submarine devices through numerical simulation, thus facilitating experimental studies and reducing manufacturing costs. Design and manufacturing ...

In this paper, the stability of an umbilical-ROV system under nonlinear oscillations in heave motion is analyzed using numerical methods for the uncontrolled and controlled cases comparatively. Mainly the appearance of the ...

The fluidized bed reactor has successfully been used to perform biotechnological processes addressed to the production of high added value. The present work evaluates hydrodynamic parameters of a bench-scale fluidized bed ...

Most of the works published on hydrodynamic parameter identification of open-frame underwater vehicles focus their attention almost exclusively on good coherence between simulated and measured responses, giving less ...

From a practical as well as a conceptual point of view, one of the most interesting problems of physicochemical hydrodynamics is the drag out of a liquid film by a moving solid out of a pool of liquid. The basic problem, ...

The development of new underwater drone technologies, including hydrodynamic performance and bioinspired designs has received significant effort in recent years due to several interests in marine fields. Hydrodynamic ...

The Ahmed body consists of a reference model (benchmark) used in the automotive industry to validate simulation tools. With complex shapes, cars are very difficult to model while quantifying aerodynamic drag computationally ...
