Interpolation schemes in FVM:The flux terms in FVM are calculated using the values at the cell centres. For example, heat flux is calculated using temperature values at cell centres (E,P and W). But the flux is obtained when we multiply this by thermal diffusivity. Thermal diffusivity depends on temperature and the value…

RANS
Let us consider the Navier Stokes equation for a 2D, incompressible flow. The continuity equation for this can be written as below. `(delu)/(delx)+(delv)/(dely)=0rightarrowEqn(1)`Applying Reynold's decomposition by substituting `u=(baru+u')and v=(barv+v')`, Eqn(1) becomes `(delbaru)/(delx)+(delu')/(delx)+(delbarv)/(dely)+(delv')/(dely)=0rightarrowEqn(2)`…

Prandtl-Meyer Expansion Shock problem using Converge
In this project the Prandtl-Meyer expansion fan was simulated to study compressible flow. Air flowing with a velocity of 680m/s (M=2) was simulated over a wedge to study the expansion. Shocks are created when an object moves at a speed greater than that of sound in that medium. Shock are sudden change in the physical properties…

Matlab: Stoichiometric Combustion Calculator for Alkane, Alkene and Alkyne fuels
In this project, a matlab code was written to calculate the air-fuel ratio (stochiometric ratio, ar), for alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. The variation of 'ar' with number of Carbon atoms in alkanes, alkenes and alkynes were compared. For Alkanes, the general combustion equation is `C_nH_(2n+2) + ar(O_2 + 3.76N_2)…
