About this Research Topic
Over the last 50 years, progress has been made in the fields of computational combustion, computational fluid dynamics, and computational chemistry. The scientists pay special attention to model classes that are common to most system modeling efforts, such as fluid dynamics; chemical kinetics; liquid sprays; and turbulent flame models. The advancements in combustion modeling are presented in the time-dependent perspective of the accompanying exponential expansion in computer capabilities and Moore's law. Surprising advancements in modeling skills are highlighted and addressed in relation to this constant rise. The Navier-Stokes equations of motion were utilized to analyze fluid dynamics. Computational fluid dynamics offers a clever way of analyzing fluid fluxes. In the literature, the integration of sub-models into system models for spark ignition; boundary layer flow; diesel and homogeneous charge; friction drag; compression ignition engines; magnetohydrodynamics (MHD); surface and catalytic combustion; heat transfer; pulse combustion; turbulent flow; and detonations was talked about.
To predict the turbulence kinetic energy, energy deposition, heat transfer, and friction drag that occur during a chemical reaction is challenging. The scientists normally use two possible ways for analysis. Experimental and theoretical analysis can be used for such purposes. The experimental results cost more and, for certain cases, experiments are not possible to conduct (for instance, analysis of dam failure). In such cases, scientists' focus is to use theoretical analysis to predict the turbulence kinetic energy, energy deposition, heat transfer, and friction drag. Therefore, the goal is to consider articles from different areas of computational fluid dynamics (laminar as well as turbulent flows of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids), combustion, and heat and mass transfer.
This topic welcomes Original Research, Review, Mini Review and Perspectives in subjects in the following, but is not limited to, areas, in either theoretical or experimental analysis:
• Problems relevant to computational fluid dynamics, computational chemistry, computational combustion dynamics, and heat and mass transfer analysis
• Laminar and turbulent flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in computational fluid dynamics
• Energy deposition, chemically reactive flows, nanofluid flows, and the analysis of heat and mass transfer in fluid flows
