Thermal Radiation Exchange between Nanoparticles Heated by Arc Discharge
A. Povitsky, M. N. Shneider
The heating of particles by plasma radiation plays a critical role in space science involving dusty plasma as well as in industrial processes such as plasma vapor deposition, micro…
Modeling of Sedimentation of Particles near Corrugated Surface by Boundary Singularity Method
Alex Povitsky
The velocity and trajectory of particle moving along the corrugated (rough) surface under action of gravity is obtained by meshless Boundary Singularity Method (BSM). This physical…
Modeling of Chemical Vapor Infiltration Using Boundary Singularity Method
Alexander Povitsky, Patrick Mahoney
Boundary Singularity Method (BSM) was used to model Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI) in a fibrous preform. Straight, long fibers of varying cross-sectional geometry, representing…
Continuum and Molecular Modeling of Chemical Vapor Deposition over Nano-scale Substrates
Himel Barua, Alex Povitsky
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a common industrial process that incorporates a complex combination of fluid flow, chemical reactions, and surface deposition. Understanding CVD…
Vorticity Confinement and TVD Applied to Wing Tip Vortices for Accurate Drag Prediction
Kristopher Pierson, Alex Povitsky
The vorticity confinement (VC) method was used with total variation diminishing (TVD) schemes to reduce possible over-confinement and applied to tip vortices shed by edges of wings…
Mixing in 3-D Cavity by Moving Cavity Walls
Alex Povitsky
The mixing in three-dimensional enclosures is investigated numerically using flow in cubical cavity as a geometrically simple model of various natural and engineering flows. The mi…
Three-dimensional flow in cavity with elevated helicity driven by parallel walls
Alex Povitsky
The proposed flow in a 3-D cubic cavity is driven by its parallel walls moving in perpendicular directions to create a genuinely three-dimensional highly separated vortical flow ye…
