By applying Green’s theorem and the Green function method, an integral equation for the perturbation velocity potential is obtained based on the potential flow theory. The method uses constant-strength doublet and source density distribution over the foil body surface and Neumann-type condition. On the undisturbed free surface source density is applied to satisfy the free surface condition that is defined by the first and second order solutions. After solving the doublet on the body and source on the free surface, the computational results of pressure, lift, wave drag, wave pattern and wave elevation can be calculated at various Froude numbers. The results for the surface piercing (such as strut and Wigley hull) and submerged moving hydrofoils have been presented. The validity of the numerical results is examined by comparing it with the experimental results.           }, keywords = {Free surface,pressure distribution,lift and drag,wave pattern,Wigley hull}, url = {https://ijstm.shirazu.ac.ir/article_906.html}, eprint = {https://ijstm.shirazu.ac.ir/article_906_1b167018046dc0a27c3de495affbd785.pdf} } @article { author = {}, title = {A complete treatment of thermo-mechanical ALE analysis; Part I: Formulation}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Science and Technology Transactions of Mechanical Engineering}, volume = {34}, number = {2}, pages = {135-148}, year = {2010}, publisher = {Shiraz University}, issn = {2228-6187}, eissn = {}, doi = {10.22099/ijstm.2010.907}, abstract = {Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) finite element method is extensively used for numerical simulation of solid mechanics problem.

The effect of long term durability tests using biogas/diesel dual fuel operation on wear characteristics is evaluated and presented in this paper. Steady state tests were performed on a small, single cylinder, naturally aspirated, 4-stroke, direct injection diesel engine at a speed of 1500 rpm, coupled to a generator set to generate electricity for over 3500 hours. Lubricating oil samples were collected during the test run and were subjected to the analysis of various wear metal traces present and the changes in their properties. After completion of the endurance test, the engine was dismantled for physical inspection and wear assessment of vital parts. Formation of carbon deposits on in-cylinder surfaces was not found to be problematic. Injector tip coking did not occur. Surface wear and accumulations of metal debris in crankcase lubricating oil samples were analyzed and found to increase with time, but not at an unusual rate. Properties of used lubricating oils did not alter significantly from their original values. Wear was not significantly different in the test engine fueled with the biogas/diesel combination.

The full Navier-Stokes equations are solved by a finite difference/front tracking method that allows a fully deformable interface between the drop and the suspending medium and the inclusion of the surface tension. In the limit of a small Reynolds number (<1), the direction of motion of the drop depends on the ratio of the viscosity of the drop fluid to the viscosity of the ambient fluid. At finite Reynolds numbers, the drop migrates to an equilibrium lateral position about halfway between the wall and the centerline (the Segre-Silberberg effect). Results are presented over a range of capillary number, Reynolds number, viscosity ratio and drop size. As the Reynolds number increases or capillary number or viscosity ratio decreases, the equilibrium position moves closer to the wall. The drop velocity is observed to increase with increasing capillary number and viscosity ratio, but decreases with increasing Reynolds number. The drops are more deformed with increasing the capillary number or viscosity ratio. The drop deformation increases slightly with increasing Reynolds number at constant capillary number. The equilibrium position of the three-dimensional drop is close to that predicted by two-dimensional simulations. But the translational velocities do not agree quantitatively with two-dimensional simulations.    }, keywords = {Drop,Poiseuille flow,finite difference/front tracking method,capillary number}, url = {https://ijstm.shirazu.ac.ir/article_910.html}, eprint = {https://ijstm.shirazu.ac.ir/article_910_ff371bd414e83da62ee2f926df86ba78.pdf} } @article { author = {}, title = {Explicit minimum fuel intercept strategy for high-order dynamics}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Science and Technology Transactions of Mechanical Engineering}, volume = {34}, number = {2}, pages = {197-213}, year = {2010}, publisher = {Shiraz University}, issn = {2228-6187}, eissn = {}, doi = {10.22099/ijstm.2010.911}, abstract = {An optimal fuel guidance strategy with acceleration limit is derived for interception of maneuvering targets.
