The geometry represents the meat sample and surrounding air domain, discretized with a structured mesh of 58,800 elements to accurately capture heat and mass transfer gradients. The meat drying process was simulated using CFD to analyze heat and mass transfer during drying. The VOF model was applied to capture multiphase interactions between liquid water and vapor. The meat was modeled as a porous medium to represent internal moisture transport. Infrared heating and air convection were used as drying mechanisms under two operating cases. Results showed that higher heat flux and temperature enhanced drying efficiency and reduced moisture content.

This work presents a CFD–DEM simulation of a rotary seed dryer. Hot air flows through the inclined drum at 350 K while the drum rotates at 20 RPM. Seeds are modeled with the Discrete Phase Model (DPM) coupled with evaporation into H₂O vapor. The Discrete Element Method (DEM) accounts for particle–particle and particle–wall collisions, improving realism of seed motion. Contours of H₂O mass fraction reveal zones of strong evaporation, reaching values up to 0.0026. The combined CFD–DPM–DEM approach shows how airflow, fin mixing, and collisions enhance drying efficiency.

In this project, we have simulated the thermal and airflow performance of a greenhouse with and without a heating system using ANSYS Fluent software. Three-dimensional modeling was done using Design Modeler software. The meshing of the model has been done using ANSYS Meshing software, with approximately 1,860,000 cells for the base case and 3,110,000 cells for the heated case. The energy equation, species transport, and solar ray tracing using the Discrete Ordinates (DO) radiation model are enabled for accurate representation of heat transfer and humidity. The standard K-epsilon model is selected for turbulence characteristics of fluid flow.

The problem numerically simulates airflow, heat transfer, solar radiation, and humidity inside a greenhouse using ANSYS Fluent software. We perform this simulation as steady-state. The study incorporates the Discrete Ordinates radiation model with solar ray tracing and species transport for air–water vapor mixture analysis.

Co-firing Biomass with Coal Gasification. This project involves the simulation of coal and biomass co-firing in a furnace using CFD techniques. The primary objectives are to examine the combustion characteristics and validate the simulation results against the study by Ghenai and Janajreh. The furnace is defined with specific boundary conditions, and simulations are performed using an unsteady, incompressible flow model. The turbulent flow within the furnace is modeled using the k-e RNG turbulent model, thermal radiation is simulated with the P1 model, and combustion is analyzed with a PDF model. The simulation incorporates the kinetics/diffusion-limited rate model for particle combustion and the two competing rates Kobayashi model for devolatilization. Results are compared in terms of temperature contours and particle trajectories, confirming the simulation’s accuracy with a maximum error of approximately 5% in particle temperature ranges.

This project involves the simulation of a broad-crested weir using ANSYS Fluent to analyze fluid dynamics parameters. The primary goals are to assess the flow rate, drag force, and water level at various sections of the weir and compare these with experimental results. The geometry is created in SpaceClaim and meshed in ANSYS Meshing, resulting in a structured mesh with 1,222,021 elements for improved accuracy. The CFD simulation employs a pressure-based solver and a multiphase VOF model to address the incompressibility of fluids, with air as the primary phase and water as the secondary.

This project aimed to simulate the performance of a heat pump dryer designed for drying wet wood volatiles. The Volume of Fluid (VOF) method was employed to capture the interaction between air and liquid water phases. Species Transport Model was activated to simulate the mass transfer associated with water evaporation. A User-Defined Function (UDF) was developed to represent the evaporation process accurately.
