Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to develop and test an implicit scheme, accurate to the second order, for solving full Navier-Stokes equations for three dimensional problems, using parallel algorithm. Design/methodology/approach -Parallel solution to the 3-D incompressible full Navier-Stokes equations is presented, based on two fractional steps in time and finite element in space. The accuracy of the scheme is second order in both time and space domains. Large time-step sizes, with Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) numbers much larger than unity, are taken since the momentum equation is solved implicitly. A fourth order artificial viscosity term is added. In order to stabilize the numerical solution, fourth order artificial viscosity term is used for high Reynolds number flows. The domain decomposition technique is implemented for parallel solution to the problem with matching and non-overlapping sub-domains. It is aimed to study both a 3D free and mixed convection problems using the developed scheme. The segregate solution for temperature field is calibrated by a 3-D free convection problem. Then the flow case where the forced convection is one order of magnitude higher than the free convection is studied. Findings -It is observed that the long time solution to the flow field shows oscillatory behaviour as the Reynolds number of the flow doubled while keeping the ratio of the forced to free convection fixed. The solution using a parallel algorithm gives satisfactory results, in terms of computation time and accuracy, for the natural convection problem in cubic cavity, and, the forced cooling of a room with chilled ceiling having a parabolic geometry as presented at the end. It is observed that doubling the Reynolds number, while keeping all the parameters unchanged, varies the flow behaviour completely. Originality/value -A code previously developed and published by the author only solved momentum equation and studied the velocity field. In this study, full Navier Stokes equation is solved and the code is calibrated with a well-known 3D free-convection for two different Rayleigh number cases and then 3D mixed convection problem is studied for two cases. Re ¼ 2000 case results, solved both by the scheme in this study and by commercial code, presented an interesting physics of the problem. For Re ¼ 2000 case, continuous cooling of the room is not possible. Doubling the Reynolds number, raising it from 1000 to 2000, while keeping all the parameters unchanged, varies the flow behaviour completely.

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to numerically model forced convection heat transfer within a patient-specific carotid bifurcation and to examine the relationship between the temperature and wall shear stress. Design/methodology/approach -The procedure employs a parallel, fully explicit (matrix free) characteristic based split scheme for the solution of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Findings -The arterial wall temperature, rather than the blood temperature dominates the regions of low wall shear stress and high oscillating shear stress. Additionally, negligible temperature gradient was detected proximal to the arterial wall in this locality. Originality/value -The presented results demonstrate a possible mechanism for cold air temperature to influence the atherosclerotic plaque region proximal to the stenosis. The proposed patient-specific heat transfer analysis also provides a starting point for the investigation of the influence of induced hypothermia on carotid plaque and its stability.

SUMMARYOver the last decade, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has evolved into a valuable alternative to continuum computational uid dynamics (CFD) methods for the numerical simulation of several complex uid-dynamic problems. Recent advances in lattice Boltzmann research have considerably extended the capability of LBM to handle complex geometries. Among these, a particularly remarkable option is represented by cell-vertex ÿnite-volume formulations which permit LBM to operate on fully unstructured grids. The two-dimensional implementation of unstructured LBM, based on the use of triangular elements, has shown capability of tolerating signiÿcant grid distortions without su ering any appreciable numerical viscosity e ects, to second-order in the mesh size. In this work, we present the ÿrst three-dimensional generalization of the unstructured lattice Boltzmann technique (ULBE as unstructured lattice Boltzmann equation), in which geometrical exibility is achieved by coarse-graining the lattice Boltzmann equation in di erential form, using tetrahedrical grids. This 3D extension is demonstrated for the case of 3D pipe ow and moderate Reynolds numbers ow past a sphere. The results provide evidence that the ULBE has signiÿcant potential for the accurate calculation of ows in complex 3D geometries.
