Control of Cloud Cavitation Pattern over a Hydrofoil Using Surface Microstructures
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Javadi, Khodayar (Supervisor)
Abstract
Cloud cavitation is one of the major challenges faced by hydrodynamic systems, occurring unsteadily around submerged and moving components such as propellers and rudders. This phenomenon, observed in various industries—including marine propulsion, turbomachinery, and hydrodynamic systems—can cause shock waves, erosion, undesirable vibrations, and efficiency losses, particularly due to the collapse of vapor bubbles near solid surfaces. In this research, to control and mitigate the effects of cloud cavitation, the influence of semi-spherical surface microstructures on a three-dimensional Clark-Y hydrofoil was investigated through both numerical simulations and experimental studies. The...

A particular manner to observe free-edge effects in hybrid elastomer/composites plates
, Article Composites Part C: Open Access ; Volume 11 , 2023 ; 26666820 (ISSN) ; Hosseini Kordkheili, A ; Sharif University of Technology
Elsevier B.V
2023
Abstract
Hybrid elastomer/composite sandwich plate structures are typically used where simultaneously both lateral stiffness and shear flexibility are required. In these hybrid structures, however infinitesimal strains take place in laminated composite layers, but elastomer layer is under hyper-elastic strains. The present work aims to adapt an individual two-step technique to examine three-dimensional stress field in this plate to observe free-edge effects in composite layers. For this purpose, at the first step, employing elastic equivalent properties for the composite layers and nonlinear elastic properties for elastomer layer, large deformation finite element analysis is performed for the hybrid...

, Article International Journal of Thermofluids ; Volume 24 , 2024 ; 26662027 (ISSN) ; Javadi, K ; Aftabsavar, A ; Velayati, V ; Sharif University of Technology
2024
Abstract
Numerous methods are conceived to pick up the heat from hot plats, where, amidst all, film cooling methods possess several benefits and have always been considered. However, increasing the cooling effectiveness of this method while reducing the coolant mass flow rate has always been considered one of the concerns, and much literature has yet to be presented to surmount this problem. In this study, three different novel jet configurations including simple, semi-mushroom, and semi-oval jet types are proposed to boost the effectiveness of the film cooling method while the mass rate is drastically lower compared to the traditional jet types. Instead of using the traditional film jet that usually...
Morphology of nanodroplets on structured surfaces
, Article Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics ; Volume 46, Issue 21 , May , 2013 ; 00223727 (ISSN) ; Moosavi, A ; Sharif University of Technology
2013
Abstract
We report different morphologies of nanodroplets over various topographical features of the supporting substrates. The effects of different parameters such as the profile of the disjoining pressure, droplet size and the geometrical parameters are studied and discussed. Also, the effects of a coating layer on the surface of the substrate are determined. It is demonstrated that the nanodroplets at some positions are not stable and gradually move to more stable positions so that the system has less energy. For grooves this results in a series of morphology diagrams of the nanodroplets over the grooves as a function of the grooves' width and the liquid volume
Study of the P-^ Effects on the Behavior of Split-Level Steel Structures
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khansari, Vahid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Due to unusual response of structures of buildings with irregularity in their architecture to dynamic excitations, to have a comprehensive knowledge of their behavior during earthquakes is of utmost importance. Building irregularities are in general divided into two major categories, namely Irregularity in Plane and Irregularity in Elevation, and one of the forms of the latter is where there is a split in the levels of the building. In this work, through a series of case studies, the effects of P- phenomenon on the behavior of steel split-level building structures were studied. 5, 10 and 15 story buildings with 5 and 6 bays, and level splitting of 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 cm were studied.

Three Dimensional Simulation of Morphology of Nanodroplets Near and on Structured Substrates
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Moosavi, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Mesoscopic hydrodynamic equations are solved employing a VOF based method to investigate the equilibrium shape of nanodroplets positioned over various topographic geometries of the supporting substrate for three-dimensional systems. By taking into account liquid-liquid and liquid-solid interactions a complex distribution for inter-molecular forces over the substrates (the disjoining pressure) is observed. In this research we show that motion of nanodroplets not only caused by contact angle difference in drplets two sides, but also depend on disjoining pressure parameters.Geometries with increasing complexities, from wedges to three dimensional edges and wedges, were explored with the main...
Investigating the Seismic Behaviour of Split-Level Building Structures
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khonsari, Vahid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Observations made after previous earthquakes have shown the crucial role of irregularities in initiating damage in buildings with irregularity, either in Plan or in Elevation. Since in existing Building Codes, there is no provision for the distribution of the Equivalent Static Loads for such buildings, designers have no option but to resort to Dynamic Analysis. In this work, the seismic behaviour of a group of two-dimensional steel building structures with irregularity in elevation, namely Split-Level buildings, was studied. The studied structures consist of a series of 5- and 15-storey frames having two parts with splitting distance of 150 cm. Both, moment-resisting and braced frames were...

Numerical Study of Base Plates under Biaxial Bending
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khonsari, Vahid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Base plates as the connecting components of steel structures to their foundations, have a crucial role in the behavior of these structures. In order to limit the thickness of base plates hence their cost within reasonable values, various types of attachments (stiffeners) are normally added to them. In this project 6 different configurations, Models, for the base plate and its attachments were considered and studied through finite element analysis. Each Model was studied under the combination of biaxial moments and a range of compressive loads including 0, 0.05 P/Py, 0.10 P/Py and 0.15 P/Py, where Py is the plastic load of the column. The moment-rotation curves of all models under various...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hosseini, Vahid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Reducing air pollutant emissions from vehicles is a difficult and time consuming procedure which needs utilizing of modern emission control equipment and setting strict regulations for car factories and drivers as well. How efficient these policies are and proposing operative solutions for air quality improvement depend on developing a sustainable model which is used in vehicle emission predictions and their share in total emissions. Emission factors are not constant values as they can be affected by various operational and ambient parameters. Development of Emission inventories calls for a huge number of measurements using different vehicles in diverse conditions. Thus, recognition of...

Partially Homogenous HCCI Combustion Chemical Kinetics Model Initial Conditions Development by CFD Modeling
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hosseini, Vahid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engines are the new generation of internal combustion engines which have diesel-like thermal efficiency, while they have low nitrogen oxide and soot emission. One of the major problems of HCCI engines is combustion timing control due to its dependence on reactivity of the charge and chemical kinetics. Moreover, limiting operation range between knock and misfiring is the other drawback of using these kind of engines. In the present work, partially homogeneous HCCI combustion in a single cylinder diesel engine is modeled using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) coupled with chemical kinetics. Simulation includes the engine cycle from exhaust valve...
Traffic Source Particle Pollution Distribution Using Micro-scale Simulation
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hosseini, Vahid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Today air pollution has become one of the major urban management concerns. Air pollution could have dangerous effects on human health in short time or long time in many situations. Numerical modelling is one of the most applicable among different ways for predicting pollutant concentration like field measurement, physical model in wind tunnel, and simulation. Modelling of pollutant dispersion is a way for estimating concentration and aggregation of the pollutant near the surface and with different distances from pollution source. In different dispersion models, one of simplest is the Gaussian model. In this approach it is supposed that emission plume obeys from Gaussian distribution and is...
Numerical Modeling of the Behavior of Base Plates with Various Degrees of Rigidity Under Cyclic Loads
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khonsari, Vahid (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
Due to the important role of base plates, both in transferring forces from the structure to the foundation, and also in transferring vibrations from soil to the structure, it is necessary to have sufficient knowledge on their behaviour and performance under monotonic and cyclic loading regimes. In fact, the behaviour of the supports of any structure cannot be identified without identifying the behaviour of its base plates. Numerous configurations with/without various types of attachments have been proposed and used for base plates. In this work, altogether six commonly-used types of base plates were studied and their behaviour under monotonic and cyclic loadings was obtained using commercial...
Studying the Behaviour of Split-Level Structures with Semi-Rigid Connections
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Khonsari, Vahid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Past earthquakes show that irregular structures have been more vulnerable than their regular counterparts. One of the common types of irregular buildings in urban areas is split-level ones. On the other hand, beam-to-column connections in steel structures are mostly of "semi-rigid" type. In this work, effects of different levels of rigidity of connections, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25%, on the behavior of a number of two-dimensional split-level steel structures, with 1.5 m difference in levels of floors, 2, 3, 5 and 6 bays, and 5, 10 and 15 stories, were studied. All frames were analyzed “with” and “without” considering the P-∆ phenomenon, with two methods, ‘equivalent static load,’ and ‘modal...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hosseini, Vahid (Supervisor)
Abstract
In recent years, the idea of Homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines has been in the center of attention as a new generation of internal combustion engines. Intense decrease in pollutant emission rate like NOx, low fuel consumption and high thermal efficiency are the main reasons of why these engines are in center of attention, however, some drawbacks, which the main one combustion control which happens in limited operation range between knock and misfiring has limited the use of these engines. Hence approaches like adding synthesis gas, using exhaust gas recirculation, controling effective comperession ratio by using variable valve timing, changing the input conditions...
