This study aimed to estimate the drag and lift coefficients of the long-span bridge pylon using the finite volume method (FVM). The k-ω turbulence model was applied to analyze the behavior of wind flow around the pylon, yielding drag and lift coefficient values with an error of 0.98% compared to a previous tunnel experiment. Four recommended cross-...

A 3-dimensional incompressible laminar flow and heat-transfer in a plate-fin heat exchanger (PFHE) where investigated numerically in this article. The influence of mounting a longitudinal vortex generator (LVG) on the offset rectangular-triangular fin (ORT) in the PFHE, on thermal and hydro-dynamic fields are presented. The novelty of this study is...
