Abstract: Across the open literature, there is no clear consensus on what the most suitable modeling fidelity is for rotating cavity flows. Although it is a widely held opinion that unsteady Reynolds-averaged-Navier–Stokes (URANS) ...

Abstract: The present work is aimed to examine how the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) and main three-dimensional (3D) passage aerodynamic features may be affected by a nonadiabatic wall temperature condition. A systematic computational ...

Abstract: Hydrothermal-assisted transient jet fusion (HTJF) is a powder-based additive manufacturing (AM) method of ceramics, which utilizes a water-mediated hydrothermal mechanism to fuse particles together, eliminating the use of ...

Abstract: Many separate storm-water systems in China suffer functional problems of discharge of dry-weather pollutants or non-storm-water materials into storm-water systems via pipes or other direct connections, which plays as a ...

Abstract: The flow and heat transfer within rotating cavities is often discussed as a conjugate problem; the temperature distribution within the cavity disks drives the large-scale flow structure within the cavity, and the cavity ...

Abstract: Modern high-pressure turbine blades operate at high-speed conditions. The over-tip-leakage (OTL) flow can be high-subsonic or even transonic. From the consideration of problem simplification and cost reduction, the OTL ...

Abstract: Typical turbomachinery aerothermal problems of practical interest are characterized by flow structures of wide-ranging scales, which interact with each other. Such multiscale interactions can be observed between the flow ...

Abstract: Hydropower operating rules can guide reservoir release and storage for maximizing hydropower generation. The optimal hydropower operating rules are usually derived by numerical hydropower simulation methods. This study ...

Abstract: Cracking is a common early disease of asphalt pavements. To evaluate the temperature shrinkage cracking resistance of an open-graded friction course (OGFC), the viscoelastic parameters of an OGFC mixture at different ...

Abstract: The K-edge technique is a nondestructive analysis (NDA) method that provides key data for nuclear material accountancy, mainly for the measurement of U and Pu concentrations in spent fuel reprocessing processes, with an ...
