Abstract: The applicability of several Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) turbulence models in calculating the transient evolution of a buoyancy-induced flow reversal along a vertical heated plate is analyzed through the use of ...

Abstract: Harmonic oscillations from cantileverlike structures have found use in applications ranging from thermal management to atomic force microscopy and propulsion, due to their simplicity in design and ease of implementation. ...

Abstract: Inlet conditions for a turbulent jet are known to affect the near field behavior but eventually lose their significance downstream. Metrics of importance are often derived from mean and fluctuating velocity components, but ...

Abstract: In this work, the Navier–Stokes equations are solved for a laminar, round jet in a large confinement. The flow is characterized as a function of the enclosuretojet diameter ratio, in the range 40–100, and the Reynolds ...

Abstract: Over the past 50 years, an industry-wide shift within the nuclear community has led to increased utilization of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to supplement nuclear reactor safety (NRS) analyses. Although several “best ...

Abstract: Turbulent mixing in the near region of a round jet with three slot lobes is examined via mean velocity and turbulent statistics and structures at a Reynolds number of 15,000. The design utilizes separate flow motivations ...

Abstract: The multiphysics object-oriented simulation environment (moose) is a code package that couples a variety of physics modules, allowing for highly accessible multiphysics simulations. The physics modules include a finite ...
