Abstract: A dynamic model for a shell-type amplified piezoelectric actuator (APA) is proposed. The dimensions of the shell of a typical shell-type actuator allow one to model it as a set of connected beams. The contribution of the ...

Abstract: Parcel-based simulations are the most common method to simulate fuel sprays, especially for reacting conditions, due to their lower computational cost compared to more highly resolved simulations. It is important, however, ...

Abstract: Recent improvements in computing power and numerical techniques have enabled us resolve minute details of spray plume behavior and its wall boundary interactions, and made detailed spray simulations using large-eddy ...
