Abstract: Recent concerns relating to global warming caused by greenhouse gases, coupled with a growing awareness of the limited available resources of fossil fuels, have spurred an interest in alternative ...

Abstract: Liquid immersion cooling is rapidly becoming the mechanism of choice for the newest generation of supercomputers. Miniaturization at both the chip and module level places a severe constraint on ...

Abstract: Results are presented for an experimental study of fluid flow in models of gas turbine disk cavities. Experiments were performed on 70-cm-dia disks for rotational Reynolds numbers up to 2.29 ...

Abstract: The sealing characteristics of an air-cooled gas turbine disk cavity have been studied using laser sheet flow visualization. Experiments were performed on a simplified half-scale model of an ...
