Abstract: Fluctuating jets energized by local excitations can perform operations similar to those of electric circuits but without electricity or moving parts. Some have termed these circuits “fluidic computers.” It is known that ...

Abstract: Alzheimer's disease is a progressive degenerative condition that has various levels of effect on one's memory. It is thought to be caused by a buildup of protein in small fluid-filled spaces in the brain called perivascular ...

Abstract: Acoustics and ligament formation within a selfgenerating and selfsustaining pulsating threestream injector are analyzed and discussed due to the importance of breakup and atomization of jets for agricultural, chemical, and ...

Abstract: Although coaxial airblast primary atomization has been studied for decades, relatively little attention has been given to threestream designs; this is especially true for transonic selfpulsating injectors. Herein, the ...

Abstract: A computational study was carried out to investigate the effects of internal geometry changes on the likelihood of solids buildup within, and the efficiency of, an industrial dust collector. Combustible solids held up in ...

Abstract: Two types of high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy were tested using computational models of the human upper airway to investigate cannula geometry's effect on CO2 flush. Models were run with a generic HFNC geometry, ...

Abstract: Computational analyses aimed at the viscous sublayer (VSL) separation-hindering nature of boundary-layer embedded flow control ridges (FCRs), such as sharkskin denticles, are absent. Parametrically quantifying the effects ...

Abstract: Thermal runaway from hot spots in systems such as solar energy storage poses a safety concern. Tools for rapid analysis of these systems would be exceedingly useful in their development and maintenance. The “lumped ...
