Abstract: In his now classical paper on pressure gradient turbulent boundary layers, Clauser concluded that equilibrium flows were very special flows difficult to achieve experimentally and that few flows ...

Abstract: By using the RANS boundary layer equations, it will be shown that the outer part of an adverse pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer tends to remain in equilibrium similarity, even near ...

Abstract: The bipolar plate is an important and integral part of the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell and PEM fuel cell stacks. Currently bipolar plates represent more than 80% by weight and ...

Abstract: The gas diffusion layer (GDL) plays an important role in maintaining suitable water management in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The properties of the gas diffusion layer, such as its ...

Abstract: Based on the theory of similarity analysis and the analogy between momentum and energy transport equations, the temperature scalings have been derived for forced convection turbulent boundary ...

Abstract: A plate structure of a triangular truss core sandwiched by two panels is treated as an equivalent homogeneous laminated plate by obtaining equivalent anisotropic elastic constants. The equivalent ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional steady-state electrochemical mathematical model is developed where the mass, fluid, and thermal transport processes are considered, as well as the electrochemical reaction ...
