Abstract: Small vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are good candidates to extract energy from wind in urban areas because they are easy to install, service, and do not generate much noise; however, the efficiency of small turbines ...

Abstract: A theoretical study of the free-surface flow of a viscoelastic fluid around a horizontal cylinder is reported in this paper. The fluid layer has initially a uniform thickness, and, at some ...

Abstract: For the present work, a numerical simulation of the 100% oxy-firing combustion process inside an industrial aluminum remelting reverb furnace is presented. Three different configurations were ...
