Abstract: New fuels with high-energy-density are desirable for many combustion applications. Two types are reviewed in this paper, namely, mixtures resulting from addition of certain metallic or nonmetallic ...

Abstract: Validation of a three-dimensional computational algorithm for viscous flow analysis has been conducted for two types of Francis turbine runner geometry, one low head and one high head, using ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional flow analysis of a radial inflow turbine distributor using full steady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations is made. The numerical prediction of the total energy loss ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional turbulent viscous flow analyses for hydraulic turbine elbow draft tubes are performed by solving Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations closed with a two-equation turbulence ...

Abstract: Viscous flow analysis based on the full Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations is being applied to successfully predict turbulent flow characteristics and energy losses in different hydraulic ...

Abstract: The spiral casing of a hydraulic turbine is a complex flow device which contains a passage of 360-degree turning and multiple elements of airfoils (the so-called distributor). A three-dimensional ...

Abstract: For many continuous ingot casting processes, turbulent heat transfer in the molten pool plays a critical role which, along with buoyancy and surface tension, is responsible for the quality of ...

Abstract: The adhesion of leukocytes to substrates is an important biomedical problem and has drawn extensive research. In this study, employing both single and compound drop models, we investigate how ...

Abstract: The fluid flow through a stenosed artery and its bypass graft in an anastomosis can substantially influence the outcome of bypass surgery. To help improve our understanding of this and related ...

Abstract: Many critical issues in biofluid dynamics occur at the boundaries between fluids, solids, or both. These issues can be very complex since in many cases the boundaries are deformable and moving. ...
