Street grids for efficient district cooling systems in high-density cities

The feasibility of district cooling systems is linked to their efficiency, which is associated with their capital and operational costs. For reasons of ownership and maintenance, the piping network commonly follows the city's street layout. This paper exam ...

Electron flux and pressure dynamic in the LHC vacuum pilot sector as a function of beam parameters and beam pipe properties

Ambrogio Fasoli, Elena Buratin, Vincent Baglin

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is affected by the electron cloud (EC) phenomenon that can provoke beam instabilities, detrimental heat loads and pressure increases in the vacuum system. An innovative dedicated system called vacuum pilot sector (VPS) provi ...

Computational parametric analysis of the design of cross-flow turbines under constraints

François Avellan, Sebastián Camilo Leguizamón Sarmiento

The cross-flow turbine is an attractive technology for small-scale hydropower generation thanks to its low capital cost and relatively high efficiency even under partial discharge operating conditions. It has been proposed that this kind of turbine can be ...

Fluid–structure interaction in pipe coils during hydraulic transients

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, David Ferràs Segura

The paper presents the analysis of fluid–structure interaction occurring during hydraulic transients in pipe coils by means of a four-equation model. The purpose is to understand and describe the effect of the coil movement on the transient wave. The four- ...

Fluid-structure interaction during hydraulic transients in pressurized pipes

David Ferràs Segura

The aim of the present research is to identify, describe and quantify the principal mechanic-hydraulic relationships during hydraulic transients in pressurized pipe flows in view of improving pipe design and reduce pipe and system failure. Phenomena affect ...

Two-phase flow patterns in U-bends and their contiguous straight tubes for different orientations, tube and bend diameters

John Richard Thome, Ricardo Lima

In two-phase systems there are many singularities in piping systems, one of which in particular are U-bends (also called 180 degrees return bends or U-tubes) found very often in air conditioning coils, refrigerant systems, etc. Contrary to the literature c ...

Modeling of Unsteady Friction and Viscoelastic Damping in Piping Systems

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Christian Landry, Andres Müller

In real systems, the phenomena, such as pipe-wall viscoelasticity, unsteady friction or fluid structure interaction induce additional damping and dispersion of transient pressure waves than that defined by classical waterhammer. In this paper, unsteady fri ...

A seamless reduced basis element method for 2D Maxwell's problem: An introduction

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Yixing Chen

We present a reduced basis element method (RBEM) for the time-harmonic Maxwell's equation. The RBEM is a Reduced Basis Method (RBM) with parameters describing the geometry of the computational domain, coupled with a domain decomposition method. The basic i ...
