Experimental Performance of Completely Passive Single and Recirculating Loop Thermosyphon Cooling Systems using Low GWP R1234ze and R1234yf

This paper proposes a novel concept for a loop thermosyphon cooling system, designed for the transistor module of a transformer. The thermosyphon uses a free convection cooled condenser, making the system completely passive, i.e. no energy consumption is n ...

Two-Phase Flow Simulations within Plate Heat Exchangers

John Richard Thome, Raffaele Luca Amalfi

Plate heat exchangers are widely adopted in many industrial applications, such as ventilation, air conditioning, heat transfer processes, heat pumps and cooling of hydrodynamic circuits in engines. They provide higher heat transfer performance, compactness ...

A Monolithic Approach to Fluid–Composite Structure Interaction

Simone Deparis, Davide Forti, Annalisa Quaini

We study a nonlinear fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problem between an incompressible, viscous fluid and a composite elastic structure consisting of two layers: a thin layer (membrane) in direct contact with the fluid, and a thick layer (3D linearly ela ...

The viscous torsional pendulum

François Gallaire, Francesco Viola

A disk that is free to rotate about its axis and connected to a torsional spring behaves as a damped oscillator when twisted and released. The initial elastic energy is periodically turned to kinetic energy and it gets progressively dissipated by the visco ...

Longitudinal and Transverse Instability of Ion Acoustic Waves

Stephan Brunner

Ion acoustic waves are found to be susceptible to at least two distinct decay processes. Which process dominates depends on the parameters. In the cases examined, the decay channel where daughter modes propagate parallel to the mother mode is found to domi ...

Deformation of a soft helical filament in an axial flow at low Reynolds number

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We perform a numerical investigation of the deformation of a rotating helical filament subjected to an axial flow, under low Reynolds number conditions, motivated by the propulsion of bacteria using helical flagella. Given its slenderness, the helical rod ...

Development of a finite volume particle method for 3-D fluid flow simulations

François Avellan, Ebrahim Jahanbakhsh, Audrey Paulette Solange Maertens, Christian Vessaz

The Finite Volume Particle Method (FVPM) is a meshless method for simulating fluid flows which includes many of the desirable features of mesh-based finite volume methods. FVPM benefits from particle interaction vectors to weight conservative fluxes exchan ...

Mind The Gap

Matthieu Dreyer

The tip leakage vortex (TLV), which develops in the clearance between the blade tip and the casing of axial turbomachines, appears in many industrial applications, such as air transportation, space rockets and hydraulic machines. In the latter, cavitation ...

Predicting the state and properties of Deepwater Horizon oil under pressure using the Peng-Robinson equation of state

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Jonas Gros

Being able to estimate the partitioning behavior of the live oil mixture between a gas and a hydrocarbon liquid phase is crucial for valid modeling of the behavior of the emitted fluid. Equations of state are a well-known way to estimate the phase partitio ...
