Many powders employed in the food and pharmaceutical industries are produced through spray drying because it is a cost efficient process that offers control over the particle size. However, most commercially available spray-driers cannot produce drops with ...

Vortex breakdown of swirling, round jet flows is investigated in the compressible, subsonic regime by means of Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). This is achieved by solving the compressible Navier-Stokes equations on a cylindrical grid using high-order sp ...

Highly-loaded impellers, typically used in turbocharger and gas turbine applications, exhaust an unsteady, transonic flow that is non-uniform across the span and pitch and swirling at angles approaching tangential. With the exception of the flow angle, con ...

Amorphous nanoparticles (a-NPs) have physicochemical properties distinctly different from those of the corresponding bulk crystals; for example, their solubility is much higher. However, many materials have a high propensity to crystallize and are difficul ...

Statistical-thermodynamics modelling of the built environment in relation to urban ecology

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

Various aspects of the built environment have important effects on ecology. Providing suitable metrics for the built forms so as to quantify and model their internal relations and external ecological footprints, however, remains a challenge. Here we provid ...

The entropy power inequality (EPI) yields lower bounds on the differential entropy of the sum of two independent real-valued random variables in terms of the individual entropies. Versions of the EPI for discrete random variables have been obtained for spe ...

High Voltage Pulsed DBD Effects on the Aerodynamic Performances and on the Shock Buffet

Christoph Hollenstein, Peter Ott, Pénélope Leyland, Philip Peschke

The applications of surface dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators, (DBD), have known a considerable interest recently in the field of flow control. In general, such actuators consist of two electrodes separated by an insulation covering the lower e ...

Nanosecond Pulsed Plasma Actuators

Christoph Hollenstein, Philip Peschke

This paper summarizes the results of Plasmaero (EU project) partners on the characterization of plasma actuators based on nanosecond pulsed discharges. Results cover electrical aspects, optical discharge visualizations and measurements of the plasma-induce ...
