Abruptly changing the gaseous state of a substance to the liquid one with a compression in
a shock wave is a very special phenomenon. In a usual shock wave compressing an …

A study about convergence of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) applied to aerodynamic
optimization problems for transonic flows of dilute and dense gases is presented. Specific …

The value of the fundamental derivative of gas dynamics, Γ, is a quantitative measure of the
variation of the speed of sound with respect to density in isentropic transformations, such as …

This thesis presents an accurate study about the fluid-dynamics of dense gases and their
potential application as working fluids in Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs). The ORCs are …

The preliminary design of a Ludwieg tube experiment for the verification of the existence of
nonclassical rarefaction shock waves in dense vapors is here critically analyzed by means …

Since its origin in the 1960's and the seminal articles of Smagorinsky1, Deardorff2 and
Leonard3, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) has brought invaluable understanding to the …

The present article reviews some recent contributions to the study of dense gas effects in
turbulent flows by using high-performance computing models, namely, direct and large eddy …

A study of dense-gas effects on the stability of compressible boundary-layer flows is
conducted. From the laminar similarity solution, the temperature variations are small due to …

In this paper, the problem of increasing the energy capacity of compressed air used as a
mobile carrier of energy is considered. An idea of preliminary Joule-Thomson self-heating of …

The dynamics of ideal and non-ideal compressible-fluid flows within line-cavity systems is
investigated by means of numerical simulations. SU2 code is employed to perform 2D …
