This article reviews recent advances in the understanding of turbulent flows of non-ideal
gases through the use of high-fidelity direct and large eddy simulations. In particular, the …

The gas dynamics of single-phase nonreacting fluids whose thermodynamic states are close
to vapor-liquid saturation, close to the vapor-liquid critical point, or in supercritical conditions …

ORGANIC Rankine cycle (ORC) turbogenerators are a viable option as stationary energy
converters for external heat sources, in the low power range (from a few kW up to a few MW) …

The feasibility of energy storage is of paramount importance for solar power systems, to the
point that it can be the technology enabler. Regarding concentrated solar power (CSP) …

Supersonic expansions of a molecularly complex vapor occurring within the non-ideal
thermodynamic region in the close proximity of liquid-vapor saturation curve were …

The capabilities of the open-source SU2 software suite for the numerical simulation of
viscous flows over unstructured grid are extended to non-ideal compressible-fluid dynamics …

A novel blow-down wind tunnel is currently being commissioned at the Politecnico di Milano,
Italy, to investigate real-gas behavior of organic fluids operating at subsonic-supersonic …

A computational tool for non-ideal supersonic nozzle flows is developed to perform direct
design of nozzle geometries and flow analysis of shock-free off-design conditions. So-called …

This paper presents a new class of Bethe-Zel'dovich-Thompson fluids, which are expected
to exhibit nonclassical gasdynamic behavior in the single-phase vapor region. These are the …

In this paper, we investigate the real gas flows which occur within organic Rankine cycle
(ORC) turbines. A new method for the design of nozzles operating with dense gases is …
