OpenFOAM is one of the most widely used open-source computational fluid dynamics tools
and often employed for chemical engineering applications. However, there is no systematic …

The development of current and next generation high performance electronic devices has
led to smaller components in more densely packed spaces. The increasing power levels …

The exploitation of flow pulsation in low-Reynolds number micro/minichannel flows is a
potentially useful technique for enhancing cooling of high power photonics and electronics …

In this article, an exact solution of the Navier–Stokes equations is presented for the motion of
an incompressible viscous fluid in a channel with arbitrary pressure distribution. A …

Recent studies on laminar, fully-developed, sinusoidally pulsating pipe flows have revealed
the existence of a unique signature map that can be used for the measurement of the …

In this paper, we present an in-depth analysis of pulsatile shear-thinning flows in two-
dimensional channels. The characteristic viscosity was determined based on steady-state …

The high-Strouhal-number pulsatile flow in a curved pipe is studied numerically. A general
force analysis is developed for the bend force, where the new contribution from flow …

The aim of this research project is to improve the thermal performance of passive flat plate
solar collectors using a novel cost effective enhanced heat transfer technique. The project …

Pulsating flow has potential for enhanced cooling of future electronics and photonics
systems. To better understand the mechanisms underlying any heat transfer enhancement, it …

Analytical investigations are carried out on pulsating laminar incompressible fully developed
channel and pipe flows. An analytical solution of the velocity profile for arbitrary time …
