The present study investigates the flow in a multi-cylinder tandem array. A primary aim is to
build a framework for understanding the flow as the number of cylinders becomes large. Two …

Tube bundle heat exchangers have been recognized as the most efficient means of thermal
exchange. The staggered row method can enhance the performance of a heat exchanger …

With the increasing requirements for heat transfer efficiency, large-scale and high flow
speed are the two critical issues for the common heat exchanger design. The failure of heat …

Numerous large-scale wind turbines have been built in tropical cyclone zones in China
during the last decades. However, considerable failures of parked wind turbines have been …

Flows through periodic cylinder arrays have been studied extensively for applications to
heat exchangers, porous media, chemical reactors, and computational fluid mechanics …

Bird flight is a remarkable adaption that has allowed thousands of species to colonize all
terrestrial habitats. A golden eagle has impressive flying abilities, such as hovering …

A two-dimensional tube bundles fluid–structure coupling model was developed using the
CFD approach, with a rigid body motion equation and the Newmark integral method. The …

Wear and tear are the most common failures of tubes in cross-flow during long time
operation of a steam generator due to the fluid induced vibrations. A fluid-elastic approach …

Supercritical carbon dioxide is preferable for the working fluids for various industries and
power cycles due to the advantages of environmental protection, compactness, high energy …

The key to high manoeuvre ability in bird flight lies in the combined morphing of wings and
tail. The perching of a wild Haliaeetus Albicilla without running or wing flapping is recorded …
