Surface roughness can significantly influence the fluid dynamics and heat transfer in
convective flows by inducing perturbations in the velocity profile which affect surface drag …

Immersed boundary methods (IBMs) are versatile and efficient computational techniques to
solve flow problems in complex geometric configurations that retain the simplicity and …

Developing a high-performance battery thermal management system (BTMS) to keep the
temperature of lithium-ion battery (LIB) in a suitable range has become of great interest for …

Circulation of cerebrospinal fluid and interstitial fluid around the central nervous system and
through the brain transports not only those water-like fluids but also any solutes they carry …

Ice accretion has adverse effects on a range of commercial and residential activities. The
force required to remove ice from a surface is typically considered to scale with the iced …

In this work, a transformation, which maps the mean velocity profiles of compressible wall-
bounded turbulent flows to the incompressible law of the wall, is proposed. Unlike existing …

This paper presents the main objectives and a description of the SU2 suite, including the
novel software architecture and open-source software engineering strategy. SU2 is a …

Nanometre-scale pores and capillaries have long been studied because of their importance
in many natural phenomena and their use in numerous applications. A more recent …

Boundary layer flow is very important in many engineering applications, such as thermal
padding, oil bed retrieval, percolation, heat exchangers, and geothermal analysis. In this …

Although xylem embolism is a key process during drought‐induced tree mortality, its
relationship to wood anatomy remains debated. While the functional link between bordered …
