Curved pipes are essential components of nearly all the industrial process equipments,
ranging from power production, chemical and food industries, heat exchangers, nuclear …

Flows in manifolds are of great importance in quite diverse fields of science and technology,
including fuel cells, spargers, solar collectors, microchannels, porous infiltration and …

An analytical model based on mass and momentum conservation has been developed to
solve the flow and pressure distribution in fuel cell stacks. While existing models neglected …

Water and air behave in a similar way and their flow can be described in a very accurate
way by the Navier–Stokes equations. Others fluids behave differently: they cannot be …

Fluid flow and heat transfer problems are present in all of our daily life. For example, if we
walk along a river and look at the water flowing with high speed over the river-bed, we …

A general theoretical model based on mass and momentum conservation has been
developed to solve the flow distribution and the pressure drop in Z-type configurations of fuel …

The effect of rotation on a homogeneous turbulent shear flow has been studied by means of
a series of direct numerical simulations with different rotation numbers. The evolution of …

Due to the importance of predicting the SIDR1 associated with engineering problems such
as combustion chambers, draft tube of the Francis and Kaplan turbines, heat exchanger …

The complex geometry of rotating machines makes the flows strongly affected by rotation
and curvature, which are challenging for turbulence modeling. During the development of …

Abstract Large Eddy Simulation (LES) studies of isothermal and incompressible turbulent
swirling flows in a model gas turbine combustion chamber geometry have been carried out …
