Drying fruits and vegetables is a procedure of food preservation with simultaneous heat,
mass, and momentum transfer, which increases the shelf life of the food product. The aim of …

Direct steam generation (DSG) in parabolic-trough collectors (PTC) is one of the most
attractive technologies in concentrated solar power plants. Its appeal stems from its ability to …

Recently, many studies for flow characteristics have used commercial computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) software to simulate flow phenomena in various fields. The aim of this study …

Over the past twenty years, there has been a growing interest in the development of
numerical models that can realistically capture the progressive failure of rock masses. In …

Magnetorheological fluids involve multi-physics phenomena which are manifested by
interactions between structural mechanics, electromagnetism and rheological fluid flow. In …

Freezing is a well-established preservation method used to maintain the freshness of
perishable food products during storage, transportation and retail distribution; however, food …

With the development of power electronics technology, power modules delivery
considerably greater power density, which makes junction temperature an important …

Head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) describe the spatial filtering of acoustic signals by a
listener's anatomy. With the increase of computational power, HRTFs are nowadays more …

We investigate the use of low-rank approximations to reduce the cost of sparsedirect
multifrontal solvers. Among the different matrix representations that havebeen proposed to …

The progress of food 3D printing (3DP) applications demands a full understanding of the
printing behavior of food materials. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation can help …
