In recent years, phase change materials have played an important role in the field of energy
storage because of their flexibility and high efficiency in energy storage and release …

Ocean thermal energy offers the possibility to solve the contradiction between long-term and
high-frequency observation and finite power of unmanned underwater vehicles. There are …

Considerable advances have been attained during the last decade in the theoretical and
experimental investigation of electrode phenomena in high-pressure arc discharges, in …

The numerical simulation of phase-change heat transfer using the traditional equivalent heat
capacity method often faces challenges in stability and accurately predicting solid-liquid …

A hybrid numerical method for modelling the evolution of sharp phase interfaces on fixed
grids is presented. We focus attention on two‐dimensional solidification problems, where the …

In this paper, a survey of the most relevant advances in natural neighbour Galerkin methods
is presented. In these methods (also known as natural element methods, NEM), the Sibson …

A model of cathode spots in high-current vacuum arcs is developed with account of all the
potentially relevant mechanisms: the bombardment of the cathode surface by ions coming …

This paper presents a smoothed effective heat capacity model that is combined with element-
free Galerkin (EFG) method, to solve heat transfer problems with phase change. The …
