This study experimentally investigated boiling phenomena and heat transfer enhancement on sintered Cu micro/nanoporous surfaces under saturated pool boiling conditions. To evaluate the effects of the combined micro/nanostructures, microporous Cu laye...

We present a new finite element framework for modeling compressible, turbulent multiphase flows with heat transfer. For two-fluid systems with a free surface, the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method is implemented without the need for interface reconstructi...

The Terra Incognita (or gray-zone) problem seen in atmospheric flow simulations causes serious consequences: it implies, e.g., significantly incorrect flow predictions and results that often simply depend on flow simulation settings as the computatio...

A two-dimensional D2Q9 lattice Boltzmann (LBM) model with a sinusoidal pressure inlet boundary condition is implemented to study pulsatile flow through pseudo-periodic porous channels. Simulations in MATLAB are performed for geometries containing per...

Over the past decade, two key technologies—high-speed imaging (including cameras and lighting) [...]

Understanding the transient flow phenomena accompanying projectile discharge is essential for improving the safety, efficiency, and predictability of small-scale ballistic systems. Despite extensive numerical studies on muzzle flows and shock formati...

Fluid mechanics research is currently undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the integration of advanced computational intelligence [...]

Predicting phase-change heat transfer in two-phase closed thermosyphons (TPCTs) represents a significant challenge owing to the complex interaction of boiling, condensation, and conjugate heat transfer (CHT) mechanisms. This study presents a numerica...

A computational study is conducted on shock wave propagation and diffraction in an annular duct. The curved geometry and central obstruction of the annular configuration generate complex wave phenomena not typically observed in linear channels. The e...

In the literature, there is a scarcity of studies examining the combined effects of vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) and surface roughness on a bluff body. This paper contributes to the limited studies and literature on VIV by highlighting the pronoun...
