Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) is a cooling and lubrication variant applied, for instance, in drilling processes. In the present approach, a new vibration-assisted drilling process is analyzed, which has considerable potential for manufacturing o...

We examined the heave motion of a spherical buoy during a free-decay drop test. A comprehensive approach was adopted to study the oscillations of the buoy involving experimental measurements and complementary numerical simulations. The experiments we...

The performance of deionized (DI) water and hybrid nanofluids for pool boiling from a horizontal copper heater under atmospheric pressure conditions is numerically examined in the current study. The Eulerian–Eulerian scheme is adopted with a Re...

This paper considers the artificial freezing of an argillite-like clay layer containing a NaCl salt solution in its pore space. The experimental results of the thermophysical properties of the clay with various salinities and water content in soil sa...

The effect was clarified of the design parameters on the heat transfer of an impingement steam jet applied to continuous liquid food sterilization with the aim of high heating performance. The study investigated the effects of the steam and water Rey...

The objective of this study was to optimize the design of the injection nozzle hole of the fuel injector of a model MGT engine. To achieve a higher combustion efficiency of the mixed gas in the combustion chamber, first, well-mixed homogeneous gas sh...

A simplified model based on the Modified Mild-Slope Equation with inclusions is developed for modelling the scattering of waves from multiple heaving point absorbers arranged in an array in general bottom topography. The model is used, in conjunction...

The search for high aerodynamic performance of a race car is one of the main aspects of the design process. The flow around the basic body shape is complicated by the presence of the rotating wheels. This is especially true in race cars on which the...

In modelling turbulent flow around buildings, the computational domain needs to be much larger than the immediate neighbourhood of the building, resulting in computational costs that are excessive for many engineering applications. Two nested models...
