In this work we investigate the effectiveness of the Backward Euler-Backward Differentiation Formula (BE-BDF2) in solving unsteady compressible inviscid and viscous flows. Furthermore, to improve its accuracy and its order of convergence, we have equ...

Air-to-air indirect evaporative cooling (IEC) systems are particular heat exchangers that use the latent heat of evaporation of water to cool down an air stream, without increasing its specific humidity, thus guaranteeing adequate thermohygrometric c...

Thanks to recent technological and IT advances, there have been rapid developments in biomedical and health research applications of computational fluid dynamics. This is a methodology of computer-based simulation that uses numerical solutions of the...

Spray impacts can be found in several technical applications and consist of many single droplets, which impact under different trajectories on wetted walls. This study investigates the asymmetric crown morphology resulting from an oblique impact (&al...

Dropwise condensation (DWC) of steam over hybrid hydrophobic–hydrophilic surfaces is numerically investigated via a phenomenological, Lagrangian model. The full non-dimensionalization of the heat transfer model, needed to determine the droplet...

In this article, the influence of splitting a local underfloor air distribution system (UFAD) on indoor thermal comfort for three occupants was studied numerically. A validated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was employed in this investigati...

Steady-state one-dimensional flows of five-component air behind a normal shock wave are considered with a one-temperature model. A mathematical model is formulated to describe the relaxation of a five-component air mixture with a one-temperature non-...

Transport and mixing in the gastric duct occur via peristaltic flow. In vivo data are hard to collect and require strict ethical approval. In contrast, both in vitro and in silico studies allow detailed investigation and can be constructed to answer...

Solving problems of detonation control is associated with obtaining detailed information about the gas dynamics accompanying the detonation process. This paper focuses on the dynamics of real gas flow through a plane detonation wave. The influence of...

The complicated interaction between a fluid flow and a deformable structure is referred to as fluid–structure interaction (FSI). FSI plays a crucial role in the functioning of the aortic valve. Blood exerts stresses on the leaflets as it passes...
