In this work, the effects of jet impact angle and water flow on the heat-transfer coefficient in boron steel probes were analyzed. Angles of 90°, 75° and 60° were used with stirring flows of 33 l·min−1, 25 l·min−...

The purpose of this work is to explore the potential of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) as a black-box optimizer for turbulence model identification. For this, we consider a Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) closure model of a round turb...

This article presents single- and multi-disciplinary shape optimizations of a generic business jet wing at two transonic cruise flow conditions. The studies performed are based on two high-fidelity gradient-based optimization tools, assisted by the a...

This research conducts a numerical study of a wave energy converter (WEC) device with five coupled hydropneumatic chambers, operating based on the principle of an oscillating water column (OWC). A turbine was not included, only considering the tube w...

Characterization of the physiological hemodynamic environment in normal pulmonary arteries is a key factor in understanding pathological conditions. This study aimed to analyze the morphology and hemodynamics in the healthy adult pulmonary bifurcatio...

This study presents a novel approach to using a gated recurrent unit (GRU) model, a deep neural network, to predict turbulent flows in a Lagrangian framework. The emerging velocity field is predicted based on experimental data from a strained turbule...

Given the industry-wide trend of continual increases in the size of utility-scale wind turbines, a point will come where reductions will need to be made in terms of the weight of the turbine’s blades to ensure they can be as long as needed with...

This study investigates water droplets impacting a two-layered pool, consisting of a deep pool of water above which an ultrathin a suspended layer of silicone oil is present. Initially, the difference between the impact dynamics of water droplets on...

Since the discovery of extracorporeal lithotripsy, there has been an increased interest in studying shock wave-induced cavitation, both to improve this technique and to explore novel biotechnological applications. As shock waves propagate through flu...
