COVID-19 is an airborne disease, with the vast majority of infections occurring indoors. In comparison, little transmission occurs outdoors. Here, we investigate the airborne transmission pathways that differentiate the indoors from outdoors and conc...
The Reynolds number (Re), introduced in the late 19th century, has become a fundamental parameter in a lot of scientific fields—the main one being fluid mechanics—as it allows for the determination of flow characteristics by distinguishin...
Helically coiled pipes are widely used in many industrial and engineering applications because of their compactness, larger heat transfer area per unit volume and higher efficiency in heat and mass transfer compared to other pipe geometries. They are...
Physics-informed neural networks (PINN) can be used to predict flow fields with a minimum of simulated or measured training data. As most technical flows are turbulent, PINNs based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations incorpo...
The significant growth of artificial intelligence (AI) methods in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) has opened opportunities for fluid dynamics and its applications in science, engineering and medicine. Developing AI methods for fluid dyna...
Bubble columns are used in many different industrial applications, and their design and characterisation have always been very complex. In recent years, the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has become very popular in the field of multiphase...
Machine learning-based modeling of physical systems has attracted significant interest in recent years. Based solely on the underlying physical equations and initial and boundary conditions, these new approaches allow to approximate, for example, the...
This article provides a comprehensive review and best practices for numerically simulating hydraulic flushing for reservoir sediment management. Three sediment flushing types are discussed: drawdown flushing, pressure flushing, and turbidity current...
In this work, we underscore the significance of selecting an appropriate scaling to derive dimensionless quantities that accurately reflect their dimensional counterparts, thereby enhancing the comprehension of the underlying physics. For the loss of...
Designing a combustion chamber for gas turbines is considered both a science and an art. This study presents a comprehensive methodology for designing an annular combustion chamber tailored to the operating conditions of a CFM-56 engine, a widely use...
