The working principle of particle-based solar receivers is to utilize the absorptivity of a
dispersed particle phase in an otherwise optically transparent carrier fluid. In comparison to …

In ordinary fluids, such as water or air, similarity between thermal and dynamical fields holds
and it is commonly accepted that implementing a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code …

For film cooling of combustor linings and turbine blades, it is critical to be able to accurately
model jets-in-crossflow. Current Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) models often …

Thermal fields and cooling flows over rotating turbine blades are usually a non-equilibrium
anisotropic flow, and most turbulence models in RANS simulations do not provide …

Algebraic closures for the turbulent scalar fluxes were evaluated for a discrete hole film
cooling geometry using the results from a high-fidelity large eddy simulation (LES). Several …

In this paper, analysis of the turbulent flow and heat transfer under pulsating jet impinging on
the asymmetrical concave surface has been performed. An asymmetric concave surface with …

Heavy liquid metals are often considered as coolant fluids for fast nuclear reactors because
of their physical and neutronic properties. Nevertheless, these fluids are not well known as …

The study of heat transfer in heavy liquid metals has gained more attention in the last
several years due to their applications in new advanced nuclear reactors. These fluids are …

Accurately predicting turbulent heat transfer in non-equilibrium anisotropic flow fields is a
challenging task in Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations. This paper aims …

In this paper, the effects of operational and geometrical uncertainties on flow and thermal
characteristics of film cooling are presented and discussed. The computational cost of …
