The integral components of heat exchangers and in particular the tubes, tubesheets and
tube-to-tubesheet joints have vital roles in the proper functioning of this equipment. Several …

The problem of erosion due to water droplet impact has been a major concern for several
industries for a very long time and it keeps reinventing itself wherever a component rotates …

The fabrication of microstructures on surfaces is an innovative approach to relieve slurry
erosion. Understanding the effect of the dimensions of the surface microstructure on slurry …

Physical cleaning techniques are of great concern to remove particulate contamination
because of their low environmental impact. One of the promising candidates is based on …

Abstract The HLLC (Harten–Lax–van Leer contact) approximate Riemann solver for
computing solutions to hyperbolic systems by means of finite volume and discontinuous …

The impact of a low-speed droplet on a very-thin liquid film on a solid surface was analyzed
experimentally by observing the impact force and droplet behavior. A high impact force and …

In this study, the erosion behavior of aluminum material was tested in a pulsed-jet erosion
facility for a wind turbine blade, wherein the droplet behavior was simulated by a liquid slug …

In this short communication, the rain erosion mechanism on a leading-edge half cylinder
was investigated both experimentally and numerically focusing on the influence of leading …

The freezing of droplets upon impact with solid walls is a common phenomenon that
significantly impacts various areas of social production. Therefore, it is essential to study the …

In this study, the effect of the impact velocity of a droplet on the time-dependent force exerted
on the droplet and droplet pressure during high-speed [O (100 m/s)] liquid droplet …
