Non-Oberbeck–Boussinesq (NOB) effects in three representative fluids are quantitatively
investigated in two-dimensional Rayleigh–Bénard convection. Numerical simulations are …

The rising number of applications of the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) or supercritical CO 2
(sCO 2) power systems have shaped a new branch of fluid mechanics called non-ideal …

High-amplitude events of the out-of-plane vorticity component ω z are analyzed by
stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (PIV) in the bulk region of turbulent Rayleigh …

We report on Rayleigh-Bénard convection with strongly varying fluid properties
experimentally and theoretically. Using pressurized sulfur-hexafluoride (SF 6) above its …

The feasibility of particle image velocimetry (PIV) in a thermally convective supercritical fluid
was investigated. Hereto a Rayleigh–Bénard convection flow was studied at pressure and …

The temporal characteristics of ZnO phosphor emission and the possibility to obtain
instantaneous and mean 2D temperature fields in fluids have been analysed in this article …

This work assesses the feasibility of the planar PIV technique to study the characteristics of a
siloxane vapor D 4. Titanium dioxide (TiO 2) seeding particles were used to track the motion …

Driven by fundamental thermodynamic efficiency considerations, an emerging trend in the
energy and propulsion systems is that the working fluid operates at a pressure above the …

Accurate models of turbulent buoyant flows are essential for the design of the cooling circuit
of nuclear reactors and passive safety systems. However, available models fail to fully …
