Continuously improving heat transfer efficiency is one of the important goals in the field of
energy. Compact heat exchangers characterized by microscale flow and heat transfer have …

A hypersonic, spatially evolving turbulent boundary layer at Mach 12.48 with a cooled wall is
analysed by means of direct numerical simulations. At the selected conditions, massive …

This article reviews recent advances in the understanding of turbulent flows of non-ideal
gases through the use of high-fidelity direct and large eddy simulations. In particular, the …

A Mach-10 hypersonic boundary layer of air overriding a cold, isothermal, non-catalytic flat
wall, and with a stagnation enthalpy of in semi-local viscous units, lead to air dissociation in …

In this study, the open-source Hypersonics Task-based Research (HTR) solver for
hypersonic aerothermodynamics is described. The physical formulation of the code includes …

It is generally believed that the temperature and the velocity fields are highly coupled in
compressible wall-bounded turbulence. In the present study, we employ a linear model, ie …

This paper reports the results from a direct numerical simulation of an initially turbulent
boundary layer passing over a wall-mounted “speed bump” geometry. The speed bump …

Direct numerical simulations of compressible turbulent channel flows are performed for bulk
Mach numbers 0.8 and 1.5 and bulk Reynolds numbers in the range of 3000–34 000. The …

Boundary layers of Novec649, a low-global-warming potential fluid of interest for low-grade
heat recovery, are investigated numerically by means of linear stability theory, direct …

The asymptotic behaviour of Reynolds stresses close to walls is well established in
incompressible flows owing to the constraint imposed by the solenoidal nature of the velocity …
