Comparison of models for predicting cleaning of viscoplastic soil layers by impinging coherent turbulent water jets

RR Fernandes, JH Tsai, DI Wilson - Chemical Engineering Science, 2022 - Elsevier
Different approaches to model the cleaning of (i) very thin and (ii) thin soil layers by
impinging water jets are compared to evaluate their predictive capabilities. Cleaning …

Multiphase viscoplastic flows in a nonuniform Hele-Shaw cell: a fluidic device to control interfacial patterns

A Eslami, R Basak, SM Taghavi - Industrial & Engineering …, 2020 - ACS Publications
Inspired by the problem of the removal of in situ gel-like materials via a displacement flow
process, we use a fluidic device known as Hele-Shaw cell to study the flow parameters …

Modelling the cleaning of viscoplastic layers by impinging coherent turbulent water jets

RR Fernandes, DI Wilson - Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - Elsevier
Impinging liquid jets are widely used to clean unwanted soil layers from the walls of
structures and vessels. When the soil is a thin layer of an immiscible viscoplastic material …

Cleaning insoluble viscoplastic soil layers using static and moving coherent impinging water jets

RR Fernandes, D Oevermann, DI Wilson - Chemical Engineering Science, 2019 - Elsevier
Impinging liquid jets are widely employed in cleaning operations to remove residual soiling
