Laminar-turbulent transition in a constricted tube: Comparison of Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes turbulence models and large eddy simulation with experiments
(SAGE Journals, 2019-05-27)
Constricted tubes appear in many engineering as well as biological systems such as blood vessels or pulmonary airways. The aim of this article is to test the ability of different turbulence models to predict the flow field ...
Application of big data analysis technique on high-velocity airblast atomization: Searching for optimum probability density function
(Elsevier, 2020-08-01)
In this paper, the droplet size distributions of high-velocity airblast atomization were analyzed. The spray measurement was performed by a Phase-Doppler anemometer at several points and different diameters across the spray ...
The role of the combined use of experimental and computational methods in revealing the differences between the micron -size particle deposition patterns in healthy and asthmatic subjects
(Elsevier, 2020-07-10)
Quantification of airway deposition of aerosol particles is essential for the assessment of health risks of detrimental particles. Knowledge of deposition distribution is important also in the case of treatment with ...
Internal flow characteristics in Spill-return pressure-swirl atomizers
(ILASS, 2019-09-04)
The spray produced by pressure-swirl atomizers strongly depends on the character of their internal flow. Flow field inside a swirl chamber of small pressure-swirl spill-return atomizers was examined using high-speed imaging ...
The influence of spill-line geometry on a spray generated by a pressure-swirl atomizer
(EDP Sciences, 2016-03-28)
An experimental investigation of characteristics of spray generated by a pressure-swirl atomizer (spill-return type) was performed using shadowgraphy and Phase-Doppler Anemometry (PDA). Several different geometries of the ...
Experimental verification of boundary conditions for numerical simulation of airflow in a benchmark ventilation channel
(EDP Sciences, 2016-03-28)
Correct definition of boundary conditions is crucial for the appropriate simulation of a flow. It is a common practice that simulation of sufficiently long upstream entrance section is performed instead of experimental ...
Influence of operating conditions and atomizer design on circumferential liquid distribution from small pressure-swirl atomizer
(EDP Sciences, 2017-05-12)
The spray symmetry is an important aspect in most practical applications. However, it is often an overlooked parameter. A measurement of circumferential distribution was carried out by a circular-sectored vessel on several ...
Spray characteristics and liquid distribution of multi-hole effervescent atomisers for industrial burners
(Elsevier, 2016-03-05)
The present paper provides an experimental study and optimization of multi-hole effervescent atomizers for industrial burners using oil-based fossil, bio- or waste fuels with prospects of emission reduction. Several ...
Twin-fluid atomization of viscous liquids: The effect of atomizer construction on breakup process, spray stability and droplet size
(Elsevier, 2015-08-25)
This study focuses on the low-pressure spraying of viscous liquids ( = 60, 147 and 308 mPa s) using four types of internal-mixing twin-fluid atomizers.
High Quality Steel Casting by Using Advanced Mathematical Methods
(MDPI, 2018-12-04)
The main concept of this paper is to utilize advanced numerical modelling techniques with self-regulation algorithm in order to reach optimal casting conditions for real-time casting control. Fully 3-D macro-solidification ...
