The thermal interactions between the stack plates and their neighboring gas particles within penetration depth in a thermoacoustic resonator convert acoustic energy into heat process of standing refrigeration systems. Few numerical approximations describe flow behavior flux density devices, but almost no simulation results are available for fully coupled continuity Navier–Stokes equations. Here, we report two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics nonlinear oscillating helium-filled...

Transition modeling represents one of the key challenges in computational fluid dynamics. While numerical efforts were traditionally devoted to either improving Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes-based turbulence or developing scale-resolving simulations, cautious attention has been recently given field inversion and machine learning techniques. This paper discusses an updated development model for transitional flows based on k–ω shear stress transport using continuous adjoint approach, instead...

Reliable monitoring of industrial flue gases is essential for maintaining optimal combustion efficiencies, and thus lesser environmental impacts, in the processing typical systems. Typical modern-day sensors rely their operations on either electrochemical or nondispersive infrared technologies.
