The generation of primary aerosols from biomass hinders the production biofuels by pyrolysis, intensifies environmental impact forest fires, and exacerbates health implications associated with cigarette smoking. High speed photography is utilized to elucidate ejection mechanism aerosol particles thermally decomposing cellulose at timescale milliseconds. Fluid modeling, based on first principles, experimental measurement phenomenon supports proposed interfacial gas bubble collapse forming a...

A numerical model that treats liquid and vapor as a continuum has been constructed for predicting small-scale, high-speed, cavitating nozzle flow. In order to extremely high pressures, the compressibility of both phases included in scheme, third-order shock-capturing technique was applied continuity equation capture sharp jumps density. addition, boundary-fitted mesh used treat different geometries. The scheme run with very upstream pressures liquid-to-vapor density ratio 10,000:1. results...

Abstract The design and financing of commercial‐scale floating offshore wind projects require a better understanding how power generation differs between newer turbines well‐established fixed‐bottom turbines. In turbines, platform mobility causes additional rotor motion that can change the time‐averaged generation. this work, OpenFAST simulations examine generated by National Renewable Energy Laboratory's 5‐MW reference turbine mounted on OC3‐UMaine spar OC4‐DeepCWind semisubmersible...

The internal details of fuel injectors have a profound impact on the emissions from gasoline direct injection engines. However, injector design features is not currently understood, due to difficulty in observing and modeling flows. Gasoline flows involve moving geometry, flash boiling, high levels turbulent two-phase mixing. In order better simulate these injectors, five different approaches been employed study engine combustion network Spray G injector. These simulation results compared...

Hydrodynamic loads on the platforms of floating offshore wind turbines are often predicted with computer-aided engineering tools that employ Morison’s equation and/or potential-flow theory. This work compares results from one such tool, FAST, National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s turbine and high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package, OpenFOAM, for OC4-DeepCwind semi-submersible analyzed in International Agency Wind Task 30 project. Load predictions HydroDyn, hydrodynamics...
