The present work extends the conservative convective scheme proposed by Charnyi et al. (2017) [13], originally formulated for mixed finite elements and tested in laminar flows, to equal order finite elements. A non-incremental ...

Concentrated solar power technologies are gaining more attention in the last two decades in order to replace the conventional power technologies and reduce their environmental impact. Among the developed concentrating ...

The aerodynamic performance of active flow control on wings using synthetic jets with zero net-mass flow is investigated. The study is conducted via wall-modeled large-eddy simulations using a finiteelement-based solver. ...

This paper analyzes the behavior of a miniature 3D wind sensor designed for Mars atmosphere. The sensor is a spherical structure of 10 mm diameter divided in four sectors. By setting all the sectors to constant temperature, ...

Numerical simulations of the flow control using a synthetic jet are presented. The flow considered is around a NACA 0012 airfoil at Re = 5000 and the actuator is located at 6% of the chord from the leading edge. This work ...

It is well known that the wake topology in the flow past a circular cylinder remains almost unchanged up to Reynolds number ~105 Williamson (Annu Rev Fluid Mech 28(1), 477–539 (1996)) [1]. Then, at Re~2×105 major changes ...

Integrating CFD & HT models with the general building program raises the computational time of building simulations as these simulations are usually performed over a period of one year. Within this context, our aim is ...

The paper reports on physical modeling and experimental evaluation of glazed systems. A multi-functional ventilated façade with an integrated collector-storage is developed and mounted on a test cell facility under real ...

This work aims at investigating the mechanisms of separation and the transition to turbulence in the separated shear-layer of aerodynamic profiles, while at the same time to gain insight into coherent structures formed ...
