Experimental uncertainty decompositions of aerodynamic coefficients affected by operative condition variations
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020)
A twofold analysis is performed on an experimental set-up comprising a low-Reynolds wind tunnel, with the aim of quantifying the effect of measurand uncertainties and operative condition variations in the lift and drag ...
Theoretical Concepts for Describing a Replication-levels-based Uncertainty Analysis Approach
(International Frequency Sensor Association IFSA, 2021)
Numerical analysis of different mass transfer models for falling film absorbers
(Elsevier Ltd., 2022)
Different methodologies have been used in the literature to determine the absorbed vapour mass flux in falling film absorbers. So far, however, there has been little discussion about the impact of different ap- proaches ...
Assessing the statistical validity of momentum-deficit-based measurements in turbulent configurations
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)
An application-agnostic procedure is outlined for checking the validity of momentum-deficit-based drag measurements performed under different turbulent conditions in a wind tunnel. The approach defines a two-step methodology: ...
Parametric Optimisation of a Direct Liquid Cooling–Based Prototype for Electric Vehicles Focused on Pouch-Type Battery Cells
(MDPI, 2022)
In this work, a numerical optimisation process is applied to improve the fluid dynamical aspect of an innovative direct liquid cooling strategy for lithium-ion–based HEV/EV. First, the thermofluidic numerical model of the ...
Numerical-probabilistic assessment of tempered glass failure based on the generalised local model characterised by annealed plates
(Elsevier, 2022)
Large-scale experimental programmes become unavoidable to characterise the fracture behaviour of glass. Additionally, if non-uniform residual stresses are to be considered, the total effort required increases significantly. ...
Experimental assessment of scale-effects on the aerodynamic characterization of a transitionally-operating airfoil working under clean flow conditionsExperimental assessment of scale-effects on the aerodynamic characterisation of a transitionally-operating airfoil working under clean flow conditions
(Elsevier, 2022)
Wind tunnel tests are carried out upon a NACA0021 airfoil subjected to transitional Reynolds numbers. Transitionally-operating airfoils show a high sensitivity to external conditions and pose relevant measurement issues ...
A holistic optimization tool for the design of power take-off systems in realistic wave climates: The Wells turbine case
(Elsevier, 2023)
The growing demand of energy coupled with the worldwide commitments in favor of renewable technologies turns marine renewable sources especially attractive, including wave energy. In particular, the oscillating water column ...
Numerical methodology based on fluid-structure interaction to predict the residual stress distribution in glass tempering considering non-uniform cooling
(Elsevier, 2022)
In this paper a novel numerical methodology for calculating non-uniform residual stress distributions during the glass tempering process is presented. Tempering techniques lead to non-uniform heat transfer rates causing ...
A novel direct liquid cooling strategy for electric vehicles focused on pouch type battery cells
(Elsevier Ltd., 2022)
In this work, a novel direct liquid cooling strategy for a large-scale lithium-ion pouch type cell is proposed to control the cell working temperature within the optimum range of performance and safety. With a modular ...
