Analysis of One-Way and Two-Way FSI Approaches to Characterise the Flow Regime and the Mechanical Behaviour during Closing Manoeuvring Operation of a Butterfly Valve
(World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, 2018)
Butterfly valves are widely used industrial piping components as on-off and flow controlling devices. The main challenge in the design process of this type of valves is the correct dimensioning to ensure ...
Contact angle measurement for LiBr aqueous solutions on different surface materials used in absorption systems
(Elsevier Ltd., 2018)
Wetting surface is a very important issue for the design of absorption applications and heat exchangers. The contact angle is deemed essential in wettability studies; However, LiBr aqueous solution contact angle studies ...
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 ...
Experimental and numerical dynamic analysis of press-formeda viscoelastic sanwich structures
(Mondragon Unibertsitatea. Goi Eskola Politeknikoa, 2011)
This dissertation presents the experimental and numerical dynamic analysis of press-formed viscoelastic sandwich structures composed by two thin metallic face layers and a constrained viscoelastic film. Such structures can ...
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 ...
