Abstract To achieve higher strength and better durability, ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) typically employs a relatively small water-binder ratio. However, this generally leads to an undesired increase in the paste viscosity. In this study, the effects of liquid and powder polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCE) on UHPC are compared and critically discussed. Moreover, the following influential factors are considered: air-entraining agents (AE), slump retaining agents (SA), and defoaming agents (DF) and the resulting flow characteristics, mechanical properties, and hydration properties are evaluated assuming UHPC containing 8‰ powder PCE (PCE-based UHPC). It is found that the spread diameter of… More >

Abstract Shock waves, characterized by abrupt changes in pressure, temperature, and density, play a significant role in various materials science processes involving fluids. These high-energy phenomena are utilized across multiple fields and applications to achieve unique material properties and facilitate advanced manufacturing techniques. Accurate simulations of these phenomena require numerical schemes that can represent shock waves without spurious oscillations and simultaneously capture acoustic waves for a wide range of wavelength scales. This work suggests a high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method with a finite volume (FV) subcell limiting strategies to achieve better subcell resolution and lower numerical More >

Abstract Magnetic fluids, also known as ferrofluids, are versatile functional materials with a wide range of applications. These applications span from industrial uses such as vacuum seals, actuators, and acoustic devices to medical uses, including serving as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), delivering medications to specific locations within the body, and magnetic hyperthermia for cancer treatment. The use of a non-wettable immiscible liquid substrate to support a layer of magnetic fluid opens up new possibilities for studying various fluid flows and related instabilities in multi-phase systems with both a free surface and an interface.… More >

Abstract Tannin foam is a new functional material. It can be widely applied to the automobile industry, construction industry, and packaging industry due to its wide range of raw materials, renewable, easily degraded, low cost and almost no pollution. Preparing tannin foam is a very complex process that includes high temperature, two phases, mechanical agitation, and phase change. To investigate the influence of the stirring velocity and paddle shape, simulation was calculated by making use of the volume of fluid (VOF) method and multiple reference frame (MRF) method in a three-dimensional flow field of tannin-based foaming… More >

Abstract The study of average convection in a rotating cavity subjected to modulated rotation is an interesting area for the development of both fundamental and applied science. This phenomenon finds application in the field of mass transfer and fluid flow control, relevant examples being crystal growth under reduced gravity and fluid mixing in microfluidic devices for cell cultures. In this study, the averaged flow generated by the oscillating motion of a fluid in a planar layer rotating about a horizontal axis is experimentally investigated. The boundaries of the layer are maintained at constant temperatures, while the… More >

Abstract In order to obtain the transient characteristics of a low-speed centrifugal pump during the start-up and shutdown stages, dedicated experimental tests were conducted with eight different valve opening conditions. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to reveal the linear correlation between variables. According to the results, the stable rotational speed decreases with increasing valve opening (rotational speed decreases from approximately 1472 to 1453 r/min), while the stable shaft power exhibits an increasing trend (shaft power increases from approximately 0.242 to 0.390 kW). The stable time and zeroing time of each parameter during start-up and shutdown More >

Abstract In hot and arid regions like the Saharan area, effective methods for cooling and humidifying intake air are essential. This study explores the utilization of a water trickle cooler as a promising solution to meet this objective. In particular, the HASSI MESSAOUD area is considered as a testbed. The water trickle cooler is chosen for its adaptability to arid conditions. Modeling results demonstrate its effectiveness in conditioning air before it enters the compressor. The cooling system achieves a significant temperature reduction of 6 to 8 degrees Celsius, enhancing mass flow rate dynamics by 3 percent More >

Abstract Continental shale oil reservoirs, characterized by numerous bedding planes and micro-nano scale pores, feature significantly higher stress sensitivity compared to other types of reservoirs. However, research on suitable stress sensitivity characterization models is still limited. In this study, three commonly used stress sensitivity models for shale oil reservoirs were considered, and experiments on representative core samples were conducted. By fitting and comparing the data, the “exponential model” was identified as a characterization model that accurately represents stress sensitivity in continental shale oil reservoirs. To validate the accuracy of the model, a two-phase seepage mathematical model More >

Abstract The perfect combination of renewable energy and desalination technologies is the key to meeting water demands in a cost-effective, efficient and environmentally friendly way. The desalination technique by humidification-dehumidification is non-conventional approach suitable for areas with low infrastructure (such as rural and decentralized regions) since it does not require permanent maintenance. In this study, this technology is implemented by using solar energy as a source of thermal power. A seawater desalination unit is considered, which consists of a chamber with two evaporators (humidifiers), a wetted porous material made of a corrugated cellulose cardboard and a… More >

Abstract To investigate the influence of snow particle rotational motion on the accumulation of snow in the bogie region of high-speed trains, an Euler‒Lagrange numerical approach is adopted. The study examines the effects of snow particle diameter and train speed on the ensuing dynamics. It is shown that considering snow particle rotational motion causes significant deviation in the particle trajectories with respect to non-rotating particles. Such a deviation increases with larger snow particle diameters and higher train speeds. The snow accumulation on the overall surface of the bogie increases, and the amount of snow on the More >

Abstract To accurately predict the film thickness distribution during dynamic spraying performed with air guns and support accordingly the development of intelligent spray painting, the spray problem was analyzed numerically. In particular, the Eulerian-Eulerian approach was employed to calculate the paint atomization and film deposition process. Different spray heights, spray angles, spray gun movement speeds, spray trajectory curvature radii, and air pressure values were considered. Numerical simulation results indicate that the angle of spray painting significantly affects the velocity of droplets near the spray surface. With an increase in the spraying angle, spraying height and spray… More >
