Scaling oxygen microprofiles at the sediment interface of deep stratified waters

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Robert Vincent Schwefel

Dissolved oxygen microprofiles at the sediment-water interface of Lake Geneva were measured concurrently with velocities 0.25 to 2m above the sediment. The measurements and scaling analyses indicate dissolved oxygen fluctuations and turbulent fluxes in exc ...

High resolution infrared measurements of single-phase flow of R245fa and R236fa within a compact plate heat exchanger, Part 2: Heat transfer results

John Richard Thome, Raffaele Luca Amalfi

In the second article of the present two-part paper, upward single-phase heat transfer within a compact plate heat exchanger was investigated experimentally. The experimental setup, the data reduction technique and pressure drop results were presented in P ...

High resolution infrared measurements of single-phase flow of R245fa and R236fa within a compact plate heat exchanger, Part 1: Experimental setup and pressure drop results

John Richard Thome, Raffaele Luca Amalfi

This two-part paper presents experimental work to characterize thermal and hydraulic performances of a compact plate heat exchanger. Upward single-phase heat transfer and pressure drop of low pressure, liquid refrigerants R245fa and R236fa was investigated ...

Two-Phase Heat Transfer Mechanisms within Plate Heat Exchangers : Experiments, Modeling and Simulations

Raffaele Luca Amalfi

Plate heat exchangers are adopted in many domestic and industrial applications, such as ventilation, air conditioning, evaporation or condensation process, heat pumps and cooling of hydrodynamic circuits in engines. In the present thesis, an extensive expe ...

Geometric Mixing, Peristalsis, and the Geometric Phase of the Stomach

Nicolas Piro Mastracchio

Mixing fluid in a container at low Reynolds number-in an inertialess environment-is not a trivial task. Reciprocating motions merely lead to cycles of mixing and unmixing, so continuous rotation, as used in many technological applications, would appear to ...

Supremizer stabilization of POD-Galerkin approximation of parametrized steady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza, Andrea Manzoni

In this work we present a stable proper orthogonal decomposition (POD)-Galerkin approximation for parametrized steady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with low Reynolds number. Supremizers solutions are added to the reduced velocity space in order to ...
