Fluid flow and convective heat transfer in rotor-stator configurations, which are of great
importance in different engineering applications, are treated in details in this review. The …

This article reviews the range of flows that may be created within thin cylindrical or annular
cavities due to the rotation of one of the confining disks. At low Reynolds numbers, the …

Modelling transport and mixing by turbulence in complex flows is one of the greatest
challenges for CFD. This highly readable volume introduces the reader to a level of …

This paper examines the evolution of closing the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes
equations by approximating the Reynolds stresses via the second-moment transport …

The paper describes the results of a computational study of the strongly swirling isothermal
flow in the combustion chamber of an industrial gas turbine. The flow field characteristics are …

The synchronization process between the fuel-feeding excitation (ff) and the local
equivalence ratio (ϕ local) is a key issue that has not been well studied numerically under …

Modelling transport and mixing by turbulence in complex flows are huge challenges for
computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This highly readable book introduces readers to …

The amount of cooling air assigned to seal high pressure turbine (HPT) rim cavities is critical
for performance as well as component life. Insufficient air leads to excessive hot annulus gas …

The turbulent and swirling flow of a uniflow-scavenged two-stroke engine cylinder is
investigated using a scale model with a static geometry and a transparent cylinder. The swirl …

In many engineering and industrial applications, the investigation of rotating turbulent flow is
of great interest. In rotor-stator cavities, the centrifugal and Coriolis forces have a strong …
