Flow, heat, and mass transfer in fixed beds of catalyst particles are complex phenomena
and, when combined with catalytic reactions, are multiscale in both time and space; …

This review presents a systematic analysis of the published literature on flow regime
map** and effects of external disturbances for flow past a single stationary sphere …

Since the precooler and the recuperator are the largest components of a supercritical carbon
dioxide Brayton cycle, their design can substantially affect the performance and size of the …

Additive manufacturing has enabled the fabrication of intricate geometries and structures of
numerous sizes at high accuracy, which has attracted researchers towards its application as …

Natural and waste waters pollution by nitrates is considered a major environmental problem
due to the possible consequences on human health and on water bodies through …

The strategy of particle-resolved computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been widely used
to study the hydrodynamic properties of fluid flow in small-sized pebble bed, but generally …

This paper investigates the validity of azimuthal averaging of 3D temperature fields in the
analysis of lateral heat transfer in dense particle packings. This is conducted by synthetic …

We investigate forced convective heat transfer in packings of spheres, cylinders and
Raschig rings, made of glass, steel and alumina, in relatively narrow tubes. A detailed …

The packed-bed thermal energy storage system (PBTES) has broad application prospects in
renewable energy, such as for solar, hydraulics, biomass, and geothermal. This study varied …

Flow separation across bluff bodies has been a fascinating area of fluid mechanics since
1851. A large number of computational and experimental studies have been performed in …
