Design optimization of a coal seam annular air reverse circulation bit

open access: yesEnergy Science & Engineering, 2023
Reverse circulation (RC) drilling technology enables the rapid acquisition of coal seam samples, which is crucial in accurately measuring gas content. In addition, the design of the drill bit plays a key role in RC sampling. In this study, the turbulence

Optimization of Meridional Flow Channel Design of Pump Impeller

open access: yesInternational Journal of Rotating Machinery, 2004
The meridional flow channel design of a pump impeller affects its performance. However, since so many design parameters exist, a new design method is proposed in which a meridional and blade-to-blade flow channel is designed by the parallel use of the ...

Starting flow through nozzles with temporally variable exit diameter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Starting flow through a nozzle or orifice typically results in the transient formation of a leading vortex ring and trailing jet. Experiments are conducted to investigate the dynamics of this process in the case of a temporally variable nozzle exit ...

The helicity and vorticity of liquid crystal flows

open access: yes, 2010
We present explicit expressions of the helicity conservation in nematic liquid crystal flows, for both the Ericksen-Leslie and Landau-de Gennes theories.

Delay of vortex ring pinchoff by an imposed bulk counterflow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The Kelvin–Benjamin variational principle has been previously used to predict that vortex ring pinchoff can be delayed if the energy of the leading vortex ring is decreased during formation and/or the energy delivered by the vortex generator is increased.

Study on the internal two-phase flow of the inverted-umbrella aerator

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2019
In order to reveal the gas–liquid two-phase flow pattern of inverted-umbrella aerator, the high-speed photography technology, particle image velocimetry, and Volume of Fluid model are employed to capture the free-surface dynamics and velocity ...

Cerebrospinal fluid dynamics and intracranial pressure elevation in neurological diseases

open access: yesFluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2019
The fine balance between the secretion, composition, volume and turnover of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is strictly regulated. However, during certain neurological diseases, this balance can be disrupted.

Influence of hydrodynamic and functional nonlinearities of blood flow in the cerebral vasculature on cerebral perfusion and autoregulation pressure reserve

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Ensuring the transport of oxygenated blood to the brain is one of the priorities of the human body. In the literature, there are many models of cerebral circulation with different levels of complexity used to assess pathological conditions, support ...

Modelling single ventricle physiology: Review of engineering tools to study first stage palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2013
First stage palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), i.e. the Norwood operation, results in a complex physiological arrangement, involving different shunting options (modified Blalock-Taussig, RV-PA conduit, central shunt from the ascending ...

The physical oceanography of the transport of floating marine debris

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem. However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste estimated to have entered the ocean from land is unaccounted for.
