Flexible Polyurethane Foam Extended with Corn Starch

1997
The use of polyurethane foam is continuing to grow at a rapid pace throughout the world. This growth can be attributed to their light weight, excellent strength/weight ratio, energy absorbing performance (including shock, vibration, and sound), and comfort features of the polyurethane foams (Klempner and Frisch, 1991).

Effect of interfacial friction and fold penetration on the progressive collapse of foam-filled frustum using kinematically admissible model

International Journal of Crashworthiness, 2018
In this article, we extend our earlier analytical efforts of the progressive collapse of foam-filled conical frustum with the aid of a kinematically admissible folding mechanism.

Critical Thresholds for CO2 Foam Generation in Homogeneous Porous Media

SPE Journal
Long-distance propagation of foam is one key to deep gas mobility control for enhanced oil recovery and CO2 sequestration. It depends on two processes—convection of bubbles and foam generation at the displacement front.

Comparative study of physical properties of water-blown rigid polyurethane foams extended with commercial soy flours

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2001
The use of renewable resources (mainly carbohydrates) in rigid polyurethane foam has been known to offer several advantages, such as increased strength, improved flame resistance, and enhanced biodegradability. Less attention has been directed to inexpensive protein-based materials, such as defatted soy flour.

Manoeuvring simulations using the overset grid technology in foam-extend

2018
Full scale turning circle manoeuvre is simulated using the Finite Volume (FV) based CFD software called the Naval Hydro Pack, which is based on foam-extend. Results are directly compared to sea trial measurements for two propeller rotation rates. Two different approaches for modelling the free surface are investigated: as single–phase flow model with a

Wave Diffraction CFD Nonlinear Time–Spectral Simulations in foam–extend

2016
Harmonic Balance (HB) method is applied to the problems of surface gravity waves in the Naval Hydro pack in foam–extend, which enables time–spectral simulations of wave diffraction. HB transforms a transient problem into a set of coupled steady state equations by assuming a temporally periodic flow.

pUCoupledFoam - an open source coupled incompressible pressure-velocity solver based on foam-extend

2014
Due to the general slow convergence of steady-state incompressible solvers, coupled ap- proaches are attractive alternatives. Such implicit solvers are well suited within the ex- isting generic block matrix format available with foam-extend. In this work, new implicit discretisation operators as well as assembling tools and matrix solvers are described
