Smoke Obscuration Measurements in Reduced-Scale Fire Modelling Based on Froude Number Similarity [PDF]
Sensors, 2019 A common method for investigating various fire- and smoke-related phenoma is a reduced-scale fire modelling that uses the conservation concept of Froude number as its primary similarity criterion.

Physical modeling of a fire with the use of the Froude number
Budownictwo i Architektura, 2019 Ever since the field of Fire Safety Engineering first came into existence, small-scale (model scale) fire tests were the source of much valuable information about the phenomena occurring during combustion. Over the years, several computational methods to

Effect of Froude Number on Submerged Gas Blowing Characteristics. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2021 The flow behavior of gas in compressible and incompressible systems was investigated at an ambient temperature in an air–water system and at an operating process temperature in the IronArc system, using computational fluid dynamics. The simulation results were verified by experiments in the air–water system and established empirical equations to enable

Humans, geometric similarity and the Froude number: is ‘‘reasonably close’’ really close enough? [PDF]
Biology Open, 2012 Summary Understanding locomotor energetics is imperative, because energy expended during locomotion, a requisite feature of primate subsistence, is lost to reproduction.

Several Problems with Froude-Number Based Scale Modeling of Fires in Small Compartments [PDF]
Energies, 2019 The Froude-number based reduced-scale modeling is a technique commonly used to investigate the flow of heat and mass in building fires. The root of the method is the thermodynamic model of a flow in a compartment and several non-dimensional flow numbers ...

Influence of attack angle on ventilated supercavitating flow at high Froude number condition [PDF]
Xibei Gongye Daxue Xuebao, 2022 To study the influence of attack angle on ventilated supercavitating flow, a numerical model is established to simulate the supercavitation flow by using the inhomogeneous multiphase flow model and the SST k-ω turbulence model.

Large eddy simulation on the wake characteristics of linearly stratified flow past a sphere [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn this study, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) has been employed to examine the influence of the Froude number (Fr) on the linearly stratified wake and internal waves behind a sphere at a subcritical Reynolds number of Re = 3700.

Tsunami forcing by a low Froude number landslide
Environmental Fluid Mechanics, 2015 The waves generated by a submarine landslide, of great concern to coastal communities, exhibit strong dependence on the landslide motion along the sea floor. A series of two-dimensional physical experiments investigate the waves generated by a solid block landslide moving along a horizontal boundary, allowing measurement of both onshore- and offshore ...

Numerical Analysis of Resistance Characteristics of a Novel High-Speed Quadramaran
Polish Maritime Research, 2023 This paper utilised computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology to calculate the resistance of a novel high-speed quadramaran in calm water using the Navier‒Stokes (N‒S) equation, analysed the total resistance, frictional resistance, and residual ...
