Evaluation of the melting process of phase change materials in a tilted rectangular container: Experimental study

Energy and Built Environment
Natural convection plays a crucial role in improving the heat transfer efficiency during the phase change material (PCM) melting process. A major challenge is understanding the intensity and transformation of natural convection, which was strongly ...

Limits to the Hall Effect and Other Nonreciprocal Effects in Three‐Dimensional Metamaterials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Comprehensive and fundamental bounds on nonreciprocal effects in three‐dimensional metamaterials are derived. They reveal that the effective Hall mobility cannot exceed the largest constituent mobility, that, under certain conditions, the Verdet constant cannot be enhanced, and that, for constituents with Hall coefficients of the same sign, the largest

Vertical natural convection: application of the unifying theory of thermal convection [PDF]

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2015
AbstractResults from direct numerical simulations of vertical natural convection at Rayleigh numbers $1.0\times 10^{5}$–$1.0\times 10^{9}$ and Prandtl number $0.709$ support a generalised applicability of the Grossmann–Lohse (GL) theory, which was originally developed for horizontal natural (Rayleigh–Bénard) convection. In accordance with the GL theory,

Interaction effects between surface radiation and double-diffusive turbulent natural convection in an enclosed cavity filled with solid obstacles [PDF]

, 2012
The work reported here is a 2D numerical study on the buoyancy-driven low speed flow of humid air inside a rectangular cavity partially filled with solid cylindrical objects and whose vertical walls are maintained at 1.2 and 21 oC.

On the convective nature of roll waves instability [PDF]

Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2005
A theoretical analysis of the Saint‐Venant one‐dimensional flow model is performed in order to define the nature of its instability. Following the Brigg criterion, the investigation is carried out by examining the branch points singularities of dispersion relation in the complex ω and k planes, where ω and k are the complex pulsation and wave number

Toward Pore‐Engineered 3D‐Printed Materials for Sorption Water Harvesting, Interfacial Evaporation, and Radiative Cooling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Water harvesting, radiative cooling, and interfacial solar evaporation are fundamentally governed by coupled heat, mass, and light transport processes. These processes are mediated by pore architecture, including pore size, connectivity, and hierarchical organization.
