Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This study investigates how iron particles burn across a wide size range, revealing late‐stage nanoparticle release and a previously unrecognised shift in combustion behaviour near 118 µm. High‐speed imaging, PMT diagnostics and SEM analyses have been conducted.

Stellar convection as a low Prandtl number flow [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1991 AbstractThermal convection in the Sun and cool stars is often modeled with the assumption of an effective Prandtl number σ ≃ 1. Such a parameterization results in masking of the presence of internal shear layers which, for small σ, might control the large scale dynamics.

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.Flow characteristics and pressure loss mechanisms of a reverse circulation converter in dual‐wall drill pipes are systematically investigated using CFD and response surface methodology. The results reveal the dominant role of inertial dissipation and provide a predictive framework for optimizing converter design and operational parameters. ABSTRACT The

Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.

Heat transfer in drop-laden low-Prandtl-number channel turbulence [PDF]
In this work, we numerically investigate heat transfer in low-Prandtl-number drop-laden wall-bounded turbulence. These flows are characteristic of nuclear and fusion technologies, where liquid metals - known for their high thermal conductivity - are ...
