Study on the Instability of Two-Phase Flow in the Heat-Absorbing Tube of Trough Solar Collector

International Journal of Photoenergy, 2017
The Marangoni effect and Rayleigh-Benard effect in the two-phase region of solar trough heat-absorbing tube are simulated by FTM (front tracking method). Considering the Marangoni effect alone, although surface tension gradient and surface tension affect

On the Cell Broadening of Mesoscale Cellular Convection in a Well‐Mixed Boundary Layer

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Understanding what controls the horizontal scale of mesoscale cellular convection is central to explaining cloud self‐organization and its radiative impacts. Using a hierarchy of large‐eddy simulations, we investigate cell broadening in a well‐mixed boundary layer by isolating the roles of radiation, cloud microphysics, and water vapor.

Thermal Analysis of Phase Change Material Based Energy Storage Module With Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces

Energy Storage, Volume 8, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The thermal performance of two triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) thermal Energy Storage modules, Diamond and Primitive, was investigated using computational fluid dynamics. The melting and solidification behaviors, as well as the charging and discharging characteristics, of the TPMS Energy Storage units were studied for various flow rates.

Topographically Controlled Marangoni-Rayleigh-Bénard Convection in Liquid Metals

Fluids, 2021
Convection induced in a layer of liquid with a top free surface by a distribution of heating elements at the bottom can be seen as a variant of standard Marangoni–Rayleigh–Bénard Convection where in place of a flat boundary at constant temperature ...

Localized Convection in Sputnik Planitia, Pluto

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract The cellular plains on Sputnik Planitia (SP) are thought to originate from convection in the nitrogen ice layer that fills the basin. Whereas the cells toward the center of SP's cellular plains are wider and interconnected—features explained by vigorous convection—the cells near the margins are smaller and less contiguous, with some appearing ...

Tailoring Defective Tungsten Oxide Aerogel Evaporator for Enhanced Solar Steam Generation and Heavy Metal Adsorption Toward Agricultural Irrigation

Carbon Neutralization, Volume 5, Issue 3, May 2026.
A cost‐effective defective WO3−x@cellulose aerogel composites that simultaneously convert wastewater into agricultural irrigation water through solar‐driven freshwater generation and heavy metal remediation was proposed. And the precision defect engineering of oxygen‐vacancy modulated WO3−x nanocrystals demonstrate excellent solar absorption efficiency

Impact of Uncertain Parameters on Navier–Stokes Equations With Heat Transfer via Polynomial Chaos Expansion

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, Volume 98, Issue 5, Page 557-577, May 2026.
This study investigates the impact of uncertain parameters on Navier–Stokes equations coupled with heat transfer using the Intrusive Polynomial Chaos Method (IPCM). Sensitivity equations are formulated for key input parameters, such as viscosity and thermal diffusivity, and solved numerically using the Finite Element‐Volume method.
