Effects of Camber of S‐Series Airfoils on Aerodynamic Performance, Entropy Generation Rate, Irreversibility, and Second Law Efficiency of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Due to the depletion of fossil fuels, enhancing wind turbine efficiency is crucial. Utilizing airfoils with high lift‐to‐drag ratios significantly improves power generation by optimizing aerodynamic parameters. Furthermore, entropy generation analysis serves as an effective method for design optimization by minimizing energy losses and exergy ...

On Turbulence Transition in Shear Flows

, 2019
The onset of turbulence in shear flows like pipe flow or plane Couette flow, for which the laminar profile is linearly stable for all Reynolds numbers, has remained a puzzle for many years. Immense progress towards the understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms has been made by the application of ideas from dynamical systems theory.

“Effects of High‐Intensity Ultrasound on the Structural, Technofunctional, and Allergenic Properties of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Protein Isolates: A Review”

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing global demand for sustainable, nutritionally balanced protein sources has intensified interest in plant‐derived proteins, particularly those derived from oilseeds such as groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). However, although groundnut protein isolates (GPIs) have high nutritional quality, they exhibit limitations in technofunctional ...

Monolithic Framework to Simulate Fluid‐Structure Interaction Problems Using Geometric Volume‐of‐Fluid Method

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional fluid‐structure interaction (FSI) framework is developed using the geometric volume‐of‐fluid (VOF) interface capturing method and applied to assess largescale turbulent FSI interactions. The monolithic FSI framework is extensively validated, and despite the discontinuities across the interface, the FSI framework delivers stable and ...

Effect of Microchannel Geometry on Nanoparticle Deposition in Nanofluid Flow

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
This study numerically analyzed nanoparticle deposition in microchannels with varying geometries. Deposition per unit area decreases significantly with increasing bend angle (28.612 to 8.941 between 30° and 120°) and bend radius (11.922 to 4.769 between 0.2 and 0.4 mm). Acute bends and small radii enhance centrifugal forces and flow separation, leading

On the Variability of Results for Cylinder Flow: A Systematic Analysis of Parameter Sensitivity Within the Lattice Boltzmann Method

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
This study systematically investigates the variability of cylinder flow results. We provide a comprehensive overview of literature values and, using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), show that insufficient convergence studies and variations in simulation parameters are a plausible cause for the significant spread in data.
