Experimental Factors and Techniques for Pool Boiling Heat Transfer Enhancement: A Critical Review
Heat Transfer, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 2201-2232, June 2026.ABSTRACT This review presents a comprehensive assessment of active strategies for enhancing pool boiling heat transfer, with a focus on techniques that do not rely solely on the boiling surface modification. It examines a broad range of methodologies including fluid additives, external fields, mechanical interventions, and thermal‐geometric tuning that

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Counterflow heat exchangers (CHXs) thermally couple consumers and producers to a district heating network (DHN). Fluctuating loads and control actions naturally lead to unsteady operation conditions of the network and its components, posing a challenge for DHN models and CHX parameterizations based on Nusselt correlations that assume steady ...

Ocean Wave Modulation of Offshore Wind Turbine Loads and Wake
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT This study examines how wave‐induced modulation affects the operational performance and structural dynamics of fixed‐bottom offshore wind turbines operating under a neutral atmospheric boundary layer profile. To capture these effects accurately while maintaining computational efficiency, unsteady RANS modelling techniques are employed.

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Optimising turbine layouts to maximise power output is crucial for wind farm development, particularly in complex terrain where analytical wake models fail to capture key flow physics. We present the first application of Bayesian optimisation (BO) combined with large eddy simulations (LES) for utility‐scale wind farm layout optimisation in ...

Comparison of Power and Thrust Performance for a Fixed and Floating Offshore Wind Turbine
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Floating offshore wind turbines have been identified as a critical technology for sustainable electricity generation. Wind resource assessment is used to determine optimal locations for floating wind farms. However, current methodologies do not account for performance differences between fixed and floating turbines due to wind‐ and wave ...
