Fluid-structure interaction enhances the aerodynamic performance of flapping wings: a computational study

open access: yesJournal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2018
Insect wings change its shape passively by the aerodynamic and inertial forces when flapping, which can greatly affect its aerodynamic performances. In order to confirm the importance of the fluid-structure interaction in flapping wing aerodynamics, we ...

Application of Ultrasonic Sensors for Determining the Height of Dynamic Two‐Phase Layers in Tray Columns

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
Ultrasonic sensors are evaluated for their applicability in dynamic gas–liquid systems. By comparing sensor data with two independent optical reference methods, their robustness and reliability are demonstrated under varying flow conditions and tray geometries in column systems.

Antisolvent crystallization of lithium hydroxide monohydrate: Significant factors and kinetics analysis

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Crystallization is the final stage in lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH · H2O) production, and antisolvent crystallization offers a lower‐energy route compared with evaporative methods. In this study, we investigated bench‐scale ethanol‐based antisolvent crystallization of LiOH · H2O, and identified the significant impact parameter via a ...

Characteristics of Unsteady Fluid Force Acting on a Rotating Cylinder Partially Submerged in Water.

open access: yesTRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series C, 1993
This paper deals with an experimental investigation of unsteady fluid force acting on a rotating cylinder partially submerged in water. The rotating cylinder partially submerged in water is excited in one direction at a constant amplitude, and we measure the strain of the shaft installed in the rotating cylinder, displacement, and rotational angle for ...

Comparison of modelling approaches for liquid fluidized beds

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a comparison of three promising numerical models for the detailed simulation of liquid–solid fluidized bed. These models differ in their treatment of the solid phase, ranging from treating each particle individually to treating the collection of particles as a continuum.

Review of CFD modelling techniques for single‐phase and multiphase flow in static mixers

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approaches for static mixers, linking hydrodynamics to pressure drop, particle/droplet distributions, mixing metrics, and heat‐transfer performance to guide modelling choices and design decisions. Abstract Static mixers enable compact and low‐energy intensification.

Numerical Analysis of the Unsteady Fluid Force Acting on an Axially Oscillating Balance Piston

open access: yesTRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series B, 2012
Dynamic response of the fluid force acting on an axially oscillating balance piston was numerically investigated. The balance piston of a rocket engine turbopump was modeled and forced to oscillate in the axial direction. The flow field around the rotor was simulated using unsteady CFD simulation changing the oscillation frequency.

Acoustic‐driven surface cleaning with millimeter‐sized bubbles at translational resonance

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse visualization comparing bubble trajectories. The top panel (0 Hz) shows a bubble's linear path under no acoustic forcing, while the bottom panel (50 Hz) demonstrates the oscillatory motion induced by acoustic waves at a resonance mode. This mechanism holds promising potential for applications such as surface cleaning.
