Spatial distribution of the quantized vortices’ tangle in thermally driven round jets of superfluid helium

Spatial distribution of the quantized vortices’ tangle in thermally driven round jets of superfluid helium

Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2023. Thermally driven flows of superfluid 4He display unique features, often related to the presence of quantized vortices—line singularities embedded in the liquid. Here, we focus on turbulent round jets, …

A Cartesian grid-based two-dimensional plus time method for simulating ship bow waves

A Cartesian grid-based two-dimensional plus time method for simulating ship bow waves

Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2023. Numerical modeling of ship bow waves is still hard work, partly due to their multiscale features. Direct three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics simulation could be an appropriate choice to…

Analysis of dry reforming of methane under different fluidization regimes using a multiphase particle-in-cell approach

Analysis of dry reforming of methane under different fluidization regimes using a multiphase particle-in-cell approach

Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2023. In the present study, the dry reforming of methane (DRM) has been simulated in fluidized-bed reactors using the multiphase particle-in-cell model. The model was meticulously built to investigate the ef…
