Developed and quasi-developed macro-scale flow in micro- and mini-channels with arrays of offset strip fins
Arthur Vangeffelen, Geert Buckinx, Carlo De Servi +2
We investigate to what degree the steady laminar flow in typical micro- and mini-channels with offset strip fin arrays can be described as developed on a macro-scale level, in the…
Non-linear Topology Optimization of District Heating Networks: A benchmark of Mixed-Integer and Adjoint Approaches
Yannick Wack, Sylvain Serra, Martine Baelmans +2
The widespread use of optimization methods in the design phase of District Heating Networks is currently limited by the availability of scalable optimization approaches that accura…
Hilbert expansion based fluid models for kinetic equations describing neutral particles in the plasma edge of a fusion device
Vince Maes, Wouter Dekeyser, Julian Koellermeier +2
Neutral particles in the plasma edge of fusion devices based on magnetic confinement are described by a transient kinetic equation incorporating ionization, recombination, and char…
Economic Topology Optimization of District Heating Networks using a Pipe Penalization Approach
Yannick Wack, Martine Baelmans, Robbe Salenbien +1
In the presented study, a pipe penalization approach for the economic topology optimization of District Heating Networks is proposed, drawing inspiration from density-based topolog…
Kinetic-diffusion asymptotic-preserving Monte Carlo algorithm for Boltzmann-BGK in the diffusive scaling
Bert Mortier, Martine Baelmans, Giovanni Samaey
We develop a novel Monte Carlo strategy for the simulation of the Boltzmann-BGK model with both low-collisional and high-collisional regimes present. The presented solution to main…
A comparison of source term estimators in coupled finite-volume/Monte-Carlo methods with applications to plasma edge simulations in nuclear fusion
Bert Mortier, Martine Baelmans, Giovanni Samaey
In many applications, such as plasma edge simulation of a nuclear fusion reactor, a coupled PDE/kinetic description is required, which is usually solved with a coupled finite-volum…
An adjoint optimization approach for the topological design of large-scale district heating networks based on nonlinear models
Maarten Blommaert, Yannick Wack, Martine Baelmans
This article deals with the problem of finding the best topology, pipe diameter choices, and operation parameters for realistic district heating networks. Present design tools that…
Turbulent kinetic energy in 2D isothermal interchange-dominated scrape-off layer ExB drift turbulence: Governing equation and relation to particle transport
Reinart Coosemans, Wouter Dekeyser, Martine Baelmans
This paper studies the turbulent kinetic energy () in 2D isothermal electrostatic interchange-dominated ExB drift turbulence in the scrape-off layer and its relation to pa…
