On the complex interplay of temperature, phase change and natural convection in self-pressurization-an investigation using segregated modeling
David Barreiro-Villaverde, Antonio Cantiani, Miguel A. Mendez
Accurate prediction of self-pressurization in cryogenic tanks requires resolving the coupled effects of heat ingress, natural convection, and phase change. This work introduces a s…
Regime Maps for Sloshing in Horizontal Cylindrical Tanks Under Vertical Acceleration
Francisco Monteiro, Tommaso De Maria, Samuel Ahizi +3
Vertical sloshing in partially filled fuel tanks can significantly impact vehicle stability and structural integrity, particularly under harmonic accelerations near twice the slosh…
Real-time identification of parametric sloshing-induced heat and mass transfer in a horizontally oriented cylindrical tank
Samuel Akatchi Ahizi, Francisco Monteiro, Ramon Abarca +1
Vertical forcing of partially filled tanks can induce parametric sloshing. Under non-isothermal conditions, the resulting mixing can disrupt the thermal stratification between liqu…
On the low drag regime of flatback airfoils
Konstantinos Kellaris, George Papadakis, Miguel Alfonso Mendez +1
Flatback airfoils, characterized by a blunt trailing edge, are used at the root of large wind turbine blades. A low-drag pocket has recently been identified in the flow past these…
