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 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…
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…
