(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)The Hunan International Exhibition Center (HIEC) is a large space building. A stratified air-conditioning system on the second floor of the building has been adopted. Due to some problems with the air supply jet diffuser, ...

(2017-01-04)There is a necessity to use artificial lift when the natural drive of oil is not strong enough to push the oil from the well bottom to the surface. Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) systems have been used far and wide by ...
-
(2017-04-18)This thesis presents a 3D numerical simulation for a Free Standing Hybrid Riser under Vortex Induced Vibration, with prescribed motion on the top to replace the motion of the buoyancy can. The model is calculated using a ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)Accidental gas releases are detected by allocating sensors in optimal places to prevent escalation of the incident. Gas release effects are typically assessed based on calculating the dispersion from releasing points. In ...
-
(2018-10-22)Eccentrically operating turbomachinery components such as impellers and seals are subject to flow induced forces known as rotordynamic forces. Rotordynamic forces can be detrimental to the machine stability and longevity. ...
-
(2015-08-10)Mesh-free Lagrangian Computational Fluid Dynamics is a numerical scheme where the computational points are represented by freely-moving finite particles that have a constant mass. Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)The Texas A&M Flight Research Laboratory (FRL) recently received delivery of its newest aircraft, the Velocity XL-5 RG. The Velocity can fly faster than the other aircraft owned by the FRL and does not have a propeller in ...
-
(2012-10-19)High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) is a Generation IV reactor under consideration by Department of Energy and in the nuclear industry. There are two categories of HTGRs, namely, Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) ...
-
(2010-07-14)Shape memory polymer foams may be used to treat vascular aneurysms through thermal actuation of the foam from a compacted to an expanded configuration within the aneurysm structure, thereby alleviating blood pressure on ...
-
(2021-04-22)The United States and other nations plan to return humans to the surface of the Moon in this decade. On the horizon, the United States plans to send humans to the surface of Mars. Multiphase fluid systems, including boiling ...
-
(2017-12-06)Over the last few decades, the demand for hydrogen has significantly grown. Its high energy content and relatively small environmental effect make it an ideal energy source and chemical feedstock. However, the perceived ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)In this study, commercially available Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, CFX-4.4 has been used for the simulations of aerosol transport through various aerosol-sampling devices. Aerosol transport was modeled as ...
-
(2017-07-11)Predicting sediment transport has numerous implications in Civil Engineering and related fields. When there is excess sediment deposit in waterways, ships that move people and goods cannot navigate them. Loss of sediment ...
-
(2010-07-14)An interface-preserving level set method is incorporated into the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) numerical method to simulate the application of the green water phenomena around a platform and the breaking wave ...
-
(2023-08-08)In this work, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are performed for three wind tunnel experiments, i.e., the NREL S826 airfoil experiment, the NTNU BT1 experiment, and the NTNU BT2 experiment by using two in-house ...
-
(2012-07-16)In this work, various aerosol particle transport and deposition mechanisms were studied through the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling, including inertial impaction, gravitational effect, lift force, interception, ...
-
(2021-07-22)The BOundary Layer Turbulence (BOLT-II) flight experiment proposed by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) is a joint collaboration between academia, industry, and government partners to advance the understanding ...
-
(2018-05-03)Laminar-to-turbulent transition is a process that is critical in determining the system drag and surface heating of a flight vehicle, and the ability to predict, and possibly control, this process has become an essential ...
-
(2014-08-06)Over the last decade, soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan are being exposed to blasts from powerful explosives with improvised detonation techniques. These blasts put them at high risk of closed head non-impact ...
