Computational Analysis of Fluid Flow in Pebble Bed Modular Reactor
(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) ...
Massively-Parallel Spectral Element Large Eddy Simulation of a Ring-Type Gas Turbine Combustor
(2012-07-16)
The average and fluctuating components in a model ring-type gas turbine combustor are characterized using a Large Eddy Simulation at a Reynolds number of 11,000, based on the bulk velocity and the mean channel height. A ...
The Potential of Using Natural Gas in HCCI Engines: Results from Zero- and Multi-dimensional Simulations
(2012-07-16)
With the depletion of petroleum based fuels and the corresponding concerns of national energy security issues, natural gas as an alternative fuel in IC engine applications has become an attractive option. Natural gas ...
Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Method for the Nonlinear Hyperbolic Problems with Entropy-Based Artificial Viscosity Stabilization
(2012-07-16)
This work develops a discontinuous Galerkin finite element discretization of non- linear hyperbolic conservation equations with efficient and robust high order stabilization built on an entropy-based artificial viscosity ...
Confocal Image-Based Computational Modeling of Nitric Oxide Transport in a Rat Mesenteric Lymphatic Vessel
(2012-11-15)
The lymphatic system plays an important role in protein and solute transport as well as the immune system. Its functionality is vital to proper homeostasis and fluid balance. Lymphatic fluid (lymph) may be propelled by ...
