We present numerical simulations of axisymmetric magnetised massive tori around rotating black holes taking into account the energy losses due to emission of neutrinos. A realistic equation of state is used which takes into account the energy losses due to dissociation of nuclei. The heating due to neutrino-antineutrino annihilation is not included. We study the cases of optically thick, semitr...

Supersonic gas-jets have attracted much interest as experimental targets in several fields of science since they combine low internal temperatures with high directionality. Axisymmetric jets have found widespread application, triggering a wealth of studies on their properties, while only a limited number of detailed studies have been done on planar jets. In this paper, the design of a beam prof...

In this paper, a nanosecond LIFT process is analyzed both from experimental and modeling points of view. Experimental results are first presented and compared to simple estimates obtained from physical analysis, i.e. energy balance, jump relations and analytical pocket dynamics. Then a self-consistent 2D axisymmetric modeling strategy is presented. It is shown that data accessible from experime...

The flow field and erosion pattern of continuous and pulsating impinging jets has been studied experimentally. The mean velocity field as well as turbulent and pulsation components, wall pressure and wall shear stress distr ibutions were investigated in an axisymmetric air jet impinging upon a rough wall. The results show how harmonic velocity pulsations at the nozzle affect both the mean and t...

LES models for subgrid scalar transport and dissipation are assessed through joint experimental and numerical studies using experimental data from an axisymmetric, turbulent, co-flowing jet, and large eddy simulation of scalar mixing in a round turbulent jet. The dissipation models tested include: a gradient-based model, which is based on a local equilibrium assumption, a model that assumes pro...

Cutting efficiency and quality are very sensitive to gas jet pressure and nozzle standoff distance. Do a high gas pressure and a small standoff distance necessarily give better material removal capability and cutting quality? Simple experiments to measure the mass flow rate were carried out for two types of geometry: a circular hole and a linear cut directly underneath an axisymmetric nozzle. T...
