Film cooling systems induce a range of complex phenomena associated with the interaction of the coolant jet discharging into a crossflow. The jet-in-crossflow configuration has been extensively studied through experiments and direct/large-eddy numerical simulations. However, most previous simulations consider a laminar crossflow and a transverse jet originating from a fully developed pipe flow ...

A new finite volume algorithm has been developed to solve a variety of flows by using large eddy simulation and direct numerical simulation. This finite volume algorithm was developed using a dual time stepping approach with a preconditioning technique and a new factorization implementation. The method takes the advantage of pressure-based and density-based meth­ ods. Thus, it provides an effic...

Thin liquid wall fillTIs flowing under the influence of high-velocity turbulent gas streaIllS were studied for the purpose of obtaining an understanding of the Illechanics of filIll cooling. Conditions which insure liquid-filIll attachIllent to solid surfaces without loss of unevaporated liquid to the gas streaIll when siIllple radial-hole injectors are used were found; the IllaxiIlluIll allowa...

1 Contact author e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A 3D electrothermal model is used to simulate and optimize Si/SiGe superlattice heterostructure micro-coolers. The model considers thermoelectric/thermionic cooling, heat conduction and Joule heating. It also includes non-ideal effects, such as contact resistance between metal and semiconductor, substrate/heatsink thermal resistance, the side c...

A Plane-Wave-Transformer (PWT), integrated photoinjector operating at an X-band frequency (8.547GHz) is being developed by DULY Research Inc. in a DOE SBIR project, in collaboration with UCLA and UCD/ILSA. Upward frequency scaling from an S-band PWT photoinjector would result in a compact photoinjector with unprecedented brightness. Challenging technological innovations are required at X-band. ...

An analytical model has been developed for the study of turbulent film condensation from downward flowing vapors onto a horizontal elliptical tube with variable wall temperature. The interfacial shear at the vapor condensate film is evaluated with the help of Colburn analogy. The condensate film flow and local/or mean heat transfer characteristics from a horizontal elliptical tube with nonunifo...

Film-cooling flows are characterized by a row of jets injected at an angle from the blade surface or endwalls into the heated crossflow. The resulting flowfield is quite complex, and accurate predictions of the flow and heat transfer have been difficult to obtain using traditional two-equation turbulence models employed with ReynoldsAveraged Navier–Stokes (RANS) solvers. Recently, a four-equati...

The cooling of the steel strip in ROT (run out table) of the hot rolling process is very important in that the ROT is the final process to control the mechanical properties of the final products. In general the products are cooled by the circular water jets which makes the comparatively thick residual water layer about 100–200 mm with the supplied flow rate on the plate. The basic phenomenon go...
