The dynamic behavior of freely propagating premixed flames with large Lewis numbers was computationally simulated using a sixth-order central difference scheme and non-reflective boundary conditions. Results in the linear stage of the instability growth show that the growth rate dramatically decreases with increasing Lewis number and that the large activation energy excites the pulsating instab...

We present three novel pulsating solutions of the cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. They describe some complicated pulsating behavior of solitons in dissipative systems. We study their main features and the regions of parameter space where they exist.

period during which the valve is either on or off and the rate of pumping. An air supply from a cylinder or air line at a pressure of a few kilograms per square centimetre is required. The device is very flexible, the rate of flow can be quickly adjusted by altering the timer settings or changing the syringe size or stroke and it will work for long periods without failure. It is not suitable fo...

Convection heat transfer in pulsating turbulent flow with large velocity oscillating amplitudes in a pipe at constant wall temperature is numerically studied. A low-Reynolds-number (LRN) k–e turbulent model is used in the turbulence modeling. The model analysis indicates that Womersley number is a very important parameter in the study of pulsating flow and heat transfer. Flow and heat transfer ...

Demand for high-performance cooling systems is one of the most challenging and virtual issues in the industry and Pulsating heat pipes are effective solutions for this concern. In the present study, the best predictor correlations of flow boiling and condensation are taken into account to model a single turn pulsating heat pipe mathematically. These considerations, result in derivation of more ...
