Abstract Optimization of all the process parameters for laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), considering effects individual on Ti6Al4V fabricated parts, can be complex and challenging. Therefore, first time, three main variable (laser power, scan speed, hatch spacing) outcomes (surface roughness, bulk porosity, production rate parts) were studied in this work. Then, combination above-mentioned form...

The interfacial instabilities important to the modeling of critical heat flux (CHF) in reduced-gravity systems are sensitive to even minute body forces, especially for small coolant velocities. Understanding these effects is of paramount importance to both the reliability and safety of two-phase thermal management loops proposed for future space and planetary-based thermal systems. Unfortunatel...

Extremal six-dimensional black string solutions with some non-trivial momentum distribution along the wave are considered. These solutions were recently shown to contain a singularity at the would-be position of the event horizon. In the black string geometry, all curvature invariants are finite at the horizon. It is shown that if the effects of infalling matter are included, there are curvatur...

A simple model to explain the numerically observed behavior of chaotically varying stripes and square patterns in zero-Prandtl-number convection in Boussinesq fluid is presented. The nonlinear interaction of mutually perpendicular sets of wavy rolls, via higher-order modes, may lead to a competition between the two sets of rolls. The appearance of square patterns is due to a secondary forward b...
