the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of evaporative media as gas turbine intake air cooling method on pressure drop of cartridge air filters. this study performed under the laboratory condition, using stainless steel test rig with specified dimensions to investigate the role of evaporative media in air cooling as well as its effects on new and used cartridge filters (as representati...

Speckle correlation diagnostics was used to study non-stationary multiple scattering multi-phase systems with spatially separated components on the instance of porous media in the course of liquid-phase evaporation. We propose a phenomenological model in which the local interfaces between air-filled and liquid-filled spaces in the probed medium act as an ensemble of the elementary dynamic scatt...

We numerically examine the influence of the viscosity on the relaxation process of localized clouds in thermally unstable two-phase media, which are locally heated by cosmic ray and cooled by radiation. Pulselike stationary solutions of the media are numerically obtained by a shooting method. In one-dimensional direct numerical simulations, localized clouds are formed during the two-phase separ...

Soil salinization is a major cause of soil degradation and hampers plant growth. For soils saturated with saline water, the evaporation water induces accumulation salt near top soil. The remaining liquid gets an increasingly larger density due to salt, giving gravitationally unstable situation, where instabilities in form fingers can form. These hence lead net downwards transport salt. We here ...

In an effort to develop methods based on integrating the subsurface to the atmospheric boundary layer to estimate evaporation, we developed a model based on the coupling of Navier-Stokes free flow and Darcy flow in porous medium. The model was tested using experimental data to study the effect of wind speed on evaporation. The model consists of the coupled equations of mass conservation for two...
