Models and simulation of non-ideal fluid flows in unconventional turbomachinery: Toward highly efficient next-generation green power systems

The new generation of power plants based on innovative thermodynamic cycles operating with unconventional working fluids, such as CO2 close to its thermodynamic critical point or organic fluids close to their vapour saturation line, is an attractive option for high efficiency conversion of sustainable energy sources in the low and medium power...

A Practical Real Gas Model in CFD

Polynomial functions are generated to describe real gas properties in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Two-variable relative least square fitting is applied. In this way the real gas model can be generated fast and easily and the computational time requested is small and precision of the function can be easily adjusted. In this paper this...
