Numerical Study of the Flow and Heat Transfer in Supercritical Water Based Fluidized Bed Reactor

Public version. This version is only limited to the summary. Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is a novel process for the thermochemical conversion of wet organic waste to gas and minerals. It is an alternative to the anaerobic digestion process, dewatering followed by drying and incineration and conventional dry gasification. Its...

A modification of the ITTC57 correlation line for shallow water

The ITTC57 correlation line, which is derived based on the assumption that the water in which ships advance is infinite deep and wide. However, for ships sailing in the waterway with limited water depth, the frictional resistance will be influenced leading to a decreasing accuracy of the prediction with this correlation line. In this study, a...

On the viscous resistance of ships sailing in shallow water

Accurate resistance prediction for ships sailing in vertically restricted waterways is highly required to improve the design and operation for large ships entering harbors and for vessels navigating in inland waters. The methods derived from deep water may lead to large errors, and studies considering shallow water effects are needed. As most...
