Computational Modeling of Turbulent Spray Combustion

The objective of the research presented in this thesis is development and validation of predictive models or modeling approaches of liquid fuel combustion (spray combustion) in hot-diluted environments, known as flameless combustion or MILD combustion. The goal is to combine good physical insight, appropriate numerical methods and good software...

Towards an integrated simulation of casting and structural performance of flowable fibre-reinforced concrete

Most recent studies on fibre-reinforced self-compacting concrete agree on the impact of the casting conditions on the fibre orientation and distribution, and its consequence thereof on the structural performance. A substantial number of investigations are continuously contributing to gain experience on the use of flowable FRC for different...

Numerical study on the flow characteristics of micro air vehicle wings at low Reynolds numbers

The aerodynamic characteristics around a micro air vehicle wing with an inverse-Zimmerman configuration are numerically investigated by an in-house programmed solver particularly dedicated for aircrafts operating in low Reynolds number regime. The complex three-dimensional aerodynamic performance was investigated in terms of force generation...

Isothermal Calorimetry Study of Blended Cements and its Application in Numerical Simulations

Apparent activation energy (E) is generally used to consider the effect of temperature on the kinetics of cement hydration in the numerical simulation of cement hydration processes. This paper deals with an experimental study on the kinetics of Portland cement and blast furnace slag cement using isothermal Calorimetry at 20, 30, and 40°C. Two...
