Natural Convection Effects on the Solidification in Cylinders at Different Filling Percentages
The solidification of a fluid in a partially-filled circular cylinder is encountered in a number of industrial processes and in the oil and gas sector. The characteristics of the process depends on various fluid and geometrical parameters. In the current study, a fluid with temperature ... Read More
A Multi-Physics Study of the Wave Propagation Problem in Open Cell Polyurethane Foams
Flexible and semi-rigid polyurethane foams are widely used as noise and vibration damping materials. Their porous random microstructure is composed of a visco-elastic frame structure with an interstitial fluid, normally air, filling the voids. The viscoelasticity of the foams is due to ... Read More
