This article presents a new turbulence closure based on the k-ω SST model for predicting turbulent flows of Herschel–Bulkley fluids, including Bingham and power-law fluids. The has been calibrated with direct numerical simulations (DNS) data fully-developed pipe flow shear-thinning viscoplastic shows good agreement in mean velocity, average viscosity, shear stress budget friction factor. latter...

Abstract A study into the effect of tip clearance on ducted propellers was carried out. Two series propellers, namely B-series and Kaplan-series, were used. The gap between propeller varied from 2mm to 5mm. conducted numerically using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. solver is based Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solutions two turbulence modelling, i.e. k-ω SST by Menter exp...

Jet nozzle is a core component of the hydraulic perforating fracturing tool, and design structure directly affects effectiveness efficiency. In this paper, flow field characteristics nozzles are calculated by SST k- ω turbulence model. The results show that parameters significantly influence jet performance. Through orthogonal experiments, conical-cylindrical geometric preliminarily optimized a...

K-complex is an underlying pattern in the sleep EEG. Due to the role of sleep studies inneurophysiologic and cognitive disorders diagnosis, reliable methods for analysis and detection of this patternare of great importance. In our previous work, Synchrosqueezing Transform (SST) was proposed for analysisof this pattern. SST is an EMD-like tool, which benefits from wavelet transform and reallocat...

Split window (SW) methods, which have been successfully used to retrieve measurements of land surface temperature (LST) and sea surface temperature (SST) from MODIS images, were exploited to evaluate the SST data of three sections of Italian coastal waters. For this purpose, sea surface emissivity (SSE) values were estimated by adding the effects of salinity and total suspended particulate matt...
