To evaluate the performance of RANS turbulence models, this study compares four different cavity flow benchmarks using prevailing two-equation models for indoor airflows, namely standard and RNG k-ε SST k-ω models. A consists one air inlet outlet slot. The slot is positioned on upper left corner cavity, whereas located in lower right. This representative mixing ventilation. These differ by thei...

This work focuses on numerical simulations of flows inblade internal cooling system. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) andReynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) approaches are com-pared in a typical blade cooling related problem. The case isa straight rib-roughened channel with high blockage ratio, com-puted and compared for both a periodic and full spatial domains.The con...

We examine the growth, survival, and context of 256 novel hashtags during the 2012 U.S. presidential debates. Our analysis reveals the trajectories of hashtag use fall into two distinct classes: “winners” that emerge more quickly and are sustained for longer periods of time than other “also-rans” hashtags. We propose a “conversational vibrancy” framework to capture dynamics of hashtags based on...

This document is the final report on the definition of the inter-RAN cooperation schemes, initiated in the deliverable D4.1. It includes the mechanisms and techniques for the efficient cooperation among heterogeneous radio access networks (RANs), with focus on the cooperation between the WINNER RAN and legacy RANs specifically GSM/GPRS/UMTS and IEEE 802.11. The report has three main parts. The ...

Bertrand Rollin, CCS-2; Nicholas A. Denissen, Jon M. Reisner, Malcolm J. Andrews, XCP-4; Jimmy Fung, XCP-1 Computing requirements for simulating complex multi-physics flows are such that Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models will remain the community’s chosen workhorse for years to come. Within applications of interest to LANL, such as compressible mixing, the Besnard Harlow Rauenzahn (...

Data from experiments and direct simulations of turbulence have historically been used to calibrate simple engineering models such as those based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations. In the past few years, with the availability of large and diverse datasets, researchers have begun to explore methods to systematically inform turbulence models with data, with the goal of quant...

A series of RANS-based aerodynamic shape optimization for an 800-passenger blended-wing-body aircraft is performed. A gradient-based optimization algorithm and a parallel structured multiblock RANS solver with Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model are used. The derivatives are computed using a discrete adjoint method considering both frozen-turbulence and full-turbulence assumptions. A total of 274...

It is known that wind turbines actually operate in the lower part of the atmospheric 11 boundary layer (ABL), the modelling of this ABL flow is an important precondition for the 12 simulations of wind turbine wakes. So, the capabilities of various inlet boundary conditions with 13 related modelling methodologies in constructing equilibrium ABL are validated firstly through 14 cases of a neutral...

EUTRANS system is a telephone speech input translation prototype capable of translating telephone calls from one language to another. It assumes a human to human communication , each one speaking a different language, assisted by a system with translation capabilities. The prototype has been developed as a demonstrator for the Eu-ropean project with the same name. EUTRANS achieves a response ti...
