We investigate, in the rotating drum configuration, the transition from the regime of discontinuous avalanches observed at low angular velocity to the regime of continuous flow observed at higher velocity. Instead of the hysteretic transition reported previously by Rajchenbach [Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 2221 (1990)], with an apparent bistability of the two flow regimes in a range of drum velocities,...

Most two-phase flow measurements depend on correct flow regime identification. Many methods have been proposed to identify the flow regime, but none of them can work well across different flow conditions. In this paper we apply a non-intrusive instrument of different types of sensor to extract the data under different flow conditions. In light of these different sensor information, evidence the...

Sinusoidal oscillatory flow around a circular cylinder is simulated to study the periodic streaming in three flow regimes under the low KC and low  number conditions. The first regime of periodic streaming is featured by V-shape jet-like streams towards a fix direction. In the second regime, the V-shaped streams also exist, but the V-shape switches direction with a secondary flow period. The t...

An analysis has been conceded to study the effects of Soret and thermal radiation effects on the magnetohydrodynamic convective flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid with heat and mass transfer over a plate with time-dependent suction velocity in a slip flow regime in the presence of first-order chemical reaction. The slip conditions at the boundaries for the governin...

In this study, turbulent compressible gas flow in a rectangular micro-channel is numerically investigated. The gas flow assumed to be in the subsonic regime up to Mach number about 0.7. Five low and high Reynolds number RANS turbulence models are used for modeling the turbulent flow. Two types of mesh are generated depending on the employed turbulence model. The computations are performed for R...

Stormwater management strategies increasingly recognise the need to emulate the pre-development flow regime, in addition to reducing pollutant concentrations and loads. However, it is unclear whether current design approaches for stormwater source-control techniques are effective in restoring the whole flow regime, and in particular low flows, towards their pre-development levels. We therefore ...
