Experiments on the melting of n-octadecane in the presence of a free surface were performed under the reduced gravity conditions of a parabolic flight, where natural gravitational convection is negligible.
Chip multicore processors (CMPs) constitute the architecture of choice for a wide spectrum of computing systems, ranging from power-efficient mobile devices to high-performance server platforms.
The Thermocapillary Effects in Phase Change Materials in Microgravity (TEPiM) experiment investigated the potential of Marangoni convection for heat transfer enhancement in Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in weightlessness, where the large melting/solidification timescale compromises their performance as thermal control devices.
We study a parabolic–parabolic chemotactic PDE’s system which describes the evolution of a biological population “u” and a chemical substance “v” in a two-dimensional bounded domain with regular boundary.
We present a new closure model for Large Eddy Simulation to introduce dissipation in under–resolved turbulent simulation using discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes applied to the compressible Navier–Stokes equations. The development of the method is based on a thorough analysis of the numerical dissipation mechanisms in DG schemes.
This paper analyzes from several perspectives the impact of an educational experience that combines Challenge-Based Learning, as an active learning methodology, and Concurrent Engineering, as a design methodology.
