The three dimensional near wake flow topology behind a blunt trailing edge flat plate isinvestigated for a Reynolds number range varying from 500 to 4.6x104 using a combination offlow visualization, numerical simulations and exper
The increasing complexity of electronic devices and components challengesconventional cooling techniques. For continued development in the electronics field,innovative cooling techniques are required. This thesis examines heat tra
Liquid and liquid/gas flows through spacer filled channels were studied using ParticleImagingVelocimetry (PIV) to provide experimental support for velocity distributions obtained from Computational Fluid Dynamics
The dynamics associated with a long rod projectile, travelling at high velocity, penetrating aheterogeneous target has long been an active research area. Historically both analytic andnumeric models have assumed a continuous targe
This article concerns the flame dynamics of a bluff body stabilized turbulent premixed flame as it approaches lean blowoff. Time resolved chemiluminescence imaging along with simultaneous particle image velocimetry and OH planar l
In this paper a comparative study is presented to assess the uncertainty of two methods for 3C3D velocimetry in microscopic flows: stereoscopic micro-particle image velocimetry (S-μPIV) and wavefront-deformation, or astigmatism, m
Polyolefins are polymers produced from olefins such as ethylene and/orpropylene. Although polyolefins can be produced via different productionmethods, the gas-phase polymerization process based on fluidizedbed reactor technology i
In this paper, a comparative study between numerical and experimental results fromPIV measurements is presented in the case of two-dimensional electrohydrodynamic plumes that arise when a sharp metallic blade, submerged in non con
