Researchers use Direct Numerical Simulations to enhance efficiency, reduce pollution in diesel engines. A "cool flame" may sound contradictory, but it's an important element of diesel combustion -- ...

The nonlinear development of stationary crossflow vortices over a 45° swept NLF(2)-0415 airfoil is studied. Previous investigations indicate that the linear stability theories are unable to accurately ...

The flow is away from the viewer, from the lower left to the upper right. The Reynolds number based on momentum thickness at the midpoint of the volume is 700. A passive scalar has been introduced ...

Turbulence in the cooling system of a fusion machine such as the blanket is especially complex and its understanding and prediction is one of the major challenges facing the reactor design. The ...

Sandia National Laboratories scientist Rémi Dingreville has co-developed a way to speed up virtually any kind of computer simulation, a ubiquitous research tool across science and industry.

This study is aimed at better understanding and prediction of the MHD-influenced turbulent cooling phenomena in geometries/conditions directly relevant to the fusion bleeding blanket using direct ...

LIVERMORE, Calif. -- A "cool flame" may sound contradictory, but it's an important element of diesel combustion -- one that, once properly understood, could enable better engine designs with higher ...
