TL;DR: The influence of Reynolds number and blockage ratio on the vortex dynamics of a trapezoidal bluff body placed inside a circular pipe is studied experimentally and numerically in this article, where four different flow regimes are defined based on the distinct features of Strouhal number (St)-ReD relation: steady, laminar irregular, transition and turbulent.

TL;DR: In this article, the thermal response of bodies engulfed in di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) pool fires is studied numerically and the concept of adiabatic surface temperature (AST) is applied for DTBP pool fires to circumvent the difficulty of defining the fire exposure boundary condition at the solid surface.

TL;DR: In this paper, three solid-cone simplex nozzles with X-type swirl-insert and orifice diameters of 1.65, 1.9, and 2.45mm are characterized in detail.

TL;DR: In this paper, a steady state technique similar to thin metal foil technique used for impinging air jets was used for thermal characterisation of premixed methane-air flame jet. And the results showed that the thermal efficiency increases with the Reynolds number and equivalence ratio and decreases with the burner tip to plate spacing.

TL;DR: A novel dual sensor vortex cross correlation technique is suggested and implemented to extend the lower operating range of the flowmeter with a remarkable turndown ratio of 1:66 as compared to 1:20 for conventional vortex flowmeters.
