A critical review of the pseudopotential multiphase lattice Boltzmann model: Methods and applications

TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of the theory and applications of a multiphase model in the community of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), the pseudopotential model proposed by Shan and Chen (1993), is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fatty acids as phase change materials: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal reliability and stability of fatty acids as phase change materials and their heat transfer characteristics in a unit are analyzed. And the energy storage systems of three kinds of fatty acid as PCMs are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The field synergy (coordination) principle and its applications in enhancing single phase convective heat transfer
