It has been shown that geometrical, structural properties vary along the length of the aortic arch. There is a scarcity of studies focus on the variation in the vessel wall thickness of aortic arch. The central premise of this study is that…
The choice of lung protective ventilation settings for mechanical ventilation has a considerable impact on patient outcome, yet identifying optimal ventilatory settings for individual patients remains highly challenging due to the inherent…
Mechanical ventilation is used for patients with a variety of lung diseases. Traditionally, ventilators have been designed to monotonously deliver equal sized breaths. While it may seem intuitive that lungs may benefit from unvarying and…
Although ubiquitous in nature and industrial processes, transport processes at the interface during evaporation and condensation are still poorly understood. Experiments have shown temperature discontinuities at the interface during…
We experimentally study the aeroelastic instability boundaries and three-dimensional vortex dynamics of pitching swept wings, with the sweep angle ranging from 0 to 25 degrees. The structural dynamics of the wings are simulated using a…
A moderate-sized (8 MW) fire was modeled in a warehouse located in an urban area with diverse architecture, under wind conditions. The study investigates the impact of neighboring architecture on the wind field and the resulting effect on…
The group focused on a model problem of idealised moist air convection in a single column of atmosphere. Height, temperature and moisture variables were chosen to simplify the mathematical representation (along the lines of the Boussinesq…
Environmental pollutants are a source for reliability issues across data center and telecommunications equipment. A primary driver of this is the transport and deposition of particle matter (PM$_{2.5}$, PM$_{10}$) on printed circuit boards,…
High-speed vehicles experience a highly challenging environment in which the free-stream Mach number and surface temperature greatly influence aerodynamic drag and heat transfer. The interplay of these two parameters strongly affects the…
This article shows the importance of flow compressibility on the heat transfer in confined impinging jets, and how it is driven by both the Mach number and the wall heat-flux. Hence, we present a collection of cases at several Mach numbers…
The refuge floors have been introduced into high-rise buildings with the aim of ensuring a safe place to stay for the occupants in case of an emergency: primarily during a fire breakout. Provisionals for natural ventilation of the refuge…
Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) is a promising strategy for indoor air purification and outdoor pollutant abatement, potentially offering treatment for climate- and health-relevant pollutants such as methane (CH$_4$), nitrogen oxides…
Naturally ventilated buildings harness freely-available resources such as internal buoyancy gains and wind forcing in achieving comfortable interior conditions. Although these resources are free, they are time-variable and can be difficult…
The dissolution and microfluidic mass transfer of carbon dioxide in water at high-pressure conditions are crucial for a myriad of technological applications, including microreactors, extractions, and carbon capture, utilization, and…
With more than 32% of the global energy used by commercial and residential buildings, there is an urgent need to revisit traditional approaches to Building Energy Management (BEM). With HVAC systems accounting for about 40% of the total…
We propose a framework for describing the dynamics associated with the adsorption of small molecules to liquid-vapor interfaces, using an intermediate resolution between traditional continuum theories that are bereft of molecular detail and…
This work presents a procedure that can quickly identify and isolate methane emission sources leading to expedient remediation. Minimizing the time required to identify a leak and the subsequent time to dispatch repair crews can…
Energy efficiency of buildings is considered to be one of the major means of achieving the net-zero carbon goal around the world. The big part of the energy savings are supposed to be coming from optimizing the operation of the building…
We explore by means of modeling how absorptive-dispersive mixing between the second- and third-order terms modify the imaginary chi(2)total responses from air/water interfaces under conditions of varying charge densities and ionic strength.…
We consider super-Earth sized planets which have a water mass fraction that is large enough to form an external mantle composed of high pressure water ice polymorphs and that lack a substantial H/He atmosphere. We consider such planets in…
