Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Fluid, Thermal and Energy Systems


Book Description

This book comprises the proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Fluid, Thermal and Energy Systems. The contents of this book focus on phase change heat transfer, advanced energy systems, separated flows, turbulence and multi-phase modeling, computational fluid flow and heat transfer, thermal energy storage systems, integrated energy systems, nuclear thermal hydraulics, heat transfer in nanofluids, etc. This book serves as a useful reference to researchers, academicians, and students interested in the broad field of thermo-fluid science and engineering.







Analysis of Three-dimensional Inviscid Supersonic Flow Between a Body and an Outer Wall


Book Description

The three-dimensional inviscid supersonic flow equations are solved for the flow over a body located within a duct. Numerical solutions are obtained by use of the reference plane method of characteristics technique. Results of the analysis are compared with experimental test body pressure distributions obtained with an off-design jet stretcher system. The analysis is sufficiently general so that a variety of internal flows may be predicted. A computer program listing and an example problem are presented.







Use of a Characteristic Surfaces for Unsymmetrical Supersonic Flow Problems


Book Description

Application of the method of characteristics to the linearized three-dimensional equation results in a relatively simple system of difference equations that can be used to compute the supersonic flow past boundaries for which no other linearized solutions are available.




The Proceedings of the 2018 Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Aerospace Technology (APISAT 2018)


Book Description

This book is a compilation of peer-reviewed papers from the 2018 Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Aerospace Technology (APISAT 2018). The symposium is a common endeavour between the four national aerospace societies in China, Australia, Korea and Japan, namely, the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics (CSAA), Royal Aeronautical Society Australian Division (RAeS Australian Division), the Korean Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences (KSAS) and the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences (JSASS). APISAT is an annual event initiated in 2009 to provide an opportunity for researchers and engineers from Asia-Pacific countries to discuss current and future advanced topics in aeronautical and space engineering.
