A study of Taylor bubbles in vertical and inclined slug flow using multiphase CFD with level set
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Slug flow commonly occurs in gas and oil systems. Current predictive methods are based on mechanistic models, which require the use of closure relations to complement the conservation equations to predict integral flow ... -
Path planning and adaptive sampling in the coastal ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)When humans or robots operate in complex dynamic environments, the planning of paths and the collection of observations are basic, indispensable problems. In the oceanic and atmospheric environments, the concurrent use of ... -
Impact of fuel and oxidizer composition on premixed flame stabilization in turbulent swirling flows : dynamics and scaling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The world relies on fossil fuels as its main energy source (86.7% in 1973, 81.7% in 2012). Several factors including the abundance of resources and the existing infrastructure suggest that this is likely to continue in the ...
