Summary: This article analyzes the influence of thermal radiation on double-diffusive natural convection of a nanofluid past an inclined wavy surface in the presence of gymtactic microorganisms. A coordinate transformation and pseudo-similarity variables were used to non-dimensionalize the governing non-linear differential equations, which were then linearized and solved using the bivariate Chebyshev pseudo-spectral collocation method. The effects of physical and geometrical parameters on flow quantities were illustrated and analyzed through graphs.

Summary: This study investigates the mixed convection of a nanofluid flowing past an inclined wavy surface in the presence of gyrotactic microbes. By converting the wavy surface to a plane surface through a coordinate transformation and using pseudo-similarity variables, the governing equations and boundary conditions are transformed into dimensionless form and linearized through local linearization. The analysis shows that skin friction, microorganism density, and nanoparticle mass transfer rate increase with bioconvection Peclet and Schmidt numbers, while decreasing with Rayleigh number. Additionally, the local Nusselt number, nanoparticle Sherwood number, and microbe density number increase with Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameters, and these physical quantities increase when the surface changes from horizontal to vertical.

Summary: This study investigates the flow characteristics of a water-based hybrid nanofluid consisting of silver and alumina nanoparticles past a spinning disk. The effects of Brownian motion, activation energy, magnetic field, and thermophoresis are taken into account. The partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) through suitable correspondence transformations. The modeled equations are solved using a semi-analytical method known as HAM. Graphical representations of the nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid profiles are used. The findings show a decrease in the radial and tangential velocities of the nanofluids and hybrid nanofluid with an increase in the magnetic factor. The hybrid nanofluid exhibits higher growth and better thermal conductivity than the nanofluids due to the magnetic factor.

Summary: This study investigates the wind flow around buildings with different rooftops using large-eddy simulation (LES) numerically. The LES method is used to compute the large eddies and the dynamic Smagorinsky subgrid-scale (SGS) model calculates the small eddies. Artificial turbulent fields are generated at the inlet using the turbulent spot method. The study aims to analyze the wakes' vortical structure of buildings with different heights and shapes. Precise predictions of airflow around buildings are important for various engineering applications to ensure performance and safety. The numerical solver is validated by comparing it with earlier reported numerical and experimental data. The turbulent flow characteristics are discussed in terms of instantaneous flow structure and time-averaged statistical flow quantities. The simulated cases have a Reynolds number Re = 12,000 to understand the turbulent airflow patterns. The flow exhibits a separable bubble at the leading edge of the building's rooftop, resulting in recirculation at the lee side of the first row of buildings. Suction occurs near the leading edge of the building due to this recirculation, ensuring a continuous flow of air around the obstacles. Additionally, Reynolds stresses show high momentum fluxes in the frontal region of the buildings.

Summary: The physical aspects of the alumina and silver nanoparticles on the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of mixed convection micropolar hybrid nanofluid with EG-H2O base fluid via stretching surface embedded in a porous medium are investigated and analyzed. The influence of suction on the flow behavior is discussed, along with the analysis of heat transport phenomena. Nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations and solved using the NDSolve technique. The influence of different flow parameters on velocity, microrotation, and temperature profiles of the hybrid nanofluid is depicted graphically, and the skin friction coefficients for nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid are calculated and presented in tabular form. Results show that the velocity of the hybrid nanofluid is higher with increasing stretching ratio parameter, and the suction parameter enhances the microrotation profile of the hybrid nanofluid. Furthermore, the velocity, microrotation, and temperature of the hybrid nanofluid are found to be higher compared to the alumina nanofluid and silver-nanofluid.

Summary: The low thermal conductivity of phase change materials limits the heat transfer rate and application of latent heat storage systems. This numerical study examines the impact of two passive heat transfer enhancement techniques on the thermal performance of a latent heat storage system. The results show that the orientation and position of the heat transfer fluid tube have significant effects on the charging duration, while the discharging duration remains unchanged. The combined effect of orientation and eccentricity reduces the charging duration, but increases the discharging duration compared to the concentric domain.

Summary: This paper investigates the calculation method of thermal conductivity in NAPLs-contaminated soils. By establishing NAPLs-contaminated soil models and using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) for calculation, an optimized three-dimensional model with high computational accuracy and efficiency is obtained. The study also finds that saturation and Nz parameters have a significant impact on calculation time, while the thermal conductivity of the two-dimensional model is more sensitive to anisotropy. The influence of porosity and NAPLs content on thermal conductivity should be considered during in-situ thermal desorption.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of upstream slot leakage on the endwall film cooling characteristics of turbine blades. Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) technology was used to measure the film cooling characteristics, and numerical analysis was conducted to evaluate the aerodynamic performance. It was found that increasing the mass flow ratio of the upstream slot enhanced film cooling, decreased aerodynamic losses, and reduced the strength of passage vortex. However, reducing the distance between the slot and the blade leading edge only enhanced film cooling without affecting the leakage coverage area.

Summary: We have developed an advanced experimental setup to investigate flow and heat transfer in an annular channel. The setup allows heat transfer measurements and flow visualization using a temperature-controlled inner tube. Measurements can be conducted in both single-phase and two-phase flow regimes. The setup ensures a uniform velocity field in the annular channel using specially designed inlet and outlet headers. The inner copper tube is heated by water and contains turbulators for enhanced heat transfer and thermocouples for temperature measurement. A three-dimensional conjugate heat transfer CFD model has been developed and validated to accurately estimate heat losses in the setup. This study demonstrates the importance of numerical simulations in improving the interpretation of complex experimental results.
