Numerical investigation of bubble-induced marangoni convection
(2009)
The liquid motion induced by surface tension variation, termed the thermocapillary
or Marangoni effect, and its contribution to boiling heat transfer has long been a very
controversial issue. In the past this convection ...
Numerical Investigation of Bubble Induced Marangoni Convection: Some Aspects of Bubble Geometry
(2008)
Thermocapillary or Marangoni convection is a surface tension driven flow that occurs when a gas–liquid or vapor–liquid interface is subjected to a temperature gradient. In the past, the contribution to local heat transfer ...
Digital image correlation and finite element modelling as a method to determine mechanical properties of human soft tissue in vivo.
(2009)
The mechanical properties of human soft tissue are crucial for impact biomechanics, rehabilitation engineering
and surgical simulation. Validation of these constitutive models using human data remains challenging and
often ...
Heat transfer mechanisms in an impinging synthetic jet for a small jet-to-surface spacing
(2009)
Impinging synthetic jets have been identified as a promising technique for cooling miniature surfaces like
electronic packages. This study investigates the relation between the convective heat transfer characteristics
and ...
A comparison of stratified sand filters and percolation trenches for on-site wastewater treatment
(2009)
Two separate on-site wastewater treatment systems were constructed at premises in eastern Ireland, one using a conventional septic tank, the other using a septic tank followed by a naturally aerated peat filter. The ...
