Protective coating materials are applied in a thin layer to the offshore metallic structure against corrosion. Delamination of the coating material is the main limitation and is one of the main issues encountered during operation which leads to ...

The integrity of plate structures in numerous facilities and vehicles is essential for ensuring safety. Guided wave testing is a prominent non-destructive testing (NDT) technique, especially for wide plate or long pipe structures. It can be ...

One of the factors significantly influencing the flow structures and vortices formed on delta wings is the shape of the leading edge. This study examined the impact of needle vortex generators, inspired by owl wings, on the flow characteristics ...${\mathrm{}}^{\mathrm{}}$

A wind tunnel experiment was performed to study the wake vortex dynamic behind a circular cylinder with two perpendicular slits (TPS) using time-resolved particle image velocimetry. The experimental studies were conducted at a Reynolds number of ...

The containment liner plate (CLP) is a thin layer of carbon steel material applied as a base for concrete structures protecting nuclear material. The structural health monitoring of the CLP is critical to ensure the safety of nuclear power plants. ...

The dynamic behavior of a droplet impinging on a hot surface was examined experimentally using high-speed cameras. De-ionized water droplets with a diameter of 2.25 mm were generated through a 31G injection needle. A sapphire plate with ...

Thermographic phosphors utilize the luminescence properties of doped ceramic materials and can be used to measure surface temperatures as a non-contact temperature measurement method. These phosphor materials are coated onto the object of interest ...

Global thresholding parameters for the semantic segmentation of bubbles from experimental bubble image shadowgraph were implemented. Traditional image processing algorithms for experimental visualization of multiphase flows require very rigorous ...

To analyze airway changes in patients who underwent various types of oral cancer surgery, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based on 3D reconstruction of the airway was applied. Seventeen patients were included in the study (12 males and 5 ...

Impingement/effusion cooling is the most common cooling technique or the leading edge region of a gas turbine blade to increase the maximum allowable turbine inlet temperature and thermal efficiency. This study investigated the flow ...

Printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) has semi-circular micro-channels with high thermal performance and is widely used in the oil and gas industry, refrigeration, and other fields. PCHE is seen as the most promising technology in LNG-floating ...

In this study, the dynamic characteristics of water droplets impinging on a heated cylinder were investigated using a high-speed camera regarding the diameter ratios between droplet and cylinder. Water droplets generated by a needle in the range ...

With the advancement of electron microscopy, industrial microscale objects are analyzed through image-based characterization. However, the automated and objective assessment of a vast number of images required for quality control is limited by the ...

Mixing is an inseparable part of many industries. Static mixers are motionless inserts that are widely used for mixing. In this study, planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) was used to study the mixing characteristics of a multilayer static ...

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) can act as a useful index of nonspecific disease activity in the diagnosis of inflammatory conditions. However, there are several drawbacks, including long time measurement. To promote ESR tendency, a micro-...

The phenomenon of foam formation by air entrainment of impinging water jet is reported in this paper. An effort has been made to understand the physics of the phenomenon through visual and photographic observations. The formation of an air sheath ...$\mathrm{}{\mathrm{}}^{\mathrm{}}\mathrm{}{\mathrm{}}^{\mathrm{}}{}^{\mathrm{}}$

Airfoils are mostly inefficient in their off-design conditions. In order to improve the aerodynamic performance of airfoils in these conditions, using an optimized cavity on airfoils as a passive method can be useful. In this study, a cavity on a ...

Considering the shear-thinning feature of blood viscosity, the characteristics of non-Newtonian fluids are important in pulsatile blood flows. Stenosis, with an abnormal narrowing of the vessel, blocks blood flow to downstream tissues and leads to ...
