We report upon a theoretical and experimental investigation of a porous medium ‘filling box’ flow by specifically examining the details of the laminar descending plume and its outflow in a control volume having an impermeable bottom boundary and sidewalls. The plume outflow initially comprises a...

We present an analytical solution for buoyancy-driven “filling box” flows in axisymmetric porous media having closed bottom and side boundaries. The flow consists first and foremost of a descending, point source plume. When plume fluid reaches the (horizontal) bottom boundary, it begins to flow...

We report upon experimental and analytical investigations of filling box flows in non-uniform porous media characterized by a sudden change in permeability. The porous medium consists of two layers separated by a horizontal permeability jump and is initially filled with light ambient fluid. A...

A comparative study between optimal metal and composite rotors for flywheel energy storage systems
Download2018-11-01
Most recent research on flywheel rotors has focused on high-speed composite rotors as the storage element of the flywheel energy storage system (FESS). Literature research indicates that this is primarily due to the high specific energy of composites compared to metals. However, a quantitative...

Buoyancy-driven exchange flow between two adjacent building zones connected with top and bottom vents
Download2018-10-23
We examine the buoyancy driven flow between two adjacent building zones separated by top and bottom vents with and without a source of buoyancy. In the absence of a source, by opening the vents, the pressure difference between the two zones drives the exchange flow. When there is an isolated...

The traditional approach of cooling tower plume abatement is supposed to result in an unsaturated, well-mixed plume with a ‘‘top-hat” structure in the radial structure, but this is an idealization that is rarely achieved in practice. Meanwhile, previous analyses have shown that there may be an...

We examine the transient evolution of a negatively buoyant, laminar plume in an emptying filling box containing a uniform porous medium. In the long time limit, the box is partitioned into two uniform layers of different densities. However, the approach towards steady state is characterized by a...
