Published: April 2001

We present experimental data which correlate thermal measurements and flow visualization in convecting liquid 4He. For a small range R(C)R1, generating thermal oscillations as in earlier reports. At higher R values the time dependence becomes aperiodic with the surprising appearance of spiral-defect chaos at an aspect ratio smaller than has previously been reported.

Homogeneous boiling over melting ice.

Sci Rep

We report on discovering the homogeneous boiling within a liquid film residual resting in equilibrium over a melting ice block. This phenomenon was induced via longwave infrared radiation generated by a continuous wave [Formula: see text] laser. This investigation employed a high-speed camera and the Schlieren visualization technique.

The application of a pulsed magnetic field (PMF) during a metallurgy solidification process has proven to be an effective method in refining the grain size and improving the mechanical performance of the material. However, fewer works were reported in the realm of laser additive manufacturing (LAM) and the mechanism of grain refinement consequent to the PMF is still unclear. In this work, numerical models were developed to study the thermal-fluid characteristics in the Ti-alloy melt pool generated during the laser scanning process under the effect of a combined direct current (DC) electric field and PMF.

investigations on hydrodynamic phonon transport: From diffusion to convection.

In classical theory, heat conduction in solids is regarded as a diffusion process driven by a temperature gradient, whereas fluid transport is understood as convection process involving the bulk motion of the liquid or gas. In the framework of theory, which is directly built upon quantum mechanics without relying on measured parameters or phenomenological models, we observed and investigated the fluid-like convective transport of energy carriers in solid heat conduction. Thermal transport, carried by phonons, is simulated in graphite by solving the Boltzmann transport equation using a Monte Carlo algorithm.

Phenylarsonic acid (PAA) compounds, widely used in animal husbandry, pose a considerable environmental threat owing to their potential transformation into toxic inorganic arsenic species. To efficiently decontaminate PAA and adsorb secondary As(V), a hybrid CuFeO-modified carbon nanotube (CuFeO-CNT) filter was developed in this study. The hybrid CuFeO-CNT filter functioned as an effective catalyst, convective filtration medium, electrode, and adsorbent.

The hydrodynamic and thermal interactions between neighboring vapor bubbles on hot surfaces play a crucial role in heat transport and flow characteristics. To investigate these interactions, we conducted numerical simulations of saturated vapor bubbles in a two-dimensional square enclosure filled with liquid water. The water was heated at the bottom and cooled at the top to replicate boiling at 100^{∘}C and normal atmospheric pressure.
