Window design has been revolutionized-largely by the introduction of low emissivity (low-e) coatings and substitute fill gases. The large number of design options necessitates the use of computer simulation for development ...

By employing rheological experiments, mode coupling theory, and computer simulations based on realistic coarse-grained models, we investigate the effects of small, hard colloids on the glassy states formed by large, soft ...

In this paper, the heat flux distributions on a prismatic lithium-ion battery at 1C, 2C, 3C and 4C discharge rates under various operating temperatures and boundary conditions (BCs) of 22 °C for air cooling and 5 °C, 15 ...

Research is documented which makes use of a computer program called VISION, This computer program was developed specifically to provide a detailed analysis of heat transfer occurring in glazing systems. VISION was modified ...

Previous work has shown that highly infrared transparent plastic films are well suited for use as inner glazings when used in conjunction with a low emissivity coating. Thermal resistance measurements of a set of glazing ...

Accurate estimation of the solar gain of a fenestration system is important in analyzing the energy performance of buildings. Recently, models were developed for complex fenestration systems – glazing systems with attachments ...

A 3D predictive golfer model can be a valuable tool for investigating the golf swing and designing new clubs. A forward dynamic model, which includes a four degree of freedom golfer model, a flexible shaft based on Rayleigh ...

The selection of optimum pane spacing for glazing systems has been a topic of ongoing debate in the window manufacturing industry. Arguments are often based on speculation, intuition and results from tests not specifically ...

The formulation of multi-temperature convection problems in terms of a single driving temperature difference and a single heat transfer coefficient does not properly reflect the physics of the problem. Paired heat transfer ...

We consider the simulation of dense foams composed of microscopic bubbles, such as shaving cream and whipped cream. We represent foam not as a collection of discrete bubbles, but instead as a continuum. We employ the ...
