Steam turbines are an integral part of power generating systems. The durability and reliability of steam turbines depend heavily on the integrity of their blades. In the last stages of a steam turbine, steam condenses and produces droplets. The effect of these droplets on the ef…

The successful application of Computational Aeroacoustics (CAA) requires high accuracy numerical schemes with good dissipation and dispersion characteristics. Unstructured meshes have a greater geometrical flexibility than existing high order structured mesh methods. This work i…

Evaporative spray cooling is a technique that utilizes the latent heat of evaporation of a cold liquid spray to rapidly cool a hot gaseous source. During evaporation the liquid droplets are fixed at their boiling point, ensuring a large temperature differential between liquid an…
