RANS simulations have been broadly used to investigate turbulence in the oceans and atmosphere. Within these environments there are a multitude of tracers undergoing reactions (e.g., phytoplankton growth, chemical reactions). The distribution of these re...

The tip gap region of an axial compressor rotor is a source of complex flows, inducing losses and stability issues. Recent works have proven the ability of blowing high-speed jets in the tip region to improve the surge margin of an axial compressor stage...

Air-cooled condensers (ACCs) are commonly found in power plants working with concentrated solar power or in steam power plants operated in regions with limited water availability. In ACCs, the flow of air is driven toward the heat exchangers by axial fan...
