The performance of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), which is the most commercially used polymer in drag reduction (DR) applications, is affected by several factors. These factors include ...

We present computer simulations of entangled finitely extensible wormlike chains, including real space chain coupling, in shearing flows. Extending existing simulation techniques, we examine the ...

In recent years, power electronics solutions spread through fields ever less tied to a pure industrial context for embracing on-coming applications in consumer, automotive and renewable energy markets ...

A novel giant electro-rheological fluid damper is designed and manufactured, which works on a shear-flow mixed mode, and the Bingham mode has been used for the damping force modelling. To better study ...
