Analysis of oscillatory flow and heat transfer in an oscillating heat pipe
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)An advanced physical and theoretical model of a U-shaped minichannel - a building block of an Oscillating Heat Pipe (OHP) - has been developed step by step. a) The gravity and pressure loss at the bend are included in the ... -
An axisymmetric interfacial tracking model for melting-vaporization-resolidification in a thin metal film irradiated by pico to femtosecond pulse lasers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)A two dimensional axisymmetric, interfacial tracking method is developed to model rapid melting and solidification of a free standing metal film subjected to an ultra-short laser pulse. Finite volume method is employed to ... -
Molecular dynamics simulation of nanosintering processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)In this thesis, two scenarios of simulations are studied by molecular dynamics (MD) method. The first one will investigate the neck growth in the laser sintering of different-size gold (100) nanoparticles under different ...
