Noble metal-modified octahedral anatase titania particles with enhanced activity for decomposition of chemical and microbiological pollutants
Abstract Octahedral anatase particles (OAPs) were prepared by hydrothermal (HT) reaction of titanate nanowires (TNWs). OAPs were modified with noble metals (Au, Ag, Cu and Pt) by two photodeposition methods: in the absence and in the initial...

Large eddy simulation of a T-Junction with upstream elbow: The role of Dean vortices in thermal fatigue
Abstract Turbulent mixing of fluids in a T-Junction can generate oscillating thermal stresses in pipe walls, which may lead to high cycle thermal fatigue. This thermal stripping problem is an important safety issue in nuclear plant thermal-hydraulic ...

Hydrodynamic Instability in the Generation of Slat Noise
Abstract Slat noise constitutes today a major contribution to the total noise emitted by regional jets, and the mechanisms responsible for their generation are not completely understood. In this paper, we are concerned with the low-frequency peaks...
