RGB Flow Pattern Mapping and Classification

A novel alternative to flow regime identification

Separate Effects of Curvature on Two-Phase Flow

Experiments and analysis of two-phase flow subjected to centrifugal forces

Objective Flow Regime Identification for Inclined Two-Phase Flows

Experiments and machine learning applications for flow regime identification

Wire-Wrapped Rod Bundle Experiments and Pressure Drop Modeling

Wire-wrapped rod bundles are often proposed for advanced nuclear reactors operating in a fast neutron spectrum, as designers seek to minimize neutron scattering by tightly packing the fuel pins into a hexagonal lattice.
