Modeling, air balancing and optimal pressure set-point selection for the ventilation system with minimized energy consumption by Jing, Gang, Cai, Wenjian, Zhang, Xin, Cui, Can, Yin, Xiaohong, Xian, Huacai

“…Traditional static pressure reset control strategies commonly use a feedback indicator to reset the static pressure; this results in under-ventilation in certain zones and over-ventilation in others. Based on this issue, the objective of this study was to develop a model-based, improved, static pressure reset control strategy, providing a well-balanced system to eliminate under-ventilation and over-ventilation, while consuming minimal energy. …”

Contribution of Mach number to the evolution of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability induced by a shock-accelerated square light bubble by Singh, Satyvir

“…In contrast to low Mach numbers, high Mach numbers produce the larger rolled-up vortex chains, larger inward jet formation, and a stronger mixing zone with greater expansion. The effects of Mach numbers are explored in detail through phenomena such as the vorticity generation, and evolutions of enstrophy as well as dissipation rate. …”
