This study employs a multiphase solidification model to simulate directional solidification processes under varying forced convection intensities and cooling rates. The model demonstrated robust predictive capabilities for columnar growing direction, channel segregation, and macrosegregation distribution. Building upon the method of the Rayleigh number (<em>Ra</em>), two dimensionless parameters, <em>Ch</em><sub>Ra</sub> and <em>Ch</em><sub>g</sub>, were formulated to characterize the state of interdendritic phase forces at the solidification front, including gravitational, thermosolutal buoyancy, and drag forces. A third parameter, <em>Ch</em><sub>v</sub>, was defined as the ratio of liquid flow velocity to columnar tip growth velocity. Combined with the Womersley number (<em>Wo</em>), which quantifies vortex shedding frequency in cylindrical flows, the correlations between these four dimensionless criteria and solute segregation were analyzed. Results revealed that <em>Ch</em><sub>v</sub> and <em>Wo</em> exhibited strong correlations with segregation severity, while <em>Ch</em><sub>Ra</sub> and <em>Ch</em><sub>g</sub> showed limited predictive utility. All criteria followed a similar evolutionary trajectory, aligning temporally with the formation of segregated channels in the ingot. Channel segregation ceased entirely when the maximum <em>Wo</em> value decreased to the critical range of 0.03–0.13 in this paper. These findings demonstrated that dimensionless criteria quantifying perturbations in interfacial flow and dendritic growth kinetics not only predicted the onset of segregated channels but also assessed the severity of solute inhomogeneity.

The effects of subcooling, mesh number, layer, and screen structure on condensation mode, droplet departure diameter, and heat transfer coefficient (HTC) were explored. The results indicate that the condensation mode of the screen is different from that of the smooth copper surface, with the screen exhibiting a rivulet mode, whereas the smooth copper surface shows a dropwise mode. Sintering pressure affects the condensation mode of a single layer of 300-mesh screen but has minimal effect on the HTC. As subcooling increases, the droplet departure diameter on the screen surface also increases. The HTC of the screen is lower than that of the smooth copper surface, with reduction varying depending on the mesh number. The effect of the layer number of screen on the HTC varies with the mesh number. The thermal resistance of condensation in the vertical orientation is not linearly related to the layer number of screen, which contrasts with the conventional thermal resistance theory. Gradient screens appear to have a minimal impact on the HTC.

Two high-order S-FEM models have been developed: NS-PFEM-1 for linear thermal strain and NS-PFEM-2 for second-order thermal strain. By employing the gradient smoothing technique, the shape function values on the boundaries of node-based smoothing domains are required rather than the derivatives of the shape function, which reduces the continuity requirements for shape functions. It also eliminates the isoparametric mapping in polygonal finite element methods, which can significantly enhance computational efficiency. The performance of the high-order NS-PFEMs is rigorously examined against the standard NS-PFEM, PFEM, FEM-T3, ES-FEM-T3 and the finite element software COMSOL.

However, the highly complex structure of compact heat exchangers results in high costs and large errors in traditional heat exchanger design methods, posing significant challenges to their structural design and performance evaluation. The porous media model effectively reduces computational costs by simplifying the physical model of heat exchanger into a porous media. However, due to its inability to accurately characterize the non-uniform nature of internal fluid flow and heat transfer, it also introduces significant errors in predicting the heat transfer performance. This study introduces a novel three-equation porous media model, which capable of comprehensively capturing the flow and heat transfer processes of external and internal fluids. Using this model, experimental studies and numerical simulations were conducted on performance of the compact microtube bundle precooler. The model results were validated against experimental data, demonstrating high consistency. The results indicated that the three-equation model effectively reduces computational costs and simultaneously accounts for the effects of non-uniform flow distributions, which improving precision by 7.4 % compared to the two-equation model. The non-uniform distribution of the external fluid results in a total pressure recovery coefficient of only 95.9 %, while the non-uniform distribution of the internal fluid reduces the precooler's heat transfer power by 4.1 %. Optimizing geometric parameters and flow conditions can effectively suppress non-uniform fluid flow and enhance heat transfer performance.

To understand and accurately predict the onset and evolution of aerodynamic flame extinction stabilized over flat surface under relatively strong cross airflow, it is indispensable to make clear the heat and mass transfer process within the boundary layer flames from pool fires. This paper investigates gas-phase temperature profiles and flame aerodynamic extinction length evolution of boundary layer flames using burners in different sizes under relatively strong cross airflows. 2D gas-phase temperature profiles along the central plane at the leading edge of the boundary layer flames shift from stable and stratified state to unstable state with large fluctuations with the increased cross airflow speeds due to the onset of the flame aerodynamic extinction. Results showed that flame at the leading edge turns from laminar to turbulent diffusion flame along the streamwise direction. The flame aerodynamic extinction length increases as the fuel velocity or cross airflow speed increases, independent of the burner size. Flame extinction behavior is attributed to the decrease in flow residence time under relatively strong cross airflows, which can be represented by the Damköhler number. A satisfactory correlation is proposed to characterize the flame extinction length based on the local mass transfer and Damköhler number as a function of the fuel velocity and cross airflow speed.
