{"title":"BOOK REVIEW: ROTATING THERMAL FLOWS IN NATURAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES","authors":"J. Reizes","doi":"10.1615/COMPUTTHERMALSCIEN.2014010121","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1615/COMPUTTHERMALSCIEN.2014010121","url":null,"abstract":"As with Lappa’s earlier book, “Thermal Convection: Patterns, Evolution and Stability” (Wiley, 2010), this book is not about heat transfer. The focus of the book is about the fluid mechanics of flows in rotating systems in which thermal gradients are present. Again, similar to the previous volume, the emphasis is on the physics and the mathematical treatments of such flows; in particular the stability of these flows. There is therefore no discussion of either numerical or experimental procedures. The results of computational simulations and complex experiments are used to illustrate and develop the ideas being discussed. This book is hardly an introduction to thermal flows in rotating systems and is not designed for a novice in the subject. Rather, it is a voyage through the physics of a myriad of wonders which occur in such situations. In fact, one can almost imagine the author exclaim as he writes, as is attested by his comment “The incredible richness of convective modes”—and this is only about RayleighBenard convection with rotation. The range of scales presented is truly prodigious— from giant gas planets and atmospheric phenomena to crystal growth. The amount of material presented is therefore quite large, so to keep the manuscript to a reasonable length, it seems to me that the author has had to condense the explanations to the bare minimum. As a consequence it makes for difficult reading. Should the reader put the book down for a few days before resuming reading, the lack of a nomenclature and the use of the same symbol for a number of variables as well as the use of many acronyms make it even more difficult to read. The first chapter, entitled “Equations, General Concepts and Nondimensional Numbers,” lays the foundation for the remainder of the book. The remaining chapters are entitled: Rayleigh-Benard Convection with Rotation; Spherical Shells, Rossby Waves and Centrifugally Driven Thermal Convection; The Baroclinic Problem; The Quasi-Geostrophic Problem; Planetary Patterns; Surface Tension Driven Flows in Rotating Fluids; Crystal Growth from the Melt and Rotating Machinery; Rotating Magnetic Fields; and Angular Vibrations and Rocking Motion. The main emphasis of the book is on the stability of the flows with the last three chapters directed more to applications. The coverage, albeit briefly presented at times, is generally very extensive as the 37 pages of references clearly confirm. There is so much in the book that it is impossible to discuss any one topic in particular, so I will confine myself to a couple of remarks about fundamentals. The author deplores the fact that because he had to restrict the length of the book, a “cross-link between macroand micro-scales” has not been presented so that “the Navier-Stokes and energy equations are presented directly.” This is not an elementary textbook and would, I expect, be intended for research students and researchers, and I see no need for such a development in the pages of this book, par","PeriodicalId":45052,"journal":{"name":"Computational Thermal Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1615/COMPUTTHERMALSCIEN.2014010121","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67420190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the significance of existing knowledge and the “shock of the old” (Edgerton, 2006) in the first case must never be underestimated, it is the latter case that inspires this special section of the journal, which focuses on emerging scientific insights into coupled heat and mass transfer in selected different technological contexts.

However, to the authors' knowledge, this problem was never studied for supercritical fluids. The objective of this paper is to study the influence of the specific properties of such fluids on thermoconvective instability phenomena compared with those observed in the perfect gas case. The effect of the distance to the critical point is also investigated. The numerical approach used is based on the Navier-Stokes equations in the framework of the low Mach number approximation.","PeriodicalId":45052,"journal":{"name":"Computational Thermal Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2013-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67419436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A better understanding of this phenomenon is required. This study presents a general modelling framework based either on the level-set approach or the concentration approach for modelling asphaltene deposition processes. Both the level-set method and the total concentration approach belong to the family of front capturing methods. Therefore, the dynamics of the depositing front can be captured implicitly on fixed mesh. The presented frameworks are validated against each other for general deposition process. Preliminary parametric studies are then performed to study the influences of various factors on the deposition process.","PeriodicalId":45052,"journal":{"name":"Computational Thermal Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2013-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67419731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
