Onset of flooding data at variable pressure in a large diameter tube for air-water and saturated steam-water fluid pairs

An experimental investigation to acquire flooding data for steam-water and air-water fluid pairs in a large-diameter vertical tube at above-atmospheric pressures has been conducted. The experimental program presented herein is the first to use a single test section with controlle...

A versatile microstructure tool for large-scale atomistic simulations

Atomistic simulations of polycrystalline systems require realistic microstructure models with resolved atomic coordinates. This work presents a tool that efficiently creates such models. Besides the construction of conventional Voronoi-based polycrystalline models, the tool inter...
