A Comparative Study of Transverse Cylindrical Projection Functions by A Series of Numerical Simulations

A comparative study of the yearly performance of multistage solar collector systems, (comprised of more than one collector type) with a single on/off flow control strategy for all the collectors and separate on/off controls for each collector stage, is performed. Detailed numerical simulations under a range of climatic conditions showed that there is little advantage in using individual collector controls over a single on/off control strategy when the systems operate at low collector thresholds, but differences in system performance can be quite significant at high threshold values. In addition, the choice of the single control strategy (i.e., which collector the strategy is based on) at low thresholds is not critical in terms of system performance.

Flare Slamming

A comparative study of two different mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian methods is presented. Representative numerical simulations of oscillatory flare-slamming flows are given. Computations based on these two different numerical schemes, i.e., a desingularized method using Rankine ring sources and a source-doublet panel method (e.g., USAERO/FSP©), are compared with experiments. Fourier coefficients of the simulated time histories and experimentally measured forces are given for detailed error comparisons. The numerical simulations demonstrate the ranges of applicability of these two methods. Both are shown to be efficient and robust time-stepping schemes for the fully nonlinear free-surface problem studied here.
