Thermal effects on turbulent flow and dispersion in and above an idealized street canyon with a street aspect ratio of 1 are numerically investigated using the parallelized large-eddy simulation model (“PALM”). Each of ...

Large scale laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors (GWDs), such as GEO 600 require high quality optics to reach their design sensitivity. The inevitable surface imperfections, inhomogeneities, and light-absorption ...

The paper presents the results of a simulation study, in which the connection of heat pumps and buffer storage tanks has been investigated. The simulations are carried out for a new type of a solar thermal combi system ...

Heat pumps have a significant and increasing share in the European heating market. In most applications heat pumps are operated with a storage tank, either for domestic hot water or for the space heating circuit. The design ...
