Diffusion Foundations and Materials Applications
Volumes
The purpose of this Diffusion Foundations volume is to collect a cross-section of contemporary information about real and computational experiments for mass transport in solid and liquid phases. The authors were selected to provide a rigorous description of their chosen research areas. The main aim of the volume is, therefore, to be useful as a type of guide to both contemporary computational and experimental techniques. Another aim of the volume is to demonstrate that computational experiments can be useful for the design and interpretation of real experiments. We draw special attention to the opening chapter from Prof. Helmut Mehrer and Prof. Graeme Murch which provides a comprehensive overview of the history of solid state diffusion.
This volume presents papers on mathematical modelling of magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer in an electro-conductive polymer, as well as numerical analysis of heat transfer through nanofluid flow in different media, including porous media. Additionally, the study of multi-phase flow in a pipeline has been presented, which can be positively addressed in such key branch as the oil and gas industry. Besides, the volume is devoted to numerical analysis to assess the cooling hole's performance embedded in different trenched designs (triangular trench, semi-cylindrical trench, and corrugated trench) for improving the film cooling efficiency over a flat plate. The presented results might find their application in various areas of engineering.
