Mock-up Study of the Effect of Wall distance on the Thermal Rating of Power Cables in Ventilated Tunnels

Power transmission through power cables installed in ventilated tunnels is increasingly used worldwide and offers a complex thermal environment. Established correlations currently in use have been deduced from a non-fully developed turbulent flow and …

Fundamental mode of freely decaying laminar swirling flows

A detailed study of a swirling flow in a tube is presented in the first part of the paper. A simplified analytical solution of the governing equations indicates specific modes of the tangential velocity and that the decay of the swirl effect is …
