The European GO-VIKING project on flow-induced vibrations: overview and current status Open
The interaction between cooling fluid and solid structures (rods, tubes) in nuclear power plants may lead to flow-induced vibrations (FIV), causing material fatigue, fretting wear, and eventually loss of component integrity. This can cause…

Air Ejector Analysis in Extended Operational Perimeter for Control Oriented Simulation of Bleed-Air Aircraft Systems Open
The integration of large size Ultra High Bypass Ratio (UHBR) engines introduces new restrictions of space for their integration with the aircraft wing. Under this scenario, a reduction of the size of the bleed air system and particularly o…

A 0D APPROACH FOR EXTENDED OPERATIONAL MODELING OF AIR EJECTORS IN THERMAL SYSTEMS Open
Classic ejector models work accurately only in normal operating conditions, i.e. when the primary flow is in supercritical conditions. Moreover, they do not take into account abnormal situations, such as when the primary flow is subsonic o…

CALIBRATION OF A 1D EJECTOR MODEL FROM FULL-SCALE EXPERIMENTS Open
We present the calibration of a 1D ejector model on experimental data from a large-scale ejector facility at the von Karman Institute. The facility allows for adjusting the inlet pressures (with pressure ratios up to 5) and temperatures (w…
