Numerical simulation and experimental investigation of the effect of three-layer annular coaxial shroud on gas-powder flow in laser cladding (2022)
Journal Article

Laser cladding is a notable metal additive manufacturing (AM). The outstanding benefit of laser cladding is that the cladding process is more flexible and it can be completed in an open environment. However, oxidation phenomenon of active metals such...

Transient CFD modelling of air–water two-phase annular flow characteristics in a small horizontal circular pipe (2022)
Journal Article

The liquid film formed around the inner walls of a small horizontal circular pipe often exhibits non-uniform distributions circumferentially, where the film is thinner at the top surface than the bottom one. Even with this known phenomenon, the probl... Read More about Transient CFD modelling of air–water two-phase annular flow characteristics in a small horizontal circular pipe.
