This paper reports on the development of a two-dimensional, fully nonlinear CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) model with dynamic mesh to analyze the performance of a heave-only floating OWC (oscillating water column) device. The model was validated against previous experimental, analytical and...

Actual operation energy consumption of the high energy efficiency buildings built and operated in China and U.S. has been quite different than expected. This paper compares actual energy consumption to expect high energy efficiency office buildings in U.S. and China. Considering the different...

In order to make better air utilization in combustion chamber to improve the mixture quality, enhance combustion efficiency and reduce emissions, a new swirl chamber combustion system of DI (direct injection) diesel engines is proposed. The in-cylinder spray, mixture formation and combustion...
