Assessment of fuel cell studies with particle image velocimetry applications: A key review

On the Mechanism of Turbulent Heat Transfer in Composite Porous-Fluid Systems with Finite Length Porous Blocks: Effect of Porosity and Reynolds Number

“…An extensive range of man-made technologies and natural phenomenon involves flow and heat transfer over composite porous-fluid systems, which consist of a fluid-saturated porous medium and a flow passing over it. Examples are: Flows in fuel cells [1][2][3], packed bed energy storage systems [4][5][6][7][8], battery thermal management [9][10][11], cooling in the gas turbine [12][13][14], metal foam heat sinks for electronic cooling [15,16]. In these applications, the porous block allows mass, momentum, and energy exchange between porous and non-porous regions.…”

LearnPIV: An Interactive, Web-Based Learning Tool for Particle Image Velocimetry Basics

“…Examples include research on flow over aircraft [7], animals [8], and cars [9]. More recent application of PIV within novel fluid dynamics contexts includes hemodynamics in the Carotid Artery [10], fuel cell design [11], and breath flows relating to COVID-19 transmission [12]. Further, PIV based techniques are now used within non-traditional fluid dynamics contexts, to include estimating insect traffic [13], identifying soil-pile interactions [14], and tracking the movement of geophysical flows such as avalanches [15].…”
