Abstract: Abstract In this work, non-modal stability theory is used to study the non-linear dynamics of the Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR), using a zero-dimensional model. Usually, stability analysis for nuclear reactors is performed using modal methods.… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Laminar flows through pipes driven at steady, pulsatile or oscillatory rates undergo a subcritical transition to turbulence. We carry out an extensive linear non-modal stability analysis of these flows and show that for sufficiently… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/fluids6010037
Abstract: A non-modal transient disturbances growth in a stably stratified mixing layer flow is studied numerically. The model accounts for a density gradient within a shear region, implying a heavier layer at the bottom. Numerical analysis… read more here.
