3-D flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluids
Burgos, Gilmer R.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (ASME, 1998)The flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluids through a sudden 3-D square with expansion height ratio of 2:1 is studied numerically by solving the mass and momentum conservation equations along with a continuous constitutive relation. ...

An analysis of laminar fluid flow in porous tube and shell systems
Pangrle, B. J.; Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Dixon, A. G.; Dibiasio, D. (1991)The finite element method was used to study steady, incompressible, laminar flow in porous tube systems. The Navier-Stokes equations were used to describe the flow phenomena in the tube and shell space while the continuum ...

Breakup of a capillary bridge of suspensions
Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Bazilevskii, A. V.; Entov, V. M.; Rozhkov, A. N.; Sharaf, A. (2010)The breakup of liquid bridges under the action of capillary forces is used for studying the rheology of suspensions under stretching. The experiments were performed with suspensions of finegrained (3-30 μm) sand in glycerin ...

Cessation of the lid-driven cavity flow of Newtonian and Bingham fluids
Syrakos, A.; Georgiou, Georgios C.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (2016)We provide benchmark results for a transient variant of the lid-driven cavity problem, where the lid motion is suddenly stopped and the flow is left to decay under the action of viscosity. Results include Newtonian as well ...

Compression molding of semi-concentrated fiber suspensions: Flow and fiber orientation
Ahmed, Alauddin; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (Publ by ASME, 1993)The focus of this paper is compression molding of semi-concentrated fiber suspensions. During compression molding a premeasured amount of raw material (charge) is placed between two halves of a die. The die is then closed ...

Compression molding using a generalized eulerian–lagrangian formulation with automatic remeshing
Ahmed, A.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (1992)A generalized Eulerian‐Lagrangian approach is used to study the compression molding of viscoelastic polymers. The complete, unsteady, two‐dimensional equations of motion are used in the analysis. The White–Metzner model ...

Design and modeling of 1-10 MWe liquefied natural gas-fueled combined cooling, heating and power plants for building applications
Arsalis, A.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (2015)Decentralized, liquefied natural gas-fueled, trigeneration plants are considered as alternatives to centralized, electricity-only generating power plants to improve efficiency and minimize running costs. The proposed system ...

Determination of the rheological parameters of self-compacting concrete matrix using slump flow test
Neophytou, Marina K. A.; Pourgouri, Stella; Kanellopoulos, Antonios D.; Petrou, Michael F.; Ioannou, Ioannis; Georgiou, Georgios C.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (2010)The classification of a concrete mixture as self-compacting (SCC) is performed by a series of empirical characterization tests that have been designed to assess not only the flowability of the mixture but also its segregation ...

Determining true material constants of semisolid slurries from rotational rheometer data
Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Georgiou, Georgios C.; Economides, Eva Athena; Modigell, M. (2016)In this work we revisit the issue of obtaining true material constants for semisolid slurries. Therefore, we consider the circular Couette flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluids. We first show how true constants can be obtained ...

Determining true material constants of viscoplastic materials from rotational rheometer data
Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Georgiou, Georgios C.; Economides, Eva-Athena; Zang, Christoph; Modigell, Michael (2018)We analyse the circular Couette flow of Herschel–Bulkley fluids to investigate the validity of the assumption that the rate of strain distributions across the gap share a common point. It is demonstrated that this is true ...

Effects of periodic gravity modulation in microgravity convection systems
Cyr, Martha N.; Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Olinger, D. J. (Publ by ASME, 1993)Natural convection in an enclosure that is subjected to periodic excitations is investigated using a classical mixed Galerkin finite element method. The modulation is incorporated in the momentum equations, through a ...
