Investigating Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG) behavior in varied fluid environments for temperature measurements. Analysis includes secondary effects and liquid metal influence on peak spectrum.

Turbulent heat fluxes (THFs) estimation is of paramount importance in the determination of heat transfer in fluids. Numerical models for low Prandtl number fluids are still unreliable and their experimental evaluation is a challenging task since it requires simultaneous measurement of fast velocity and temperature fluctuations. In nuclear applicati...

A better understanding of the wind-wave direction effect on the wind field and on the momentum transfer at the air-sea interaction will aid in the development of numerical atmospheric and wave models, important for wind energy studies among other applications. So far, the effect of opposed wind-wave directions on the wind field is not fully underst...
