.... Both models show the transition between nonthermal (ballistic) and thermal (ballistic-diffusive) regimes. Furthermore, because the new model considers the discrete character of the lattice, it highlights some new phenomena, such as damped oscillations, in the energy transport both in time and in space...

...S. M. Thompson; H. B. Ma; R. A. Winholtz; C. Wilson An experimental investigation on the effects of condenser temperatures, heating modes, and heat inputs on a miniature three-dimensional (3D) flat-plate oscillating heat pipe (FP-OHP) was conducted visually and thermally. The 3D FP-OHP was charged...

... time, and reactor wall temperatures as variables. An analytic model was developed using an eigenvalue analysis to determine the nature and stability of these oscillations. Both numerical and analytical studies suggest that combustion oscillations occur at the extinction turning point of the hysteresis...
