“…Dissipation agreed less well. Applying a comparable methodology to the Chacao Channel (Chile), Guerra et al 92 also showed that the regional model FVCOM can suitably predict the strength of turbulence at tidal energy sites. The comparison of the model predictions to ADV measurements showed good agreement in terms of dissipation rate.…”

“…Such sensors can be deployed in various environments such as oceans, rivers or estuaries and for long intervals of time (several months), allowing for an assessment of the flow variability over a wide range of time scales, with a typical sampling frequency of a few hertz. They can be employed for an extensive range of applications and especially for turbulence characterisation [McMillan et al (2016); Guerra et al (2017);Thiébaut et al (2020a)]. Velocity fluctuations derived from ADCP measurements enable the quantification of several characteristics of the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget such as the TKE dissipation and TKE production rate, as well as the diffusive transport term [Thiébaut et al (2020c)].…”

“…With this technique, profiles with two components (out of six) of the Reynolds stress tensor are estimated from along-beam velocity measurements, using the difference between the velocity variances along opposing beams [Lu and Lueck (1999); Stacey et al (1999); Rippeth et al (2003)]. In comparison to 4-beam ADCPs, 5-beam ADCPs allow for a true measurement of vertical velocities and the estimation of five components of the Reynolds stress tensor [Guerra et al (2017)], and reduce wave disturbances [Togneri et al (2017a)].…”

“…Rising energy demands have led to a series of problems, such as increased fossil fuel consumption, depletion of non-renewable resources, environmental pollution problems, and political impacts [1][2][3]. Many scholars have studied clean energy, including wind [4,5], solar [6][7][8], geothermal [9,10], and tidal [11]. The use of batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) [12,13] to replace traditional fossil fuels can effectively reduce the global use of fossil fuels as automotive batteries provided good conversion and storage capabilities.…”

A battery thermal management system (BTMS) ensures that batteries operate efficiently within a suitable temperature range and maintains the temperature uniformity across the battery. A strict requirement of the BTMS is that increases in the battery discharge rate necessitate an increased battery heat dissipation. The advantages of heat pipes (HPs) include a high thermal conductivity, flexibility, and small size, which can be utilized in BTMSs. This paper experimentally examines a BTMS using HPs in combination with an aluminum plate to increase the uniformity in the surface temperature of the battery. The examined system with high discharge rates of 50, 75, and 100 A is used to determine its effects on the system temperature. The results are compared with those for HPs without fins and in ambient conditions. At a 100 A discharge current, the increase in battery temperature using the heat pipe with fins (HPWF) method is 4.8 °C lower than for natural convection, and the maximum temperature difference between the battery surfaces is 1.7 °C and 6.0 °C. The pulse circulation experiment was designed considering that the battery operates with a pulse discharge and temperature hysteresis. The depth of discharge is also considered, and the states-of-charge (SOC) values were 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8. The results of the two heat dissipation methods are compared, and the optimal heat dissipation structure is obtained by analyzing the experimental results. The results show that when the ambient temperature is 37 °C, differences in the SOC do not affect the battery temperature. In addition, the HPWF, HP, and natural convection methods reached stable temperatures of 40.8, 44.3, and the 48.1 °C, respectively the high temperature exceeded the battery operating temperature range.
