Gravity flow water distribution systems (WDSs) are used to permit water flow from an input point of highest elevation (source) to the terminal points of a system (consumers). In such WDSs, typically, there is no need for external power to maintain the fl...

The thermo-structural design of the wing leading edge of hypersonic vehicles is a very challenging task as high gradients in thermal field, and hence high thermal stresses, are expected. Indeed, when employing passive hot structures based thermal protect...
