    Finite-element thermal analysis of flows on moving domains with application to modeling of a hydraulic arresting gear

    In this paper, we develop a finite-element framework of simulating the heat transfer of flows on moving domains. A stabilized formulation is utilized to discretize the heat equation posed on an arbitrary Lagra...
