Achieving efficient scalable parallel rendering for interactive visualization applications on medium-sized graphics clusters remains a challenging problem. Framerates of up to 60hz require a carefully designed and fine-tuned parallel rendering implementation ...
The evaluation of avalanche release depth distributions represents a major challenge for hazard management. This paper presents a rigorous formalism in which these distributions are expressed through a coupling of mechanical and meteorological factors. Con ...
This talk provides an overview of the current research projects at LIPID and the necessity for performance-integrated design in today’s urge for energy-efficient, human-responsive living spaces. Within the overall framework of promoting linkages between th ...
For falling film evaporation, the most important thermal design parameters that need to be predicted are the onset of dryout, after which a severe degradation in the evaporator performance is found, and the local heat transfer performance in fully wet and ...
A novel visualization method was developed and implemented in a refrigerant-flooded evaporator tube bundle. Specifically, a method to visualize the two-phase flow inside plain tube bundles was developed using a dummy tube with a tubular glass section for v ...
Rainfall is poorly modeled by general circulation models (GCMs) and requires appropriate downscaling for local-scale hydrological impact studies. Such downscaling methods should be robust and accurate (to handle, e.g., extreme events and uncertainties), bu ...
We present an experimental method to study field structures of highly confined light after interaction with microstructures. A high-resolution interference microscope (HRIM) allows us to measure the three-dimensional (3D) amplitude and phase distributions ...

Visualization tools can facilitate access to complex spatial phenomenon. This access is what the application to be presented aims at. As a case study to such a complex phenomenon, the addressed question is that of the commuters' space of the Swiss federal ...
This paper sheds light on some of the graphical methods used by Robert Maillart to design the Salginatobel Bridge, a three-hinged concrete structure spanning 90 meters. Built in 1929, this masterpiece has since received extensive recognition both for its s ...
This thesis is focused on a combined microscopy technique: energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) is extended to a three dimensional (3D) microanalysis using a so-called "dual-beam microscope": a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with a focused ion ...
