Beyond undulation! Body morphology and sensing components of elongated animals and robots reveal skills to maintain competent locomotion

Laura Isabel Paez Coy

Locomotion is an essential evolutive innovation of living beings that allows them to colonize and dominate the planet. As diverse as animal morphologies are (living) and were (extinct), their locomotion modalities are also diverse. In particular, animal mo ...

Four-dimensional drift-kinetic model for scrape-off layer plasmas

Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge

A four-dimensional plasma model able to describe the scrape-off layer region of tokamak devices at arbitrary collisionality is derived in the drift-reduced limit. The basis of the model is provided by a drift-kinetic equation that retains the full nonlinea ...

Thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of energy tunnels

Matthias Timothee Stanislas Wojnarowicz

Subsurface geothermal in combination with Ground Heat Exchanger (GHE) and heat pumps systems had proved over the past decade to be an effective way in space heating and cooling. GHE’s embedded in geostructures such as tunnels has become more and more attra ...

A gyrokinetic model for the plasma periphery of fusion devices

Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge, Baptiste Jimmy Frei

Understanding the turbulent dynamics of the plasma in the periphery of fusion devices - the region extending from the external part of the closed flux surface region to the scrape-off layer - is of crucial importance on the way to fusion energy. Indeed, th ...

Earth-like planets, dark energy and variability of fundamental physical constants can be discovered by observing wavelength shifts in the optical spectra of astronomical objects(1-5). These wavelength shifts are so tiny that exquisitely accurate and precis ...

Doppler-Based Acoustic Gyrator

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Farzad Zangeneh Nejad

Non-reciprocal phase shifters have been attracting a great deal of attention due to their important applications in filtering, isolation, modulation, and mode locking. Here, we demonstrate a non-reciprocal acoustic phase shifter using a simple acoustic wav ...

Assessment of RANS turbulence models in urban environments: CFD simulation of airflow around idealized high-rise morphologies.

Fernando Porté Agel, Farshid Kardan, Olivier Baverel

This study presents the evaluation of Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) turbulence models, including the RNG k − ε, SST k − ω and more recently developed SST γ − Reθ models of flow past an idealized three-dimensional urban canopy. For validation purpo ...

A thorough experimental characterization of a multiplexing backend with multiple energy analysis on a cold-neutron triple axis spectrometer (cTAS) is presented. The prototype employs two angular segments (2 theta-segments) each containing five vertically s ...

Multi-segment analysis of spinal kinematics during sit-to-stand in patients with chronic low back pain

Julien Favre, Thomas Legrand, Guillaume Christe

While alterations in spinal kinematics have been frequently reported in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), a better characterization of the kinematics during functional activities is needed to improve our understanding and therapeutic solutions fo ...
