This study investigates the interaction between the human convective boundary layer (CBL) and uniform airflow with different velocity and from different directions. Human body is resembled by a thermal manikin with complex body shape and surface temperatur ...
Turbulent-laminar banded patterns in plane Poiseuille flow are studied via direct numerical simulations in a tilted and translating computational domain using a parallel version of the pseudospectral code Channelflow. 3D visualizations via the streamwise v ...
The destructive power of an avalanche depends, among other things, on the overall mass and the snow conditions in the avalanche path. So far, the knowledge on the effect of snow conditions on avalanche behavior is limited and largely qualitative. We invest ...
In the last three decades the design of stepped spillways regained some interest because of their suitability with new construction methods including gabion placement. In this study, the hydraulic performances of gabion stepped weirs were investigated expe ...
In the last decades the design of stepped spillways regained some interest because of their suitability with new construction methods including gabions. The hydraulic performances of gabion stepped weirs were investigated experimentally in terms of the flo ...
In this thesis we consider a fully coupled model which aims at reproducing some qualitative features of the electro-mechanical activity of the heart. The models used to describe both the electrical and mechanical activities are relatively simple. However, ...
Gravity currents produced by full-depth lock-release of saline water into a fresh water tank are studied focusing on the influence of the initial density of the saline mixture in the lock and the bed roughness on gravity current kinematics. Temporal evolut ...
We introduce the acoustic equivalent of “supercoupling” by studying the anomalous sound transmission and uniform energy squeezing through ultranarrow acoustic channels filled with zero-density metamaterials. As a realistic example, we propose their realiza ...
The determination of polar organic contaminants (pesticides, pharmaceuticals and inhibitors of corrosion) in river water was carried out using POCIS as a passive sampling technique and UPLC-MS/MS as a determination technique. Several compounds with propert ...
Spin dynamics controlled by magnetoelastic coupling and applied electric fields might play a vital role in future developments of magnonics, i.e., the exploitation of spin waves for the transmission and processing of information. We have performed broadban ...
