The investigation of flows in non-circular ducts of various sectional shape is of considerable engineering interest. In this paper, we perform simulations of the turbulent compressible flow in a duct of square cross section with streamwise curvature. The a ...
Calculation of electromagnetic cross sections from surface integral equation simulations, a popular approach in microwave studies and recently also in optics and plasmonics, requires only a single post-processing step, which can, however, be very sensitive ...
A micro pump was integrated into a scanning force microscope probe for circulating liquid through its hollow cantilever and tip. The interior cross section of the cantilever was 2.25 mu m x 3.75 mu m. All fluidic parts were made of SiO2, while the tip apex ...
[1] Fluid flow in deformable porous media is of interest in many areas of hydrology, geophysics, and environmental engineering at scales ranging from individual pore to field scale. With increasing interest in pore-scale hydraulics, there is also the need ...
In this work a quasi-analytical physical model has been developed for the prediction of the potential in SiNW devices with arbitrary polygonal cross section. The model is then extended to the transport direction; a method for the calculation of the natural ...
Streambank erosion hazard mapping has received much less attention than flood inundation mapping in the past due to the complexity of the task as well as bank protection works that have reduced bank erosion and unfortunately, the ecological functions of ou ...
The effect of sizing on bending rigidity in fibre bundles was investigated. Particular attention was paid to the effect of film formers and anti-static agents on the behaviour of glass fibre bundles under forced packing conditions. The bending rigidity of ...
The extraction of planar sections from volume images is the most commonly used technique for inspecting and visualizing anatomic structures. We propose to generalize the concept of planar section to the extraction of curved cross-sections (free form surfac ...

In this work a quasi-analytical physical model for the accurate prediction of the potential of GAA nanowire transistors with an arbitrary regular polygon as a cross section is developed. Two case studies concerning triangular and square cross-sections are ...
The out-of-plane permeability of 25 mm-long chopped glass fibre bundle beds was measured. These bundles, used in sheet moulding compound (SMC) composites, have an elliptical cross-section with the major axis perpendicular to the flow direction. An adapted ...
