Preliminary Study on the Influence of an Air-Bubble Screen on Local Scour around a Bridge Pier

Anton Schleiss, Violaine Dugué, Sylvain Rigaud, Elham Izadinia

Flow interactions with a bridge pier and movable river bed result in local scour which can endanger bridge pier foundations. This scour is initiated by the downward flow and amplified by the so-called horseshoe vortex. A new method to reduce scouring aroun ...

Direct measurement of drainage curves in infiltration of SiC particle preforms: influence of interfacial reactivity

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Maryam Bahraini Hasani

We present dynamic measurement of drainage curves in two systems having relevance to metal matrix composite processing, namely SiC/Al and SiC/Al-12.2at%Si. Data show that liquid/solid chemical reactions that cause a lowering of the contact angle do indeed ...

Towards an optimal antenna for helicon waves excitation

Christoph Hollenstein

Helicon sources are known to produce high-density plasmas and have found many applications. Different types of antenna have been used for helicon excitation but none of them generate a radio-frequency (rf) field that matches the helicon wave field determin ...

Kinetics and mechanism of the reduction of NOx by H2 in oxygen - rich atmospheres on a Pt-Mo-Co / a-Al2O3 catalyst

Albert Renken

The kinetics and the mechanism of the selective reduction of nitric oxides (NOx) by hydrogen is studied on a trimetallic Pt–Mo–Co/a-Al2O3 catalyst under oxidising conditions. This system is interesting in view of an exhaust gas control of power plants or l ...
