Friction is an atomistic phenomena occurring between sliding surfaces and involves mechanisms influenced by lattice vibrations, asperities, heat fluxes, long range elasticity, plasticity. Thermal transfer is one such process contributing toward the complex ...
Diffusion-limited reactions are commonly found in biochemical processes such as enzyme catalysis, colloid and protein aggregation and binding between different macromolecules in cells. Usually, such reactions are modeled within the Smoluchowski framework b ...
The flow past an axisymmetric body is generically unstable to a steady and a time-periodic global instability, the latter being thought to lead the low-frequency unsteadiness of the wake even at larger Reynolds numbers. The present paper examines how the g ...
Film cooling experiments are commonly performed with Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP). The oxygen sensitive probe molecules allow for measurement of the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness by detecting the concentration of a tracer-gas with different oxygen ...
The radiative transfer framework that underlies all current rendering of volumes is limited to scattering media whose properties are invariant to rotation. Many systems allow for "anisotropic scattering," in the sense that scattered intensity depends on th ...
In this thesis we will deal with the creation of a Reduced Basis (RB) approximation of parametrized Partial Differential Equations (PDE) for three-dimensional problems. The the idea behind RB is to decouple the generation and projection stages (Offline/Onli ...
The next generation of superconducting magnets for the interaction regions of particle colliders, as well as for fast cycled accelerators, will be confronted with large heat loads. In order to improve the evacuation of heat from the Nb-Ti coil towards He-I ...
Horizontal falling film evaporators have the potential of displacing flooded evaporators in industry, due to advantages such as lower required refrigerant charge and lower pressure drop. However, there is a need to improve the understanding of falling film ...
The hydrogen dynamics in solid and in liquid LiBH4 was studied by means of incoherent quasielastic neutron scattering. Rotational jump diffusion of the BH4 - subunits on the picosecond scale was observed in solid LiBH4. The characteristic time constant is ...
The Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) appears to be a device of great interest to efficiently build the electrical grid of tomorrow. With the recent progress made by the superconducting wires manufacturers, there are needs coming from the indust ...
