Mass flux and void fraction measurement in a multiphase dense spray is a challenging task. The Phase Doppler Particle Anemometer (PDPA) cannot provide accurate mass flux measurements in a highly turbulent multiphase spray due to the presence of non-spheric ...
A high-order implicit-explicit additive Rung-Kutta time integrator is implemented in a particle-in-cell method based on a high-order discontinuous Galerkin Maxwell solver for the simulation of plasmas. The method enforces Gauss law by a hyperbolic divergen ...
We present a generalization of the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati scenario to higher codimensions which, unlike previous attempts, is free of ghost instabilities. The 4D propagator is made regular by embedding our visible 3-brane within a 4-brane, each with their ...
A nonlinear model for single-phase fluid flow in slightly compressible porous media is presented and solved approximately. The model assumes state equations for density, porosity, viscosity and permeability that are exponential functions of the fluid (eith ...
A Hamiltonian formulation of the relativistic guiding center drifts is extended to anisotropic pressure plasmas. The magnetic coordinates devised by Boozer are adapted to the anisotropic pressure model and retain canonical properties for two-dimensional an ...
We present the fabrication and test results of a novel inertial sensor for use onboard satellites, to obtain the Earth vector. Current state-of-the-art Earth sensors determine the Earth vector by imaging the Earth's horizon in the IR. This requires multipl ...
The accuracy of large-eddy simulations (LESs) of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) over complex terrain relies on the ability of the subgrid-scale (SGS) models to capture the effect of subgrid turbulent fluxes on the resolved fields of velocity and scal ...
Improvement in the performance of magnetic confinement devices for nuclear fusion relies on the optimization of the geometry of the plasma: either the two-dimensional (2D) cross-section shape in tokamaks with toroidal symmetry or the 3D magnetic configurat ...
The study showed that the presence of an inverse square law relation for the distribution of the sizes of communities and species does not mark any significance organization within the system under consideration. It was shown that it rather was an inevitab ...
This paper presents an innovative off-road wheeled mobile robot, named Octopus, able to deal autonomously with obstacles in rough terrain without getting stuck. To achieve such a performance, the robot is equipped with tilt sensors and tactile wheels. The ...
