Orbital-Resolved DFT plus U for Molecules and Solids

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Eric Macke

We present an orbital-resolved extension of the Hubbard U correction to density-functional theory (DFT). Compared to the conventional shell-averaged approach, the prediction of energetic, electronic and structural properties is strongly improved, particula ...

Power performance of a model floating wind turbine subjected to cyclic pitch motion: A wind tunnel study

Fernando Porté Agel, Guiyue Duan, Daniele Gattari

Offshore floating wind turbines (OFWTs) are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to exploit deep-sea wind resources. However, since wind turbines are installed on floaters instead of solid foundations, the dynamic response of an OFWT due to ...

Method for wind harvesting and wind rejection in flying drones

Dario Floreano, Charalampos Vourtsis, Victor Casas Rochel, Nathan Samuel Müller, William John Stewart

The present invention concerns a method of manoeuvring a vertical take-off and landing, unmanned aerial drone (100) comprising at least an aerodynamic surface (101), wherein, during a flight of the drone, the aerodynamic surface generates lift and/or drag ...

Strain-based analysis on the influence of local undercut geometry on fatigue crack initiation life

Alain Nussbaumer, Heikki Tapani Remes, Abinab Niraula

The local undercut defects at the weld toe provide a potential initiation site for fatigue cracks and significantly impact the structure's fatigue strength. The influence of continuous undercut depth on fatigue performance is widely studied, but the resear ...

Modelling of energetic particle drive and damping effects on TAEs in AUG experiment with ECCD

Alexander Karpushov, Giovanni Tardini

The impact of electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD)-driven current on toroidicity-induced Alfven eigenmodes (TAEs) in experiments on the AUG tokamak is investigated numerically. The dynamical evolution of the plasma profiles and equilibria are modelled w ...

Validation and Application of Hysteresis Loss Model for HTS Stacks and Conductors for Fusion Applications

Nikolay Bykovskiy

Numerous conductor designs for pulsed magnets based on High Temperature Superconductors (HTS), featuring stacks of tapes are currently being proposed. A major contribution to the AC losses is expected to be given by hysteresis losses. Several numerical mod ...

Wind Defiant Morphing Drones

Dario Floreano, Charalampos Vourtsis, Victor Casas Rochel, William John Stewart

Intense winds are a challenge for vertical take-off and landing drones with wings. In particular, in the hovering regime, wings are sensitive to wind currents that can be detrimental to their operational and energetic performances. Tail-sitters are particu ...

Multiscale pattern analysis of building replacements in Zurich from 2000 to 2019

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jingxian Ye

Building replacement (BR) – i.e., the demolition of existing structures and subsequent construction of new buildings on the same site – is often understood as a necessary urban planning strategy despite significant environmental implications regarding soli ...

Information-Driven Gas Distribution Mapping for Autonomous Mobile Robots

Alcherio Martinoli, Chiara Ercolani, Faezeh Rahbar

The ability to sense airborne pollutants with mobile robots provides a valuable asset for domains such as industrial safety and environmental monitoring. Oftentimes, this involves detecting how certain gases are spread out in the environment, commonly refe ...
