Studies of blob formation, propagation and transport mechanisms in basic experimental plasmas (TORPEX and CSDX)

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Stefan Müller

The findings of previous blob studies in the interchange-dominated regime of TORPEX helium (Müller et al 2007 Phys. Plasmas 14 110704) and hydrogen plasmas (Furno et al 2008 Phys. Rev. Lett. 100 055004) are summarized and compared. The onset of blobs is s ...

Importance of centrifugal effects for the internal kink mode stability in toroidally rotating tokamak plasmas

Jonathan Graves

Analytical theory and two different magnetohydrodynamical stability codes are used in a study of the effects of toroidal plasma rotation on the stability of the ideal, internal kink mode in tokamaks. The focus of the paper is on the role that the centrifug ...

One-dimensional analysis of full load draft tube surge

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Christophe Nicolet

One-dimensional stability analysis of a hydraulic system composed of a penstock, a runner and a draft tube was carried out to determine the cause of the full load draft tube surge. It is assumed that the cavity volume at the runner exit is a function of th ...

Polymer nanofibers via nozzle-free centrifugal spinning

Klaus Kern, Marko Burghard, Stephan Rauschenbach, Ralf Thomas Weitz

We report on the unexpected finding of nanoscale fibers with a diameter down to 25 nm that emerge from a polymer solution during a standard spin-coating process. The fiber formation relies upon the Raleigh-Taylor instability of the spin-coated liquid film ...

An experimental study on main flow, secondary flow and turbulence in open-channel bends with emphasis on their interaction with the outer-bank geometry

Alexandre José Pessanha De Oliveira Caimoto Duarte

This research focus on the influence of bank inclination and roughness on the near-bank flow patterns which is relevant for bank protection, bank erosion and design of stable river configuration. Foregoing studies have been carried out mostly in rectangula ...

Fabrication of metallic nanoparticles by electrochemical discharges

Hannes Bleuler, Ashwin Lal

A method for the fabrication of metallic nanoparticles in large quantities by electrochemical discharges is presented. In an aqueous electrolyte, large current density (similar to 1 A/mm(2) at similar to 20 V) leads to the formation of a 'gas film' around ...

Force and torque vectors at the foot generated by surface electrical stimulation of leg muscles

Reymond Clavel, Patrick Métrailler, Carl Schmitt

MotionMakerTM is a robotic system that employs functional electrical stimulation (FES) of leg muscles to allow subjects with complete or partial paralysis of the legs to perform exercises. To achieve the greatest benefit from exercise muscles should do wor ...

Flow and turbulence in sharp open-channel bends

Koen Blanckaert

The sustainable development of rivers requires a knowledge on the three-dimensional mean flow field and the turbulence in complex morphologies. In a future, the computational capacity will be sufficient to simulate numerically the fine details of the flow. ...
