Calcarenite as a possible host rock for CO2 sequestration

Roman Makhnenko

Deep saline aquifers have a great potential for geologic carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration and proper assessment of host and cap rock is needed to guarantee that the procedure is safe. Temperatures and pressures at which most of the possible host rocks ex ...

Elasto-Dynamic Behavior Of A 2D Square Lattice With Entrained Fluid

Alessandro Spadoni

Numerical investigation of wave propagation in a cellular solid with closed cells configuration and entrained fluid showed an existence of two types of pressure waves, which have opposite polarization and have different phase and group velocities. This is ...

Surface wave dynamics in orbital shaken cylindrical containers

Florian Maria Wurm, Mohamed Farhat, Danail Obreschkow, Matthieu Dreyer, Stéphanie Tissot, Martino Reclari

Be it to aerate a glass of wine before tasting, to accelerate a chemical reaction, or to cultivate cells in suspension, the “swirling” (or orbital shaking) of a container ensures good mixing and gas exchange in an efficient and simple way. Despite being us ...

Cloaking and invisibility: A review

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

Invisibility has been a tantalizing concept for mankind over several centuries. With recent developments in metamaterial science and nanotechnology, the possibility of cloaking objects to incoming electromagnetic radiation has been escaping the realm of sc ...

Electrophysiological Correlates of Visual Crowding

Michael Herzog, Gijs Plomp, Vitaly Chicherov

Introduction: Flankers can strongly deteriorate performance on a visual target (crowding). For example, vernier offset discrimination is strongly affected by neighboring flankers. Interestingly, performance for longer and shorter flankers is better than pe ...

Damage pattern and damage progression on breakwater roundheads under multidirectional waves

Francesco Comola, Lorenzo Martinelli

An experimental model test study is carried out to investigate damage pattern and progression on a rock armoured breakwater roundhead subjected to multidirectional waves. Concerning damage pattern, the most critical sector is observed to shift leeward with ...

Terahertz magnetic modulator based on magnetically clustered nanoparticles

Christoph Peter Hauri, Mostafa Shalaby

Random orientation of liquid-suspended magnetic nanoparticles (Ferrofluids) gives rise to a zero net magnetic orientation. An external magnetic field tends to align these nanoparticles into clusters, leading to a strong linear dichroism on a propagating wa ...

Sedimentation of reservoirs

Anton Schleiss

S waves are seismic body waves meaning they travel through the Earth's interior. Their velocity is slower thant that of P waves, and they are normally the second major phase to be observed on a seismorgram, and are therefore also referred to as secondary w ...

The role of Rayleigh Waves in Granular Solids

Alessandro Spadoni, Bart Van Damme

Wave propagation in granular solids is found to have at least two regimes: a low-frequency ballistic signal and a high-frequency diffusive tail. The latter is attributed to granules clapping or elastic waves within the granules themselves. The low frequenc ...
