Local Heat Transfer Distributions of Small Impingement Configurations: A Detailed Experimental Procedure Using Transient Heat Transfer Methods

Peter Ott, Alexandros Terzis, Bernhard Weigand

Impingement cooling is widely used in the cooling of turbine airfoils at critical regions where high heat transfer rates are required due to the large local convection coefficients that can be achieved. An accurate determination of local heat transfer dist ...

Equilibrium and stability with m=0 magnetic islands

Laurent Villard, Andrei Martynov

Axially symmetric m = 0 magnetic islands are studied in a cylindrical plasma with longitudinal magnetic field reversal. Applying 2D deformation on the equilibrium plasma boundary results in the breaking of magnetic surfaces topology into chain of islands. ...

On inkjet-printed flexible capacitive micro gas sensors: towards digital fabrication

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Francisco Molina Lopez

This work presents the evolution of inkjet-printed capacitive micro gas sensors through the development of three different consecutive generations, moving on from planar interdigitated electrodes (IDE) to parallel plates structures. The sensors are compose ...

Pore fluid in experimental calcite-bearing faults: Abrupt weakening and geochemical signature of co-seismic processes

Marie Estelle Solange Violay

While it is widely recognized that fluids influence fault strength and earthquake nucleation, propagation and arrest, their effects on co-seismic sliding friction are only conjectured. To shed light on these effects, 55 high velocity (>1ms-1) friction e ...

Deployment of a dynamic penetrometer from manned submersibles for fine-scale geomorphology studies

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Nicolas Le Dantec

Dynamic penetrometers reveal information about seafloor strength, stratification, stability, and sediment remobilization. However, positioning is often limited to a range of meters making it difficult to target small-scale geomorphologic features. Deployme ...

Experimental and numerical investigation of narrow impingement cooling channels

Peter Ott, Alexandros Terzis, Bernhard Weigand

Impingement cooling effectiveness of gas turbine vanes and blades can be further increased due to the manufacturing feasibility of integrally cast airfoils which can provide narrow impingement cooling cavities. This study examines experimentally using the ...

Residual Stress Analysis in AA7449 As-Quenched Thick Plates Using Neutrons and Fe Modelling

Jean-Marie Drezet, Nicolas Paul Henry Chobaut, Denis Carron

In the current trend toward thicker aluminium plates, a major concern is the generation of high internal stresses during quenching, which can cause distortions during machining and pose serious safety concerns. Although the material is stretched after quen ...

Relative influence of mechanical and meteorological factors on avalanche release depth distributions: An application to French Alps

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume

The evaluation of avalanche release depth distributions represents a major challenge for hazard management. This paper presents a rigorous formalism in which these distributions are expressed through a coupling of mechanical and meteorological factors. Con ...
