A new technique and results are presented for the estimation of the open loop frequency response of the plasma on TCV. Voltages were applied to poloidal field coils and the resulting plasma current, position and shape related parameters were measured. The ...
Using a mathematical framework originally developed for the development of PML schemes in computational electromagnetics, we develop a set of strongly well-posed PML equations for the absorption of acoustic and vorticity waves in two-dimensional convective ...
A method to evaluate capacitance based on parameter extraction from finite- element analysis as well as a global model for a novel silicon microfabricated accelerometer are presented. Mechanical simulations have been performed and results are coupled with ...
A new heat transfer model for intube flow boiling in horizontal plain tubes is proposed that incorporates the effects of local two-phase flow patterns, flow stratification and partial dryout in annular flow. Significantly, the local peak in the heat transf ...
This paper examines the responses of four different types of shielded conduits to a direct lightning strike. The conduits are buried in the ground and run between two shielded enclosures, one of which is struck by lightning. An induced current flows on the ...
Apart from advection and diffusion/dispersion, other physical and chemical processes can affect the movement of solute through a porous medium. The classical advection-dispersion equation does not usually model adequately the breakthrough curves resulting ...
Sol-gel deposited Pb(Ti,Zr)O-3 thin films have been used to integrate pyroelectric arrays on silicon. The arrays of 1x12 (element size of 600 x 1100 mm(2)) and 1x50 elements (element size of 140 x 1100 mm(2)) are fabricated by standard photolithography tec ...
The analytical modeling and simulation of conservative electrostatic, electromagnetic and electrodynamic transducers found in microsystems using a non-linear lumped-parameter approach is presented in this paper. A comparison is made between this approach a ...
In order to quantify the cooling conditions undergone by an ingot during direct-chill (DC) casting, thermocouples were immersed in the liquid pool and consequently entrapped in the solid, thus monitoring the temperature of the metal during its descent. Ass ...
Shows how numerical solutions of the human cardiovascular system may be devised by coupling models having different physical dimensions. One of the aspects of the circulatory system is its multiscale nature. Local flow features may have a global effect on ...
