Physical Mechanism and Flow Control of Tip Vortex Cavitation

Ali Amini

Occurrence of cavitation in hydraulic machines is a challenging issue because it is often accompanied with loss of efficiency, noise emissions, vibrations, and erosion damages. Tip vortices, in particular, are an ideal site for the development of cavitatio ...

Mitigating tip vortex cavitation by a flexible trailing thread

Mohamed Farhat, Ali Amini

Tip Vortex Cavitation (TVC) is a major issue in design and operation of axial hydraulic machines. We investigate the capacity of a flexible trailing thread in alleviating TVC by analyzing the flow-induced motion. For this purpose, a nylon thread with three ...

Linear response to a heat-driven spin torque

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Francesco Antonio Vetrò, Christian Caspers, Lucas Fitoussi

The existence of a heat-driven spin torque is demonstrated using Co/Cu/Co spin valves embedded in metallic nanowires. Heat currents flowing in one direction or its opposite were obtained by heating optically one end or the other of the nanowires. The spin ...

Torque magnetometry study of magnetically ordered state and spin reorientation in the quasi-one-dimensional S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet CuSb2O6

Helmuth Berger

The antiferromagnetically ordered state of the monoclinic quasi-one-dimensional S = 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet CuSb2O6 was studied combining torque magnetometry with a phenomenological approach to magnetic anisotropy. This system is known to have a num ...

Large-Amplitude Spin Dynamics Driven by a THz Pulse in Resonance with an Electromagnon

Christoph Peter Hauri, Paul Beaud

Multiferroics have attracted strong interest for potential applications where electric fields control magnetic order. The ultimate speed of control via magnetoelectric coupling, however, remains largely unexplored. Here, we report an experiment in which we ...

Coating of open cell foams

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Han Zhang

The interior surfaces of three-dimensional open cell foams were coated by a combination of dip coating and spin coating. Glycerol/water solutions were used as model Newtonian liquids, and the coating processes were studied on open cell carbon foams with 10 ...
