Optimal control and shape optimization techniques have an increasing role in Fluid Dynamics problems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs). In this paper, we consider the problem of drag minimization for a body in relative motion in a fluid by ...
3D images from time-of-flight cameras may suffer from false depth readings caused by light scattering. In order to reduce such scattering artifacts, a scattering compensation procedure is proposed. First, scattering is analysed and expressed as a linear tr ...
When running a fuel cell system in load following mode, several operating points (i.e. a combination of gas flow rates, pressures, humidities, temperatures and current density) can provide the required net power. Typically, only one of those operating poin ...
The aim of this work is to set up mathematical models and numerical methods to investigate the mass transfer process occurring during the peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy. More precisely the final goal is the set up of tools to find for each patient submit ...
The matter of the efficient and parsimonious parameterization of hillslope subsurface flow remains an important issue in catchment hydrological studies (Brutsaert, 1995). Insights into the influence of the shape and hydraulic characteristics of hillslopes ...
Toluene interaction with the catalysts consisting of 0.35, 0.62, 0.75 and 3.7 monolayers (ML) of VOx supported on anatase–titania, containing potassium, was studied by transient response techniques at 523–673 K. FT-Raman spectroscopy under dehydrated condi ...
We investigate in this paper a numerical method to control the temperature of an induction heating process through electric current parameters such as frequency and current voltage imposed to the terminals of the inductor. We seek a sinusoidal voltage func ...
Biased Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations are performed to compute redox potential and free energy curves for the redox half reaction Ag(+)-->Ag(2+)+e(-) in aqueous solution. The potential energy surfaces of reactant and product state are line ...
Brightfield microscopy often suffers from limited depth of field, which prevents thick specimens from being imaged entirely in-focus. By optically sectioning the specimen, the in-focus regions can be acquired over multiple images. Extended depth of field m ...
A novel technique for the recording of large sets of room impulse responses or head-related transfer functions is presented. The technique uses a microphone or a loudspeaker moving with constant speed. Given a setup (e.g. length of the room impulse respons ...
