Benchmark Of Fluid And Kinetic Simulations Of Type Iii Elming H-Mode On Tcv

Although the most complex currently available fluid-neutral Monte-Carlo plasma boundary code package, SOLPS, has been a major player in the ITER divertor design, it has not yet been systematically used for the study of kinetic phenomena such as ELM transie ...

Impulse waves at Kühtai reservoir generated by avalanches and lindslides

Michael Pfister

The Kühtai reservoir is planned as an addition to the existing Sellrain-Silz group of HPPs. Two natural hazards relevant in terms of potential impulse wave impact on the dam were identified: a snow avalanche near the dam axis and a possible landslide furth ...

Ignition and Combustion Behavior in Solid Propellant Microsystems Using Joule-Effect Igniters

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Volker Gass, David de Koninck

A study of solid propellant ignition and combustion of potassium dinitrobenzofuroxanate in Joule-heating pyrotechnical microelectromechanical systems igniters is carried out using a high-speed framing camera. The effect of igniter geometry, propellant form ...

Realization of a solid-propellant based microthruster using low temperature co-fired ceramics

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Yannick Sébastien Fournier, Jaya Thakur

The introduction of micro-spacecrafts in the space industry has led to the development of various micro-propulsion techniques. Microthrusters are micropropulsion devices used in a microspacecraft for precise station keeping, orbit adjustment, attitude cont ...

Development of MEMS based Electric Propulsion

Herbert Shea

In recent years, there has been a large increase in the number of small satellites being designed, built and launched. Due to resource constraints, these spacecraft have not generally included any propulsion capability, and this has severely limited missio ...

Mass Flux Measurement of Two Phase Dense Spray Using a Coupled Impulse Probe and PDPA Technique

Farzad Vakili Farahani

Mass flux and void fraction measurement in a multiphase dense spray is a challenging task. The Phase Doppler Particle Anemometer (PDPA) cannot provide accurate mass flux measurements in a highly turbulent multiphase spray due to the presence of non-spheric ...

Experimental verification of sawtooth control by energetic particles in ion cyclotron resonance heated JET tokamak plasmas

Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves

Experimental evidence from the JET tokamak is presented supporting the predictions of a recent theory (Graves et al 2009 Phys. Rev. Lett. 102 065005) on sawtooth instability control by toroidally propagating ion cyclotron resonance waves. Novel experimenta ...

High-Gradient Test of a 3 GHz Single-Cell Cavity

Adriano Garonna

Proton and carbon ion beams present advantageous depth-dose distributions with respect to X-rays. Carbon ions allow a better control of "radioresistant" tumours due to their higher biological response. For deep-seated tumours prot ...
