The coevolution of hydrogen and oxygen during photocatalytic water splitting presents a challenge for efficient product separation. Here, we demonstrate membrane-free, drop-based photocatalytic water splitting with inherent product separation and competiti ...

Hydrodynamic and geometric effects in the sedimentation of model run-and-tumble microswimmers

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

The sedimentation process in an active suspension is the result of the competition between gravity and the autonomous motion of particles. We carry out simulations of run-and-tumble squirmers that move in a fluid medium, focusing on the dependence of the n ...

The main goal of my research is to establish guidelines for workplace design based on human biomechanics: specifically sitting workplaces and handling areas in 1/6G-1/3G (Moon, Mars) conditions. Such a workplace could be used in long-term space missions in ...

A snowfall downscaling scheme for mountainous terrain

Michael Lehning

In mountainous terrain, the spatial and temporal variability of the snow cover is driven by the interaction of meteorological processes with the underlying topography. Typically, terrain-precipitation-wind interactions predominantly shape the spatial snow ...

Force Reduction in a Short-Stroke Vibration Tubular Generator for Vehicle Energy Harvesting Application

Minh Trung Duöng

This paper examines methods to reduce the detent force and electromagnetic force in a short-stroke vibration tubular generator used to harvest energy from a vehicle suspension system but still achieve the design targets of power and power density. A well-k ...

Confined flow of suspensions modelled by a frictional rheology

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Dmitriy Garagash

We investigate in detail the problem of confined pressure-driven laminar flow of neutrally buoyant non-Brownian suspensions using a frictional rheology based on the recent proposal of Boyer et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 107 (18), 2011, 188301). The fricti ...

A data-driven approach to mixed-sensitivity control with application to an active suspension system

Alireza Karimi

In this paper, a data-driven approach is proposed to tune fixed-order controllers for unknown stable LTI plants in a mixed-sensitivity loop-shaping framework. The method requires a single set of input-output samples and it is based on convex optimization t ...

H-Infinity Gain-Scheduled Controller Design for Rejection of Time-Varying Disturbances with Application to an Active Suspension System

Alireza Karimi, Zlatko Emedi

A new method for H-infinity gain-scheduled controller design by convex optimization is proposed that uses only frequency-domain data. The method is based on loop shaping in the Nyquist diagram with constraints on the weighted infinity norm of closed-loop t ...

The dam-break problem for concentrated suspensions of neutrally buoyant particles

Christophe Ancey, Nicolas Andreini, Gaël Epely Chauvin

This paper addresses the dam-break problem for particle suspensions, that is, the flow of a finite volume of suspension released suddenly down an inclined flume. We were concerned with concentrated suspensions made up of neutrally-buoyant non-colloidal par ...
