Numerical Analysis of Apparatus-Induced Dispersion for Density-Dependent Solute Transport in Porous Media

The effects of apparatus-induced dispersion on nonuniform, density-dependent flow in a cylindrical soil column were investigated using a finite-element model. To validate the model, the results with an analytical solution and laboratory column test data we ...

Cavitation bubble dynamics and microjet atomization near tissue-mimicking materials

Mohamed Farhat, Davide Bernardo Preso, Armand Baptiste Sieber

In recent years, considerable interest has been devoted to the interactions between cavitation bubbles and tissue-mimicking materials due to their promising applications in medicine and biomedical sciences. The strong fluid-structure interaction between a ...

Control of intermetallics in the interface in directed energy deposition of titanium on stainless steel 316L

Di Cui

Application of a single metal or alloy is often restricted by its properties from optimal combination of performance and cost. Therefore, there is a vast need of joining dissimilar metals for various applications in biomedical, aerospace, automobile and ma ...

Laser-Induced Forward Transfer of Functional Microdevices

Zhiwei Yang

Laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) technique is an emerging micro additive manufacturing (AM) technique that has been widely used to print a variety of materials. Distinguished from other nozzle-based AM techniques, LIFT operates without the existence o ...

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of a 34 Watt Radial-Inflow Steam Turbine with Partial-Admission

Jan Van Herle, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Patrick Hubert Wagner

A micro steam turbine with a tip diameter of 15mm was designed and experimentally characterized. At the nominal mass flow rate and total-to-total pressure ratio of 2.3 kgh-1 and 2, respectively, the turbine yields a power of 34W and a total-to-static isent ...

Two-fluid plasma model for radial Langmuir probes as a converging nozzle with sonic choked flow, and sonic passage to supersonic flow

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne

Using the Lambert function, Guittienne et al. [Phys. Plasmas 25, 093519 (2018)] derived two-fluid solutions for radial Langmuir probes in collisionless and isothermal plasma. In this Brief Communication, we point out the close analogy with classical compre ...

Comparative study between Cubic and Ellipsoidal Fokker-Planck kinetic models

Mohammadhossein Gorji

Motivated by improving the performance of particle-based Monte-Carlo simulations in the transitional regime, Fokker–Planck kinetic models have been devised and studied as approximations of the Boltzmann collision operator. By generalizing the linear drift ...

Rapid Production of Submicron Drug Substance Particles by Supersonic Spray Drying

Esther Amstad

Many newly developed active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are poorly soluble in water and thus have a dissolution-limited bioavailability. The bioavailability of Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) class II APIs increases if they dissolve fas ...

A Continuation Multi Level Monte Carlo (C-MLMC) method for uncertainty quantification in compressible inviscid aerodynamics

Fabio Nobile, Pénélope Leyland, Michele Pisaroni

In this work we apply the Continuation Multi-Level Monte Carlo (C-MLMC) algorithm proposed in Collier et al. (2014) to efficiently propagate operating and geometric uncertainties in inviscid compressible aerodynamics numerical simulations. The key idea of ...
