The present paper describes the coupling of the 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code CFX with the best estimate thermal-hydraulic code TRACE. Two different coupling schemes - one explicit and the other semi-implicit - have been tested. Verification o ...
This thesis focuses on the analysis of the trajectories of a mobile agent. It presents different techniques to acquire a quantitative measure of the difference between two trajectories or two trajectory datasets. A novel approach is presented here, based o ...
The paper describes a robust finite element model of interface motion in media with multiple domains and junctions, as is the case in polycrystalline materials. The adopted level set framework describes each domain (grain) with a single level set function, ...
Travel time is an important network performance measure and it quantifies congestion in a manner easily understood by all transport users. In urban networks, travel time estimation is challenging due to number of reasons such as, fluctuations in traffic fl ...
This paper presents a numerical procedure of material parameter identification for the coupled hydromechanical boundary value problem (BVP) of the self-boring pressuremeter test (SBPT) in clay. First, the neural network (NN) technique is applied to obtain ...
An automated fraction collection interface has been developed for coupling capillary electrophoresis (CE) with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). This fraction collection approach is based on electromigration and diff ...
We present the first optical sensor based on Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) operating in the mid-infrared range. The experimental setup is based on a Kretschmann geometry with Ti/Au layers deposited on a CaF2 prism where light excitation is provided by a ...
Four sets of experimental data (total of 658 data points) for heat transfer to liquid metals (NaK of different compositions and Hg) flowing in a triangular or square lattice of cylindrical rods with pitch-to-diameter ratios of 1.1 up to 1.95 for a wide ran ...
The concept of fracture for material elements at front of a crack for fatigue crack propagation was extended to the fatigue crack propagation of a cracked metallic member reinforced with a composite patch in this paper. From static mechanics and linear ela ...
Background: Speaker detection is an important component of many human-computer interaction applications, like for example, multimedia indexing, or ambient intelligent systems. This work addresses the problem of detecting the current speaker in audio-visual ...
