Twenty years of irrigation acclimation is driven by denser canopies and not by plasticity in twig- and needle-level hydraulics in a Pinus sylvestris forest

Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen, Eugénie Isabelle Mas, Hervé Cochard, Alice Jacqueline Frédérique Gauthey, Alex Tunas Corzon

Climate change is predicted to increase atmospheric vapor pressure deficit, exacerbating soil drought, and thus enhancing tree evaporative demand and mortality. Yet, few studies have addressed the longer-term drought acclimation strategy of trees, particul ...

CFD-based analysis of pumped storage power plants implementing hydraulic short circuit operations

Elena Vagnoni, Alessandro Morabito

Hydraulic short circuit (HSC), corresponding to the simultaneous operation of the pumps and turbines, enhances the power flexibility of a pumped storage power plant (PSPP). However, comprehensive analyses are imperative to guarantee a secure and reliable o ...

Fiber pumps for wearable fluidic systems

Herbert Shea, Michael James Henry Smith, Vito Cacucciolo

Incorporating pressurized fluidic circuits into textiles can enable muscular support, thermoregulation, and haptic feedback in a convenient wearable form factor. However, conventional rigid pumps, with their associated noise and vibration, are unsuitable f ...

Third correction of the Rhône River in Switzerland: physical and numerical modelling of the “Martigny bend” priority measure

Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Stéphanie Joëlle André, Irene Almeida Samora, Pierre Bourqui, Jean-Noël Saugy

The Rhône River, second largest in Switzerland, has already been corrected twice (1863-1893; 1930-1960) to ensure safety and economic development in the Rhône valley. However, in October 2000, the highest flood of the century occurred showing the limitatio ...

Wetting of nanopores probed with pressure

Aleksandra Radenovic, Andrey Chernev, Sanjin Marion, Michal Daniel Macha, Sebastian James Davis

Nanopores are both a tool to study single-molecule biophysics and nanoscale ion transport, but also a promising material for desalination or osmotic power generation. Understanding the physics underlying ion transport through nano-sized pores allows better ...
