Numerical Simulations of Pulsating Heat Pipes, Part 1: Modeling

John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen, Philippe Aubin, Raffaele Luca Amalfi, Filippo Cataldo, Brian Paul D'Entremont

The pulsating nature of a closed loop pulsating heat pipe (CLPHP) makes the prediction of its thermal-hydraulic performance extremely challenging. Unfortunately, the design of CLPHPs is still quite an empirical process, requiring testing of many prototypes ...

Collapse phenomena of deformed cavitation bubbles

Outi Supponen

Cavitation bubbles are a topic of long-standing interest owing to the powerful phenomena associated with their collapse. Their unique ability to focus energy typically causes damage in hydraulic machinery (turbines, pumps, propellers, ...) but, if managed ...

Subsurface ablation of tissue by ultrafast laser

Thomas Jean Victor Marie Lanvin

Laser-induced optical breakdown (LIOB) is a multiphoton process which can be used for selective removal of material. It revolves around the creation of a plasma in the focal volume of a beam, and requires very high peak intensities in the order of the GW.c ...

An octree-based adaptive semi-Lagrangian free surface flow solver

Viljami Henrikki Laurmaa

A numerical method based on an adaptive octree space discretization for the simulation of 3D free-surface fluid flows is proposed. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved with a time-splitting scheme, which decouples advection from diffusion/incompressibili ...

Continuous-flow electrical lysis device with integrated control by dielectrophoretic cell sorting

Philippe Renaud, Niccolo Piacentini, Thomas Michael Braschler, Nicolas Demierre

We present a device capable of electrical cell lysis and evaluation of lysis efficiency in continuous flow using dielectrophoretic cell sorting. We use a combination of AC electrical fields and so-called liquid electrodes to avoid bubble creation at the el ...

Influence of the stress field due to pressurized nanometric He bubbles on the mobility of an edge dislocation in iron

Robin Schäublin, Seyed Masood Hafez Haghighat

Voids and He bubbles are strong obstacles to dislocation, which induce hardening and loss of ductility. In Fe, molecular dynamics simulation is used to investigate the basic mechanisms of the interaction between a moving edge dislocation and a void or He b ...
