The Navier–Stokes equations play a key role in the modeling of blood flows in the vascular sys- tem. The cost for solving the 3D linear system obtained by Finite Element (FE) discretization of the equations, using tetrahedral unstructured meshes and time a ...
Clenet et al. (2011) have developed an adapted version of the Modified Gaussian Model (MGM). The improvements allow the characterization of spectra of olivine-pyroxene(s) mixtures, addressing both modal composition and individual minerals chemical composit ...
Natural and synthetic pyrope-almandine compositions from 38 to 100 mol% almandine (Alm38-Alm100) were studied by synchrotron X-ray diffraction in the laser-heated diamond anvil cell to 177 GPa. Single-phase orthorhombic GdFeO3-type perovskites were synthes ...
Conventional equipment for plasma spraying can be adapted for operation at low pressure so that PECVD-like processing can be performed. The plasma jet generated by the torch is characterized by a high convective velocity and a high gas temperature. The inf ...
Context. To deepen our understanding of the role of small-scale magnetic fields in active regions (ARs) and in the quiet Sun (QS) on the solar irradiance, it is fundamental to investigate the physical processes underlying their continuum brightness. Previo ...
A detailed comparison of results from a numerical three-dimensional hydrostatic lake model with high-resolution observations of the vertical structure of the turbulent bottom boundary layer (BBL) in a medium-size lake (Lake Alpnach, Switzerland) is provide ...
High-porosity dunite channels are important pathways for melt migration in the mantle. To better understand the first order characteristics of the high-porosity melt channel and its associated peridotite lithologies in an upwelling mantle, we conducted hig ...
We introduce a novel sensor scheme combining nano-photonics and nano-fluidics on a single platform through the use of free-standing photonic crystals. By harnessing nano-scale openings, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that both fluidics and ...
Directional solidification experiments on hypoperitectic Cu-Sn alloys have been performed at very low velocity in a high thermal gradient to ensure planar front growth of both phases. The diameter of the sample has been reduced to 500 mu m to strongly redu ...
The association of experimental data showing that the plastic deformation of olivine, the main constituent of the upper mantle, is highly anisotropic and the ubiquitous seismic anisotropy in the upper mantle, which indicates that olivine crystals show cohe ...
