When lake surface waters above the temperature of maximum density 4◦C cools, the verysurface fluid parcels become denser than their neighbours below. The latter process leads to a gravitationally unstable density distribution which may trigger ‘free convec ...
Urban air quality is a major concern in the context of human health since cities are at the same time emission hot spots and home to a large fraction of the world's population. Airborne imaging spectrometers may be a valuable addition to traditional air po ...
We propose a bianisotropic hybrid metal-dielectric structure comprising dielectric and metallic cylindrical wedges wherein the composite metacylinder enables advanced control of electric, magnetic, and magnetoelectric resonances. We establish a theoretical ...
Heterogeneous materials are used in a wide range of applications involving high heat flux environments such as concentrated solar reactors, high-temperature furnaces, or thermal protection systems of space vehicles. The thermal response of heterogeneous ma ...
A multi-scale numerical methodology for the assessment of radiation and optical characteristics of complex structured soot-contaminated snow layers was investigated first. The methodology accounted for the exact morphology at the various scales and utilize ...
The pre-thermal quench (pre-TQ) dynamics of a pure deuterium ( D 2 ) shattered pellet injection (SPI) into a 3 MA / 7 MJ JET H-mode plasma is studied via 3D non-linear MHD modelling with the JOREK code. The interpretative modelling captures the overall evo ...
A spatially and directionally resolved longwave and shortwave radiant heat transfer model is presented via a series of experiments in a thermal lab to input surface temperatures and geometries, as well as skin temperature readings from a human subject, in ...
Disruption mitigation remains a critical and unresolved issue for ITER. Measurement uncertainties preventing quantification of a system's efficacy remains a significant hurdle in producing and validating a viable disruption mitigation system. This study ad ...
Ultraslow radiative cooling lifetimes and adiabatic detachment energies for three astrochemically relevant anions, Cn- (n = 3-5), are measured using the Double ElectroStatic Ion Ring ExpEriment (DESIREE) infrastructure at Stockholm University. DESIREE main ...
The heat flux across the core-mantle boundary (Q(CMB)) is the key parameter to understand the Earth's thermal history and evolution. Mineralogical constraints of the Q(CMB) require deciphering contributions of the lattice and radiative components to the th ...
