Preliminary Design of a High Current R&W TF Coil Conductor for the EU DEMO

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Federica Demattè

Paschen failures in ITER, W7-X and JT60 superconducting coils at the acceptance tests have shown that it is highly desirable to lower the coil discharge voltage (U-d) of the DEMO Toroidal Field (TF) coils. Another benefit of lowering the U-d might be the r ...

Cartesian robot gripper

The purpose of this semester project is to move in 3D space the gripper to grab an object, move it and release it. To do so a cartesian 3D printer will be used to move the gripper. Some modifications needs to be done in order to install the gripper at the ...

Modeling Compact Intracloud Discharge (CID) as a Streamer Burst

Marcos Rubinstein

Narrow Bipolar Pulses are generated by bursts of electrical activity in the cloud and these are referred to as Compact Intracloud Discharges (CID) or Narrow Bipolar Events in the current literature. These discharges usually occur in isolation without much ...

The Upper Bound of the Speed of Propagation of Waves along a Transmission Line

Marcos Rubinstein

According to theory, once certain conditions are fulfilled, current and voltage pulses propagate along ideal transmission lines with the speed of light. One can reach such a conclusion only when the conductors are assumed to be perfectly conducting, which ...

High-Current Low-Voltage Power Supply for Superconducting Magnets

Émilien Luc Henri Coulinge

In the wide range of applications for power supplies, the ones dedicated to feeding superconducting magnets occupy a niche. This particular kind of magnets has the intrinsic property of having zero resistance, and is only used in high-end facilities for fu ...

Liquid electromigration in gallium-based biphasic thin films

Stéphanie Lacour, Hadrien Olivier Michaud

Liquid metals have recently gained interest as a material of choice for soft and stretchable electronic circuits, thanks to their virtually infinite mechanical failure strain and high electrical conductivity. Gallium-based thin films are obtained by deposi ...

Structure of a dense release produced by varying initial conditions

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Jessica Zordan

Buoyancy driven flows such as gravity currents, present in nature and human made applications, are conveyors of particles or dissolved substances for long distances with clear implications for the environment. This transport depends on the triggering condi ...

Model for the erosion onset of a granular bed sheared by a viscous fluid

Matthieu Wyart

We study theoretically the erosion threshold of a granular bed forced by a viscous fluid. We first introduce a model of interacting particles driven on a rough substrate. It predicts a continuous transition at some threshold forcing theta(c), beyond which ...

Contained density currents with high volume of release

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Quentin Theiler

Contained density currents with high volume of release reflect against the boundaries of the reception environment commonly leading to oscillatory flow. These flows exist in sediment clarifiers, compromising their operations, and deposited signatures of co ...

A Rapid DC Component Elimination Strategy for Alternative Current in Frequency Converter

Alfred Rufer, Aziza Benaboud

The principle achievement of this contribution is to develop and to describe a rapid DC component elimination strategy for AC currents in the frequency converter, simply by selecting transient period. To avoid DC component on the line current, it’s known t ...
