For new fast-neutron sodium-cooled Generation IV nuclear reactors, the candidate cladding materials for the very strong burn-up are ferritic and martensitic oxide dispersion strengthened grades. Classically, the cladding tube is cold formed by a sequence o ...
A dispersion of particles will exert a retarding force or pressure on the moving grain boundaries, which is commonly known as Zener pinning. Despite a vast number of improvements since then, there is still no versatile theory that can describe the phenomen ...
The paper studies a combined effect of bed steps (BS) in both converging channels on the 3D flow in a confluence with alpha = 90 degrees. Nine combinations of bed elevation discordance ratio values in the two channels are analysed. It is shown that: 1) a p ...
We present a new technique for the design and test of coaxial switched oscillators (SWOs). In this paper (Part I of a two-part paper), we concentrate on the electrostatic design of coaxial SWOs. We introduce a new design for the electrodes, which have been ...

Lattice Boltzmann method has become a common tool for computational fluid dynamics. Thanks to the weak numerical dissipation of the numerical scheme, it seems very well fitted for aeroacoustics studies. However there exists only few validations in literatu ...
This paper is devoted to the mathematical modelling and numerical simulation of basic mechanisms that drive multicontinuum systems in two- and three-dimensional porous media. We state a general mathematical model within the framework of mixture theory, cap ...
We consider the numerical simulation of integrated heart models for the study of the cardiac functioning with particular emphasis on the coupling of the muscle contraction, the fluid dynamics of the left ventricle, and the interaction with the valves. We a ...
In molecular clouds, stars are formed from a mixture of gas, plasma and dust particles. The dynamics of this formation is still actively investigated and a study of dust coagulation can help to shed light on this process. Starting from a pre-existing discr ...
Recent works on reconstruction of room geometry from echoes assume that the geometry of the sensor array is known. In this paper, we show that such an assumption is not essential; echoes provide sufficient clues to reconstruct the room’s and the array’s ge ...
Rainfall-induced landslides in volcanic ashes represent a major natural hazard in many regions around the world. Due to their loose structure, volcanic ash slopes are prone to rainfall-induced landslides. The paper presents a continuum modelling approach f ...
