Beyond undulation! Body morphology and sensing components of elongated animals and robots reveal skills to maintain competent locomotion
Locomotion is an essential evolutive innovation of living beings that allows them to colonize and dominate the planet. As diverse as animal morphologies are (living) and were (extinct), their locomotion modalities are also diverse. In particular, animal mo ...
EPFL2023Four-dimensional drift-kinetic model for scrape-off layer plasmas
Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge
A four-dimensional plasma model able to describe the scrape-off layer region of tokamak devices at arbitrary collisionality is derived in the drift-reduced limit. The basis of the model is provided by a drift-kinetic equation that retains the full nonlinea ...
AMER INST PHYSICS2020A gyrokinetic model for the plasma periphery of fusion devices
Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge, Baptiste Jimmy Frei
Understanding the turbulent dynamics of the plasma in the periphery of fusion devices - the region extending from the external part of the closed flux surface region to the scrape-off layer - is of crucial importance on the way to fusion energy. Indeed, th ...
2019Assessment of RANS turbulence models in urban environments: CFD simulation of airflow around idealized high-rise morphologies.
Fernando Porté Agel, Farshid Kardan, Olivier Baverel
This study presents the evaluation of Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) turbulence models, including the RNG k − ε, SST k − ω and more recently developed SST γ − Reθ models of flow past an idealized three-dimensional urban canopy. For validation purpo ...
Springer2017Experimental characterization of a prototype secondary spectrometer for vertically scattering multiple energy analysis at cold-neutron triple axis spectrometers
A thorough experimental characterization of a multiplexing backend with multiple energy analysis on a cold-neutron triple axis spectrometer (cTAS) is presented. The prototype employs two angular segments (2 theta-segments) each containing five vertically s ...
Elsevier2016Multi-segment analysis of spinal kinematics during sit-to-stand in patients with chronic low back pain
Julien Favre, Thomas Legrand, Guillaume Christe
While alterations in spinal kinematics have been frequently reported in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), a better characterization of the kinematics during functional activities is needed to improve our understanding and therapeutic solutions fo ...
