Stability of a liquid layer draining around a horizontal cylinder: Interplay of capillary and gravity forces

François Gallaire, Shahab Eghbali, Simeon Vladimirov Djambov

We study the drainage of a viscous liquid film coating the outside of a solid horizontal cylinder, where gravity acts vertically. We focus on the limit of large Ohnesorge numbers Oh, where inertia is negligible compared to viscous effects. We first study t ...

Columnlike free-interface flows: symmetry breaking and linear instability

Shahab Eghbali

This thesis is dedicated to the analysis of a subclass of interfacial flows, columnlike free-interface flows, from two view angles: (i) the symmetry breaking under geometry-induced or external forces, (ii) their stability against infinitesimal disturbances ...

Propagation of planar three-dimensional buoyant hydraulic fractures

Andreas Möri

Hydraulic fractures are driven by an internal fluid pressure exceeding the minimum compressive stress, propagating in a direction perpendicular to the latter. This class of tensile fractures has gained interest over the last fifty years due to the developm ...

Selectively permeable microcapsules

Chuen-Ru Li

Microcapsules are appealing containers for delivering active ingredients, such as drugs and cosmetics, or conducting chemical and biological reactions on a small scale. To control the timing and location of release of these encapsulants, the shells of micr ...

Force Scaling Comparison of Transport Phenomena in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Flow Channels

Mahbod Heidari

Liquid-gas two-phase flow in flow channels of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells has been investigated extensively in the literature; however, a comparison between the order of the magnitude of the forces occurring within the flow channels has not b ...

Rödabergsområdet: a verdant small town idyll within the city

Chiara Monterumisi

On the rocky peaks of the hilly area in north-western outskirts Stockholm, more than forty architects gave their contribution to approximately 2,500 dwelling units comprising the neighbourhood so-called Rödabergsområdet, which corresponds to one of the lon ...

The relativistic foundations of synchrotron radiation

Giorgio Margaritondo

Special relativity (SR) determines the properties of synchrotron radiation, but the corresponding mechanisms are frequently misunderstood. Time dilation is often invoked among the causes, whereas its role would violate the principles of SR. Here it is show ...

H0LiCOW-V. New COSMOGRAIL time delays of HE 0435-1223: H-0 to 3.8 per cent precision from strong lensing in a flat Lambda CDM model

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes, Vivien François Bonvin

We present a new measurement of the Hubble Constant H-0 and other cosmological parameters based on the joint analysis of three multiply imaged quasar systems with measured gravitational time delays. First, we measure the time delay of HE 0435-1223 from 13- ...

A study of gravitational effects on single elongated vapor bubbles

John Richard Thome, Mirco Magnini

An experimental study was completed on the heat transfer induced by a single elongated vapor bubble rising in vertical, upward, co-current flow at various accelerations. The bubble shape and behavior were also studied under those conditions. Tests were con ...

Method for estimating and correcting a drift between clocks of receiving transceiver and a corresponding emitting transceiver, and receive for implementing said method

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz, Manuel Flury

Method for estimating and correcting a frequency offset between a local clock of a receiving transceiver and a remote clock of an emitting transceiver comprises receiving by said receiving transceiver, a signal emitted by the emitting transceiver, said sig ...
