Volumetric additive manufacturing in a scattering resin

Jorge Andres Madrid Wolff

Volumetric 3D printing is a novel technique that offers promising new perspectives in tissue engineering. In volumetric 3D printing, photosensitive gels or liquids are solidified by projecting light patterns via reverse tomography. Recent results show that ...

Geometrical digital twins of the as-built microstructure of three-leaf stone masonry walls with laser scanning

Katrin Beyer, Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Savvas Saloustros, Andrea Settimi, Andrea Cabriada Ascencio

Research on irregular stone masonry walls is hampered by the lack of detailed geometrical models of their internal micro-structure, i.e. the shape and size of each stone and its position within the wall. Without such a geometric digital twin of walls teste ...

Numerical modeling of ground movement above underground salt mines in Tuzla city, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Stefan Marceta

The subsidence occurring in the city of Tuzla in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) is an important issue which has caused several damages in the past decades. This phenomena is related to the massive extraction of salt and the presence of salt caverns below the ...

Biomechanics at the workplace under hypogravity conditions

Tatiana Maillard

The main goal of my research is to establish guidelines for workplace design based on human biomechanics: specifically sitting workplaces and handling areas in 1/6G-1/3G (Moon, Mars) conditions. Such a workplace could be used in long-term space missions in ...

A new Euler-Lagrangian cavitation model for tip-vortex cavitation with the effect of non-condensable gas

Mohamed Farhat, Huaiyu Cheng

Numerical simulation of tip vortex cavitation (TVC) remains a challenging task in a variety of applica-tions, such as axial turbines and pumps as well as marine propellers. Although it is well known that TVC is highly sensitive to gas content, be it dissol ...

PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2021

The hydropower sector has recently raised the interest in pump as turbine (PaT) that can be a valid trade-off between capital cost and performance in micro-scale installations. Nevertheless, the modest efficiency of PaTs often restricts their exploitation. ...

PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2021

This thesis aims to improve the current situation in the Duge pumped-storage hydropower plant in Norway. In the Duge power plant, which has an installed capacity of 200 MW, the rotor of one of the two Francis reversible pump-turbines (Unit 1) experiences e ...

Physical and numerical model studies of the Martigny bend as part of 3rd correction of the Rhone River

Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Stéphanie Joëlle André, Jean-Noël Saugy

The 3rd correction of the Rhone River (R3) is the largest flood protection project in Switzerland so far. Covering a length of 162 km, it aims to protect some 100,000 people and prevent flood damages, which could raise up to 10 billion CHF for major events ...

Comparing spatio-temporal networks of intermittent avalanche events: Experiment, model, and empirical data

Relaxational processes in many complex systems often occur in the form of avalanches resulting from internal cascades from across the system scale. Here, we probe the space, time, and magnitude signatures of avalanching behavior using a network of temporal ...

2020

At partial load and overload conditions, Francis turbines are subjected to hydraulic instabilities that can potentially result in high dynamic solicitations of the turbine components and significantly reduce their lifetime. This study presents both experim ...
