On the influence of flow-front orientation on stringer stiffened composite panels in water impacts
Water impacts form the critical load case for high-performance carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) racing craft. Such events produce a peaked, non-uniform pressure distribution that travels along a hull panel as it is immersed. Current design standards ...
2024Atmospheric water harvesting in semi-arid regions by membranes: A techno-economic assessment
Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Marina Micari, Xuekui Duan
The availability of a reliable and sufficient amount of water constitutes one of the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. The provision of water is still challenging in many regions of the world, especially in arid and semi-arid regions ...
ELSEVIER2023Climate change impacts on water sustainability of South African crop production
Agricultural production in arid and semi-arid regions is particularly vulnerable to climate change, which, combined with projected food requirements, makes the sustainable management of water resources critical to ensure national and global food security. ...
2022Future water temperature of rivers in Switzerland under climate change investigated with physics-based models
Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Adrien Michel, Bettina Schaefli, Nander Wever
River ecosystems are highly sensitive to cli-mate change and projected future increase in air tempera-ture is expected to increase the stress for these ecosystems. Rivers are also an important socio-economic factor impact- ing, amongst others, agriculture, ...
2022Factors affecting the reactivity of slag at early and late ages
Karen Scrivener, Yosra Briki, Mohsen Ben Haha
This study investigates the difference between the reactivity of slag in NaOH solution (w/s = 100) and in cement paste (w/b = 0.4). The reactivity of slag is much higher in NaOH solution than in cement paste. When the NaOH solution is saturated with portla ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2021Oxygen diffusion through air–water free surfaces in a pump–turbine operating in condenser mode
François Avellan, Elena Vagnoni, Loïc Andolfatto, Pierre Leroy
The present research aims at understanding the mass transfer of air into water in a reversible pump turbine operating in condenser mode. In particular, the diffusion of oxygen through the water free-surface both in the vaneless gap between the impeller bla ...
2019The Mekong Delta Research Project as a Tool for Building a Pedagogical Approach
As an opportunity to discuss “Teaching in Research,” at EDAR’s Fourth Rencontre, I will be sharing my past experience in teaching without a Ph.D. and why I have decided to invest in obtaining a Ph.D. I shall discuss the differences between teaching with an ...
2019Human domination of the global water cycle absent from depictions and perceptions
Human water use, climate change and land conversion have created a water crisis for billions of individuals and many ecosystems worldwide. Global water stocks and fluxes are estimated empirically and with computer models, but this information is conveyed t ...
NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2019Power Law Growth and Delayed Feedbacks in Socio‐Hydrological Systems
Water infrastructure dynamics result from coupled social and physical hydrological processes embedded in “socio-hydrological systems” (SHSs). Freshwater fuels socioeconomic activity, which in turn exerts pressure on water resources through increased water ...
2019Cross-talk between emulsion drops: how are hydrophilic reagents transported across oil phases?
Bart Deplancke, Esther Amstad, Antoine Claude Jean Vian, Gianluca Nicolas Etienne, Marjan Biocanin
Emulsion drops are frequently used as vessels, for example, to conduct biochemical reactions in small volumes or to perform screening assays at high throughputs while consuming minimal sample volumes. These applications typically require drops that do not ...
