Multiphysics model for assessing photoelectrochemical phenomena under concentrated irradiation

Sophia Haussener, Isaac Thomas Holmes-Gentle, Franky Esteban Bedoya Lora

A multiphysics model was developed for a photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell at the device level to simulate water splitting operating under concentrated irradiation (between 50 to 600 kW m−2). The 2D model couples charge, heat, mass, photon, and momentum tran ...

Diffusion-Bonding Between Strands and Modeling of Splices of Nb3Sn Rutherford Cables

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Nikolay Bykovskiy

Particle accelerators foresee the use of Nb3Sn in the next generation of dipole magnets. A common design strategy is to grade the coil, i.e., to optimize the quantity of superconductor in the turns with respect to the magnetic field intensity. As a consequ ...

Surface Susceptibilities as Characteristic Models of Reflective Metasurfaces

Karim Achouri, Shourya Dutta Gupta, Ville Tuovi Tiukuvaara

While metasurfaces (MSs) are constructed from deeply subwavelength unit cells, they are generally electrically large and full-wave simulations of the complete structure are computationally expensive. Thus, to reduce this high computational cost, nonuniform ...
