Understanding and suppressing the near Scrape-Oﬀ Layer heat flux feature in inboard-limited plasmas in TCV

Jan Horacek, Holger Reimerdes, Ivo Furno, Benoît Labit, Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Federico Nespoli, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Roberto Maurizio

In inboard-limited plasmas, the Scrape-Oﬀ Layer (SOL) shows two regions: the near SOL, extending a few mm from the Last Closed Flux Surface (LCFS), characterized by a steep gradient of the parallel heat ﬂux radial proﬁle, and a far SOL, typically some cm w ...

Dynamic behavior of rock during its post failure stage in SHPB tests

Yang Zou, Yang Zhao

In order to investigate the micro-process and inner mechanism of rock failure under impact loading, the laboratory tests were carried out on an improved split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system with synchronized measurement devices including a high-speed ...

Microdevices for Locomotion in Complex Biological Fluids

Tian Qiu

Locomotion is an essential feature for survival of many organisms, and it is also a technical requirement for untethered biomedical microdevices to operate inside the human body for targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive surgery. The overall goal of ...

Development and application of Eulerian and Particle-in-Cell gyrokinetic codes for studying the effect of non-adiabatic passing electron dynamics on microturbulence

Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski

In tokamak fusion plasmas, micro-turbulence transport is known to be the cause of large losses of heat and particles. The present work deals with the study of electrostatic micro-turbulence transport driven by instabilities of essentially two types: the io ...

Simulating gas-liquid-water partitioning and fluid properties of petroleum under pressure: Implications for deep-sea blowouts

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Jonas Gros

With the expansion of offshore petroleum extraction, validated models are needed to simulate the behaviors of petroleum compounds released in deep (>100 m) waters. We present a thermodynamic model of the densities, viscosities, and gas-liquid-water partiti ...

Parameterization of bottom mixed layer and logarithmic layer heights in central Lake Erie

Damien Bouffard

The bottom boundary layer in lakes lies directly above the sediments and influences both hydrodynamic processes and biogeochemical fluxes. Several parameter-based models have been developed to predict the boundary layer characteristics, but the relative ac ...

Second-order sensitivity of parallel shear flows and optimal spanwise-periodic flow modifications

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Andrea Fani

The question of optimal spanwise-periodic modification for the stabilisation of spanwise-invariant flows is addressed. A second-order sensitivity analysis is conducted for the linear temporal stability of parallel flows U-0 subject to small-amplitude spanw ...

How non-adiabatic passing electron layers of linear microinstabilities affect turbulent transport

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski

The response of passing electrons in ion temperature gradient and trapped electron mode microturbulence regimes is investigated in tokamak geometry making use of the flux-tube version of the gyrokinetic code GENE. Results are obtained using two different e ...

Systematic errors of skin-friction measurements by oil-film interferometry

Peter Monkewitz, Jean-Daniel Rüedi

In recent years, the independent measurement of wall shear stress with oil-film or oil-drop interferometry has become a cornerstone of turbulent-boundary-layer research as many arguments depend critically on a precise knowledge of the skin friction tau(w)* ...
