Directional Cross-Correlation for Improved Aberration Phase Estimation in Pulse-Echo Speed-of-Sound Imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Samuel Denys Beuret, Simon Canales

There has been a recent surge in methods targeting the recovery of a speed-of-sound map from pulse-echo ultrasound measurements. We focused in this work on a particular technique and identified a drawback shared by similar methods - namely the necessity of ...

Design and fabrication of a vigorous "cavitation-on-a-chip" device with a multiple microchannel configuration

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Mohammad Jafarpour

Hydrodynamic cavitation is one of the major phase change phenomena and occurs with a sudden decrease in the local static pressure within a fluid. With the emergence of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), high-speed microfluidic devices have attracted co ...

Investigation of the Time Resolution Set Up Used to Compute the Full Load Vortex Rope in a Francis Turbine

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Cécile Münch-Alligné, Andres Müller

The flow in a Francis turbine at full load is characterised by the development of an axial vortex rope in the draft tube. The vortex rope often promotes cavitation if the turbine is operated at a sufficiently low Thoma number. Furthermore, the vortex rope ...
