The Big Building : Housing and Complex Design Strategies

Marta Meira Brandão

Large hybrid objects integrating multiple functions and whose scale, over 100'000 m2, is halfway between the fragment of a city and that of a large-scale building: these are the key features of the complex projects that are triggering new debates on the su ...

Small-Scale Variability of the Raindrop Size Distribution and Its Effect on Areal Rainfall Retrieval

Alexis Berne, Timothy Hugh Raupach

The drop size distribution (DSD) describes the microstructure of liquid precipitation. The high variability of the DSD reflects the variety of microphysical processes controlling raindrop properties and affects the retrieval of rainfall. An analysis of the ...

Using Mobile Eye-Trackers to Unpack the Perceptual Benefits of a Tangible User Interface for Collaborative Learning

Pierre Dillenbourg, Kshitij Sharma, Guillaume Zufferey, Sébastien Cuendet, Bertrand Roland Schneider

In this study, we investigated the way users memorize, analyze, collaborate, and learn new concepts on a Tangible User Interface (TUI). Twenty-seven pairs of apprentices in logistics (N = 54) interacted with an interactive simulation of a warehouse. Their ...

Dynamics of the cavitation precessing vortex rope for Francis turbines at part load operating conditions

Arthur Tristan Favrel

The massive penetration of the existing electrical grid by renewable energy sources requires a continuous extension of the operating range of hydroelectric powerplants, which can lead to cavitation flow instabilities inducing undesirable mechanical vibrati ...

Scale Model Evaluation and Optimization of Sodar Acoustic Baffles

Fernando Porté Agel

A 21: 1 scaled sodar, operating at 40 kHz, has been built and tested in the laboratory. Sodars, which use sound scattered by turbulence to profile the lowest few hundred meters of the atmosphere, need good acoustic shielding to diminish annoyance and to re ...
