We investigate the effect of roof boundary fence shape on the flow over a cubic building and on the power and thrust performance of a roof-mounted wind turbine via wind-tunnel experiments. The effect of fence height, porosity, angle, and curvature is inves ...
Turbulent full-f simulations in a linear plasma device are presented. Extending the work of Frei et al (2024 Phys. Plasmas 31 012301), the simulations are based on a drift-kinetic (DK) model that includes corrections associated with higher-order drifts and ...
This thesis contributes to the research on the challenging topic of wind turbine wake development in the atmospheric boundary layer. Through a combined theoretical and numerical approach, the focus is on developing new frameworks to predict the wind turbin ...
The near-surface boundary layer over patchy snow is highly heterogeneous and dynamic. Layers of opposing stability coexist within only a few horizontal meters. Conventional experimental methods to investigate this layer suffer from limitations related to t ...
This work presents a study of two-phase flow generated inside a rock-flow cell setup. It is characterized by a pipe section filled with fluid (oil in our studies) that is put into oscillation around its mass centre by an electric motor. This type of appara ...
In this article, three different modes of a novel integrated system would be evaluated by the application of high temperature Thermal Energy Storage (TES) to produce electricity, cooling, and freshwater. Freshwater is produced using the reverse osmosis (RO ...
Over the past forty years, the series of MCWASP conferences has been the witness of the fantastic developments in the field of modeling of welding and solidification processes. This has been made possible thanks to the exponential increase in computing pow ...
