Cavitation bubble dynamics and microjet atomization near tissue-mimicking materials

Mohamed Farhat, Davide Bernardo Preso, Armand Baptiste Sieber

In recent years, considerable interest has been devoted to the interactions between cavitation bubbles and tissue-mimicking materials due to their promising applications in medicine and biomedical sciences. The strong fluid-structure interaction between a ...

Measurements of ion velocity and wave propagation in a hollow cathode plume

Christopher Andrew Dodson

The mechanism responsible for the production of energetic ions in the plume of hollow cathodes for electric propulsion is still an open issue. These ions are of concern to cathode and thruster lifetime, particularly for cathodes operating at high (>20 A) d ...

Sub-Kelvin stereodynamics of the Ne(3P2)+N2 reaction

Andreas Osterwalder, Junwen Zou, Sean Dennis Steven Gordon

We present an experimental study of the low-energy stereodynamics of the Ne(3P2)+N2 reaction. Supersonic expansions of the two reactants are superposed in a merged beam experiment, where individual velocity control of the two beams allows us to reach avera ...

Rapid Production of Submicron Drug Substance Particles by Supersonic Spray Drying

Esther Amstad

Many newly developed active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are poorly soluble in water and thus have a dissolution-limited bioavailability. The bioavailability of Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) class II APIs increases if they dissolve fas ...

The Role of Impeller Outflow Conditions on the Performance of Vaned Diffusers

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

Highly loaded impellers, typically used in turbocharger and gas turbine applications, exhaust an unsteady, transonic flow that is nonuniform across the span and pitch and swirling at angles approaching tangential. With the exception of the flow angle, conf ...

Quantifying the Bullwhip Effect Using Two-Echelon Data: A Cross-Industry Empirical Investigation

Ralf Seifert, Olov Isaksson

The bullwhip effect denotes the phenomenon whereby demand variability is amplified from a downstream site (buyer) to an upstream site (supplier) in the supply chain. This paper contributes to the literature that empirically investigates the bullwhip effect ...

Impact of rotating and fixed nozzles on vortex breakdown in compressible swirling jet flows

François Gallaire

Vortex breakdown of swirling, round jet flows is investigated in the compressible, subsonic regime by means of Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). This is achieved by solving the compressible Navier-Stokes equations on a cylindrical grid using high-order sp ...

Merged neutral beams

Andreas Osterwalder

A detailed description of a merged beam apparatus for the study of low energy molecular scattering is given. This review is intended to guide any scientist who plans to construct a similar experiment, and to provide some inspiration in describing the appro ...

Low-temperature Collisions between Neutral Molecules in Merged Molecular Beams

Andreas Osterwalder, Justinas Jankunas, Benjamin Bertsche

We have developed an experiment for the investigation of neutral molecular collisions in the gas phase at temperatures as low as 100 mK. These low temperatures are obtained by merging two supersonic expansions, using an electric and a magnetic guide, and b ...

Operational Decisions and Supply Chain Dynamics : An Empirical Investigation

Olov Isaksson

While traditional research in operations management has focused on mathematical models for improving the flow of physical goods and information, this dissertation takes a quantitative empirical approach. With three distinct research projects it revisits ce ...

Measurement of sound speed vs. depth in South Pole ice for neutrino astronomy

Xiaoxia Bai

We have measured the speed of both pressure waves and shear waves as a function of depth between 80 and 500 m depth in South Pole ice with better than 1% precision. The measurements were made using the South Pole Acoustic Test Setup (SPATS), an array of tr ...

Efficient and Stable Acoustic Tomography Using Sparse Reconstruction Methods

Martin Vetterli, Luciano Sbaiz, Ali Hormati, Ivana Jovanovic

We study an acoustic tomography problem and propose a new inversion technique based on sparsity. Acoustic tomography observes the parameters of the medium that influence the speed of sound propagation. In the human body, the parameters that mostly influenc ...

Plasma rotation and momentum transport studies at JET

An experimental study in plasma rotation and momentum transport was carried out at JET. The toroidal rotation profile was found to scale approximately with that of the ion temperature. However, significant deviations from this were found in high density EL ...

Inclusion of aerodynamic non-equilibrium effects in supersonic plasma jet enthalpy probe measurements

Christoph Hollenstein, Malko Gindrat

Low pressure plasma spraying (LPPS) is a thermal spraying technique that has found a niche for low oxidation products. It uses a low pressure environment (i.e:, chamber pressure between 2 and 90 kPa) and yields supersonic plasma jets. The enthalpy probe te ...

Characterization of supersonic low pressure plasma jets

Malko Gindrat

Low Pressure Plasma Spraying (LPPS) processes use a DC plasma jet expanding at low pressure for fast deposition of dense coatings in a controlled atmosphere. The LPPS technology is widely used industrially in particular in the aeronautics and medical indus ...
