Performance and Design of a Stepped Spillway Aerator

Anton Schleiss, Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier, Michael Pfister

Stepped spillways are frequently limited to specific discharges under around 30 m2/s due to concerns about potential cavitation damages. A small air concentration can prevent such damages and the design of bottom aerators is well established for smooth chu ...

On the Ohmic-dominant heating mode of capacitively coupled plasma inverted by boundary electron emission

Guang-Yu Sun, Haomin Sun

Electron emission from the boundary is ubiquitous in a capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) and precipitates nonnegligible influence on the discharge properties. Here, we present Particle-in-Cell/Monte Carlo Collision simulation of an Ohmic-dominant heating m ...

Hard and Soft Switching Losses in Power Converters: Role of Transistor Output Capacitance

Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera

To best utilize power converters, a sound understanding of the relationship between the circuit topology and the power-semiconductor-device characteristics is required. This is especially important in high-frequency switching, where device parasitics start ...

Thermal Modelling and Experimental Validation in the Perspective of Tool Steel Laser Polishing

Alexandre Masserey, Eric Boillat, Bastian Meylan

Laser polishing (LP) is a process that allows a significant reduction of the surface roughness of a metal workpiece via re-melting a shallow layer of material. However, the practical use of LP is limited due to the difficulty of satisfying the high surface ...

SporTran: A code to estimate transport coefficients from the cepstral analysis of (multivariate) current time series

Loris Ercole

SporTran is a Python utility designed to estimate generic transport coefficients in extended systems, based on the Green-Kubo theory of linear response and the recently introduced cepstral analysis of the current time series generated by molecular dynamics ...

Parametric study of the TF coil design for the European DEMO

Rainer Wesche, Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Roberto Guarino

In addition to a reduced number of feeders, which would simplify their integration in the cryostat of the tokamak, the present study considers the possibility to reduce the voltage during safety discharge of the toroidal field (TF) coils. A lowered dischar ...

Ionization Waves Enhance the Production of X-rays during Streamer Collisions

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

Experimental data show that in laboratory sparks, X-rays are produced in time synchronization with the meeting of streamers of opposite polarity just before the final breakdown of the discharge gap. It has been suggested that the electric field enhancement ...

On The Efficiency Of Energy Storage Systems - The Influence Of The Exchanged Power And The Penalty Of The Auxiliaries

Alfred Rufer

Storage is an important domain of the energy sector, with its traditional, classical solutions for smaller and larger amounts of energy. Energy storage has become of higher importance in relation with the development of alternative energy sources, leading ...
