Sea ice is an important indicator for global climatic changes. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has been extensively used to monitor sea ice due to rough weather conditions in remote Arctic area. To better understand how SAR signal interacts with the sea ice, Electromagnetic Modeling (EM) ... En savoir plus

There are several industrial applications, like food dehydration, atomization and textile washing among others, that are enhanced by the use of power ultrasonic transducers with flat rectangular plate radiator. These transducers are composed by three main parts, the piezoelectric ... En savoir plus

Quantum Hydrodynamic Theory (QHT) provides an excellent method to study both near-field and far-field properties of multiscale plasmonic systems, especially for systems whose sizes make it computationally prohibitive for the density functional theory approach [1]. The microscopic ... En savoir plus

The solidification of a fluid in a partially-filled circular cylinder is encountered in a number of industrial processes and in the oil and gas sector. The characteristics of the process depends on various fluid and geometrical parameters. In the current study, a fluid with temperature ... En savoir plus

Flexible and semi-rigid polyurethane foams are widely used as noise and vibration damping materials. Their porous random microstructure is composed of a visco-elastic frame structure with an interstitial fluid, normally air, filling the voids. The viscoelasticity of the foams is due to ...

Design of the Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) involves extensive calculations to verify the reactor safety criteria such as power peaking factor during the reactor lifetime. Coupling of neutronic calculations, thermal hydraulic calculations and other reactor phenomena requires a ... En savoir plus

Introduction Thermal management is a key challenge in development of modern microelectronics systems. This is becoming an increasingly critical area of microelectronics packaging design due to the ever increasing levels of miniaturisation, integration and operating frequency which result ...
