Thermal Response Tests (TRTs) are widely used for conventional borehole heat exchangers to estimate ground thermal properties and support geothermal system design. However, their direct application to some specific energy geo-structure elements is not straightforward, such as retaining ... En savoir plus

Diamond Light Source is the UK's national synchrotron facility providing high-brightness X-ray, ultraviolet and infrared beams for multidisciplinary scientific research. To continue delivering the world-changing science that Diamond enables, the facility is being upgraded. The ongoing ... En savoir plus

Fundamental nuclear physics research and medical isotope production rely on large-scale accelerator facilities such as TRIUMF (Canada) and CERN (Switzerland), where beamtime is highly competitive and costly, limiting opportunities for systematic optimisation studies. In contrast, smaller ... En savoir plus

Borehole Thermal Energy Storage (BTES) can play an important role in the decarbonization of heating by storing surplus renewable or waste heat over seasonal timescales. However, the performance of a BTES system depends strongly on the borefield configuration, including borehole spacing, ... En savoir plus

Identifying material parameters, particularly temperature-dependent ones, is often challenging, yet crucial for many simulation-based applications. In this contribution, we present an inverse method for determining the material parameters of piezoceramics, combining measurement and ... En savoir plus

The chemical industry faces increasing pressure to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Traditional reactor designs often require external heating or cooling, leading to significant energy losses. A promising approach is the dual-flow reactor, which integrates an ... En savoir plus

Efficient transport and confinement of charged nanoclusters are essential for localized deposition in size-selected cluster beam systems. In magnetron sputtering and gas aggregation sources, both neutral and charged clusters are generated with broad size distributions. A quadrupole mass ... En savoir plus

Computational studies of cardiac defibrillation currently utilize homogenous electric field distributions [1-3]. However, inside the heart, the electric field depends strongly on the underlying cardiac geometry and the configuration of the defibrillation electrodes. Computing this field ... En savoir plus
