Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the main tool to use in industry and engineering problems including turbulent flows. Turbulence modeling relies on solving the Navier-Stokes equations. Solving these equations directly takes a lot of time and computational power. More affordable methods solve the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS)...

The Atmoscope is the idea to use the atmosphere of a planet as a telescopic lens. It uses the refractive properties of an atmosphere to converge light rays to a focal line. It has been hypothesized that using Earth’s atmosphere could, under favorable circumstances, yield an amplification of 55; 000 for a detector that has a surface area of 1m2....

Impacts on offshore installations and ships can cause strains at high rates. It is known that mild steel lower yield stress and hardening are strain rate dependent. Measuring this material behavior is not easy, as test results from many researchers, show heavy vibration. Vibration is normally referred to as ringing. This...

Predicting individual skill retention, the extent to which human operators retain learned skills over time is limited by lengthy experiments and identifying patterns in the highly dimensional data. Using machine learning to process this data and find patterns could provide a regression prediction of this data. This paper investigates the use of...

This study proposes an LCA system that provides haptic guidance during lane changes. This system is fully integrated with LKA functionality to provide continuous lateral support during highway driving. Two different system configurations of this LCA are investigated. One is a generalized LCA that provides lane change reference trajectories based...
