Dunn, S.M. (author), McDonnell, J.J. (author), Vaché, K.B. (author)Estimates of mean residence time (MRT) are increasingly used as simple summary descriptors of the hydrological processes involving storage and mixing of water within catchment systems. Current understanding of the physical controls on MRT remains limited, and various hypotheses have been proposed to explain its variability between catchments. We...journal article

Bernard, R.S. (author), Schneider, M.L. (author)Without some correction for the interaction between lateral curvature and vertically nonuniform velocity, depth-averaged numerical models cannot predict the gradual migration of high velocity toward the outside of channel bends. Conventional depth-averaging does not account for the curvature-induced secondary flow that gives rise to the...report 1992

Chen, S.P. (author)Microstructural modeling of thermomechanical processing is well established as a valuable procedure for optimizing processing conditions in the steel industry, while the similar work for aluminum industry is still an opening problem. Recovery, recrystallization and grain growth are core elements of this processing. This thesis concentrates on...doctoral thesis 2003

Ditzel, A. (author)Ground vibrations generated by high-speed trains are of great concern because of the possible damage they can cause to buildings or other structures near the track, and the annoyance to the public living in the vicinity of the track. Particularly in soft-soil regions, where the wave speed is comparable to the speed of the trains, a strong...doctoral thesis 2003

Stork, M. (author)Emulsions are widely encountered in the food and cosmetic industry. The first food we consume is an emulsion, namely breast milk. Other common emulsions are mayonnaise, dressings, skin creams and lotions. Equipment often used for the production of oil-in-water emulsions in the food industry consists of a stirred vessel in combination with a...doctoral thesis 2005

Van 't Hof, C. (author)Chemical shrinkage and simultaneous build-up of mechanical properties in curing thermosets leads to the build-up of residual stresses and strains. Depending on the constraints these may cause interface failure, dimensional inaccuracy or failure in the thermoset or its surrounding structure. The present work aims at both an improved methodology...doctoral thesis 2006

Li, A. (author), Norinaga, K. (author), Deutschmann, O. (author)Numerical simulation of materials synthesis based on detailed models for the chemical kinetics and transport processes is expected to support development and optimization of production processes. Exemplarily, chemical vapor deposition and infiltration of pyrolytic carbon for the production of carbon fiber reinforced carbon is studied by recently...conference paper 2006

Blanquet, E. (author), Chaussende, D. (author), Nishizawa, S. (author), Pons, M. (author)Over the last twenty years, processes which lead to materials synthesis from a gaseous phase constitute an important technology in many applications fields such as microelectronics or protective coating industry. Due to the complexity of the involved phenomena, computational modeling had been required to improve technological processes and help...conference paper 2006

Hickel, S. (author), Adams, N.A. (author)Further development of Large Eddy Simulation faces as major obstacle the strong coupling between subgrid-scale model and the truncation error of the numerical discretization. Recent analyzes indicate that for certain discretizations and certain flow configurations the truncation error itself can act as implicit SGS model. Relevant...conference paper 2006

Freitas, G.C.S. (author), Peixoto, F.C. (author), Vianna, A.S. (author)Thermal batteries are primary disposable systems specially designed to develop a high energy density in during a short period. Differently from the classical electrochemical systems, the electrolyte of such batteries is solid at room temperature, which make them inert until they are heated to high temperatures (around 500ºC), when the...conference paper 2006

Schrik, E. (author)The research presented in this thesis was done in the context of the modeling of parasitic physical effects, like field couplings and crosstalk, that may adversely affect the functional performance of Integrated Circuits (ICs). The modeling of parasitic effects, through simulations with the resulting models, provides insight into the performance...doctoral thesis 2006

Groot Wassink, M.B. (author)Inkjet technology is an important key-technology from an industrial point of view. Its ability to deposit various types of materials on a substrate in certain patterns makes it a very versatile technology. Though the performance criteria imposed by today's applications are quite tight already, future performance requirements will be even more...doctoral thesis 2007

Dijkstra, W.O. (author)In the thesis two different models of solidification of aluminum alloys are presented and analyzed. The first 1--D solidification model is derived from the conservation of solute, heat and mass. With numerical experiments it is shown that simulations with the Finite Difference discretization must adhere a relation similar to the Courant...doctoral thesis 2007
