Thornquist, Ona (author)With the onset of climate change it is crucial to eliminate emissions, particularly for aviation reliant on gas turbine combustion. Computational models aid combustor improvement, but experimental data needed for validation is difficult to obtain. Fortunately, laser diagnostics can now achieve non-intrusive, high-resolution combustion...master thesis 2022

Ioannidou, C. (author)The focus of the present work is on the micro-alloying element vanadium, which is well known for providing precipitation strengthening to steels and which has, therefore, attracted a lot of interest the last decades. Vanadium carbide precipitation can take place in the migrating austenite/ferrite interface during the austenite-to-ferrite phase...doctoral thesis 2022

Shoja, S.M. Aydin (author), van der Neut, J.R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Geophysicists have widely used Least-squares reverse-time migration (LSRTM) to obtain high-resolution images of the subsurface. However, LSRTM is computationally expensive and it can suffer from multiple reflections. Recently, a target-oriented approach to LSRTM has been proposed, which focuses the wavefield above the target of interest....journal article 2022

(author)Surface textures that result in high optical yields are crucial for high efficiency photovoltaic (PV) devices. In this work three different texturing approaches are presented that result in smooth concave structures devoid of sharp features. Such features can sustain the crack-free growth of device quality nano- to poly-crystalline materials...journal article 2022

Stumpf, Martin (author), Lager, I.E. (author), Antonini, Giulio (author)Thin-wire structures in the presence or absence of a ground plane are analyzed numerically in the time domain (TD) with the aid of the Cagniard-DeHoop method of moments (CdH-MoM). It is demonstrated that the TD solution of such problems can be cast into the form of discrete time-convolution equations. Under the assumption of piecewise linear...journal article 2022

Loreto, Fabrizio (author), Pettanice, Giuseppe (author), Romano, Daniele (author), Stumpf, Martin (author), Lager, I.E. (author), Antonini, Giulio (author)Time-domain (TD) methods for the solution of Maxwell's equations are particularly appealing for their ability to provide the overall characteristics of an electrical system in a single simulation run. In many situations, such TD methods require computing the system's impulse response and using it in a convolution-based solver. In this work, we...conference paper 2022

Fuchs, P.S. (author), Remis, R.F. (author)In this article, we present full-wave signal models for magnetic and electric field measurements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Our analysis is based on a scattering formalism in which the presence of an object or body is taken into account via an electric scattering source. We show that these signal models can be evaluated, provided...journal article 2022
