GPU Acceleration of the PWTD Algorithm for application in High-Frequency Communication and Fotonics

When creating electronic devices, it is essential to model what happens when an electromagnetic field hits the device and it scatters. Conventionally, this can be modelled using the Marching-on-in-Time algorithm. This can become computationally expensive for complex systems. To speed up the algorithm, the Plane-Wave Time-Domain algorithm is...

Towards the ambient aerosol extinction from dried aerosol in situ observations

Accurate predictions of the extinction and scattering properties of the atmosphere are important for climate research and interpreting satellite data. This study introduces a model (called the H-model) that calculates the scattering coefficients and scattering enhancement factors based on in situ measurements of the dried ambient aerosol. A...

Development of Time of Flight Modulation of Intensity by Zero Effort for Larmor

A time of flight MIEZE spectrometer, which employs radio frequency spin flippers with square pole shoes and a magnetic yoke is presented. These flippers can achieve higher fields than conventional resonant RF flippers, which employ an air core. High fields are crucial for the construction of a high resolution and compact MIEZE spectrometer....

Aircraft Noise Shielding Assessment: The creation of a software tool to predict aircraft noise shielding

The amount of air traffic is increasing and cities become more and more populated. Since airports tend to be located close to or inside cities, an increasing amount of people suffer from aircraft noise pollution. More silent aircraft are needed to be able to reduce this noise pollution. One way to do this is through blocking the engine noise...
