Nuclear fusion represents a promising solution for providing clean and sustainable energy. However, to support fusion reactions, tritium, a rare isotope, must be continuously produced within the reactor. Breeding blankets, which surround the plasma, produce this tritium. These components ... Read More
This study focuses on optimizing the lengths of various structural components around a cylinder to minimize drag. Using COMSOL Multiphysics, numerical simulations involving Laminar Flow were performed. Key components optimized include an arrowhead positioned upstream and two flaps ... Read More
The transfer molding process is a widely used method for encapsulating microelectronics and power semiconductor devices. In power electronics, it is gaining increasing importance, particularly in the automotive sector [1]. In transfer molding, an epoxy mold compound (EMC) is injected ... Read More
Efficient mixing and pumping of liquids at the microscale is a technology that is still to be optimized. The combination of an AC electric field with a small temperature gradient leads to a strong electrothermal flow that can be used for multiple purposes. Combining simulations and ... Read More
The WaveEL buoy developed by the company Waves4power is characterized as a point absorber and has a 36 meters long vertical cylinder where a water-piston is oscillating due to induced motion from the waves. Estimating the wave loads on the piston is a challenge due to the presence of ... Read More
A pneumonectomy is an invasive, high-risk surgical procedure performed to remove the right or left lung. Although this may be a life saving procedure for some patients, it has high morbidity rates and many complications post-pneumonectomy. Pneumonectomies result in the heart’s entire ... Read More
Metal foams are interesting materials with many potential uses. They are characterized by a cellular structure represented by a metal (or a metal alloy) and gas voids inside. A common metallic cellular material is a solid sponge, also known as open-cell metal foam. Due to their intrinsic ... Read More
Started in March 2020, the SOFITT project (Saturated Open-Cell Foams for Innovative Tribology in Turbomachinery), funded by the ANR (French National Research Agency), aims to develop reliable, high-performance, and environmentally friendly solutions for the guidance and support systems ...
