Many (photo)electrolytic devices involve the generation of bubbles (e.g., hydrogen, oxygen). In these devices, bubble coverage on the surface of the electrode not only decreases the active area, but also induces optical loss.[1,2] Efforts in understanding the bubble detachment process ... Read More
Urban road tunnels offer a promising solution to extend existing road infrastructure while mitigating air pollution and nuisances affecting nearby residential areas. By diverting traffic underground, valuable surface space becomes available to address other urban challenges. However, ... Read More
The presence of oxygen in metal installations can influence their flammability, which leads to frequent combustion ignitions. Various studies have been done to characterize this ignition, in order to classify metals according to their degree of flammability, and to minimize the risk of ... Read More
Plasma, a complex fluid consisting of electrons, ions, neutrals, and excited species, exhibits both fluid-like behavior and electrical conductivity due to the presence of charge carriers. Consequently, computational modeling of plasma requires the integration of fluid and electrical ... Read More
In view of an energy system based on fluctuating renewable sources, the use of thermal energy storage (TES) systems plays a crucial role. In particular, large-scale underground water-based TES represent a promising solution as demonstrated by a number of cases currently being established ... Read More
Bentonite is a versatile material that is, among other things, envisaged in most countries worldwide for use in radioactive waste repositories to protect the waste canisters against groundwater. The thermo-hydro-mechanically (THM) coupled process of bentonite saturation is commonly based ... Read More
Roll-to-plate nanoimprinting is a manufacturing method to replicate micro- and nanotextures on large-area substrates with UV-curable resins. Figure 1 shows a schematic of the roll-to-plate imprint process, which is considered in this study [1]. It uses several rollers, for imprinting and ... 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
