Study of interaction of drops and bubbles with electric field is important for understanding the physics involved in various physical phenomenas and industrial processes. Important applications arise in colloidal systems (Miller and Scriven, 1970), meteorology and cloud physics (Sartor, ... Read More
The crystal growth industry uses high temperature processes. To improve production efficiency, a good knowledge of thermal effects is necessary. We show in this article a methodology to get reliable data by mixing simplified models, sensitivity studies and parameters adjustments. The ... Read More
Acoustic streaming (AS) describes a physical phenomenon where an oscillating sound emitter induces a steady fluid motion. Metal processing industry applies this treatment for grain morphology adjustments during the solidification of metal. Improvement and further development of this ... Read More
This work is a first evaluation of the validity of the frozen rotor approximation for the simulation of a stirred beaker. The agreement is good, further analysis will be carried before using the model to optimize labscale setup dedicated to IL electrochemistry. Read More
The Service des Basses Températures of CEA-Grenoble has developed a cryostat able to produce solid hydrogen ribbons of thickness between 50 and 100 µm. These ribbons are intended to be used in high-power laser facilities to study proton-laser interactions. The current developments are ... Read More
In order to improve hydrogen production in an ethanol reformer it is needed to understand what happens inside it. Also, a simulated model can simulate different work conditions avoiding the necessity of doing tons of experiments. A 3D computational fluid dynamics simulation study of ... Read More
Electrostatic precipitation is an extremely efficient way of filtering fine particles from the airstream. Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) can control airborne emission without significantly slowing down the rate of flow, because of the low pressure drop across this type of filters. A ... Read More
Electrowetting (EW) has found a wide range of the potential applications including fast response displays, lab-on-a-chip microfluidic devices, and light vales. However, fundamental understanding of dynamics of EW-actuated droplet is not clear. In this work, a combined numerical approach ... Read More
Hydrodynamics of fixed bed reactors involve complex interactions of gas and liquid phases with packed solids. Such complex interactions manifest in different flow regimes occurring in trickle-bed reactors. A comprehensive CFD model was developed to predict measured hydrodynamic ... Read More
This work is focused on Micropump optimization for drug delivery application. Diabetes is one of the widely pervaded diseases. Among the side effects of hyperglycemia is the weakness of the whole body, so the patient will be unable to inject manually the drug. Therefore, Micropumps are ... Read More
