Simultaneous measurement of neutron-induced capture and fission reactions at CERN
(2012)
Article
Open AccessThe measurement of the capture cross-section of fissile elements, of utmost importance for the design of innovative nuclear reactors and the management of nuclear waste, faces particular difficulties related to the -ray ... -
Wind Shear and Buoyancy Reversal at the Top of Stratocumulus
(2014-03-01)
Article
Open AccessA numerical experiment is designed to study the interaction at the stratocumulus top between a mean vertical shear and the buoyancy reversal due to evaporative cooling, without radiative cooling. Direct numerical simulation ... -
The Two-Layer Structure of the Entrainment Zone in the Convective Boundary Layer
(2014-06-01)
Article
Open AccessThe entrainment zone (EZ) of a dry, shear-free convective boundary layer growing into a linearly stratified fluid is studied by means of direct numerical simulation. The scale separation between the boundary layer thickness ... -
Scaling Laws for the Heterogeneously Heated Free Convective Boundary Layer
(2014-11-01)
Article
Open AccessThe heterogeneously heated free convective boundary layer (CBL) is investigated by means of dimensional analysis and results from large-eddy simulations (LES) and direct numerical simulations (DNS). The investigated ... -
Mixing driven by radiative and evaporative cooling at the stratocumulus top
(2015-12-01)
Article
Open AccessThe stratocumulus-top mixing process is investigated using direct numerical simulations of a shear-free cloud-top mixing layer driven by evaporative and radiative cooling. An extension of previous linear formulations ... -
Experimentally well-constrained masses of 27P and 27S: implications for studies of explosive binary systems
(Elsevier, 2020-03-10)
Article
Open AccessThe mass of 27P is expected to impact the X-ray burst (XRB) model predictions of burst light curves and the composition of the burst ashes, but large uncertainties and inconsistencies still exist in the reported 27P masses. ... -
Impact of thermally driven ocean turbulence on the melting of ice
(2016-03-23)
Article
Open AccessDirect numerical simulation and laboratory experiments are used to investigate turbulent convection beneath a horizontal ice–water interface. Scaling laws are derived that quantify the dependence of the melt rate of the ... -
Global intermittency and collapsing turbulence in a stratified planetary boundary layer
(2014-07-19)
Article

Near-surface effects of free atmosphere stratification in free convection
(2016-04-01)
Article
Open AccessThe effect of a linear stratification in the free atmosphere on near-surface properties in a free convective boundary layer (CBL) is investigated by means of direct numerical simulation. We consider two regimes: a neutral ... -
Polyamorphic transitions in Ce-based metallic glasses by synchrotron radiation
(2011-12-01)
Article
Open AccessWe report here on a polyamorphic-phase transition upon application of pressure on a Ce-based metallic glass, Ce70Al10Ni10Cu10, investigated by x-ray diffraction and inelastic x-ray scattering. This alloy is found to display ... -
Growth and decay of a convective boundary layer over a surface with a constant temperature
(2016-05-05)
Article
Open AccessThe growth and decay of a convective boundary layer (CBL) over a surface with a constant surface temperature that develops into a linear stratification is studied, and a mathematical model for this system is derived. The ... -
Analysis of external and global intermittency in the logarithmic layer of Ekman flow
(2016-10-25)
Article
Open AccessExistence of non-turbulent flow patches in the vicinity of the wall of a turbulent flow is known as global intermittency. Global intermittency challenges the conventional statistics approach when describing turbulence ...
