INTRODUCTION: Perfectly matched layers (PML) have been widely used for simulating wave propagation in unbounded media to effectively avoid spurious wave reflections from the computational domain boundaries. Time-domain PML formulations, especially for elastic waves, usually use a complex ... En savoir plus
Marine Vibrators are a coherent type of sound source, which can be quieter and less harmful for marine habitants than traditional air-gun technology. Such source gives clearer, more precise and higher resolution imaging of the bottom properties due to the coherent signal and streamer ... En savoir plus
Pre-existing oil and gas wells and well bores represent highly permeable pathways for leakage of greenhouse gases; in Alberta alone leaks have been estimated to provide the equivalent of 3.5 million tonnes of CO2 per annum. In addition to abandoned wells without plugs, gas leakage may ... En savoir plus
Surface Plasmons (SP) or Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP) are electromagnetic excitations that propagate at the interface between a dielectric and a conductor, and are evanescently confined in the perpendicular direction to the propagation. They arise via coupling of the electromagnetic ... En savoir plus
Bolometers are used in a number of applications including night vision cameras, astronomy, and particle physics to measure the power of incident electromagnetic radiation. The general principle of operation is shown below: a strip of conducting material is exposed to incident ... En savoir plus
A novel propellant technology requires extruding two formulations with differential burning rates (slow and fast) together as a multilayered propellant. This multilayered propellant is processed into a concentric cylinder configuration, in the form of slow-fast-slow with single ... En savoir plus
Over the last decade, plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs) have received growing interest as exogenous contrast agents in the thermal expansion based photoacoustic (PA) imaging technique in biomedical applications [1]. Such functionality is due to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) ... En savoir plus
Compact Heat Exchangers, specifically Printed Circuit Heat Exchangers, are widely used in industry as a replacement for traditionally large heat exchangers (e.g. Shell and Tube) due to their small size and high effectiveness. Modelling of PCHEs, specifically those manufactured by Heatric ... En savoir plus
Electrowetting on Dielectric (EWOD) is a versatile tool for performing basic operations in Digital Microfluidic Systems. In EWOD, surface tension between a liquid droplet and solid substrate is modulated by applying voltage to an electrode and a hydrophobic surface is transformed into a ... En savoir plus
Organ-on-a-chip microdevices combine microfluidics, MEMS, and biotechnology techniques to mimic the multicellular architectures, tissue-tissue interfaces, physicochemical microenvironments, and vascular perfusion of the body.[1] Such devices are being developed to provide better levels ...
