Coherence in chaos
The flow in the mixing chamber of a supersonic ejector generates two mixing layers between the driving supersonic flow and the entrained subsonic flow. It is those highly turbulent mixing layers that are responsible for the entrainment. The flow was simulated using the Argo code of Cenaero,...

Kites: from kid’s play to green energy
Airborne wind energy systems gather energy from the wind using a kite (rigid or soft wing) that pulls on a cable. The cable is connected to the ground and unwinds from a drum, that drives a generator. When the pulling phase ends, the wing comes back, to rewind the cable, and the cycle starts...

Khaleesi Crystals
Knowing about crystal formation of organic compounds is knowing about pathways to improve the patient’s life. The crystal shape and size impact drug aspects such as flowability, compatibility, dissolution, and absorption rate. Membranes play a key role in controlling the production of...
