Velocity profiles of turbidity currents flowing over a flat bed

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Sabine Chamoun

Turbidity currents are the main source of suspended sediment transport in reservoirs and thus one of the main causes of sedimentation. One of the techniques used to avoid reservoir sedimentation is through venting of turbidity currents. In the framework of ...

Picosecond acoustics method for measuring the thermodynamical properties of solids and liquids at high pressure and high temperature

Livia Eleonora Bove Kado

Based on the original combination of picosecond acoustics and diamond anvils cell, recent improvements to accurately measure hypersonic sound velocities of liquids and solids under extreme conditions are described. To illustrate the capability of this tech ...

Equation of state of liquid mercury to 520 K and 7 GPa from acoustic velocity measurements

Livia Eleonora Bove Kado

Ultrafast acoustics measurements on liquid mercury have been performed at high pressure and temperature in a diamond anvil cell using picosecond acoustic interferometry. We extract the density of mercury from adiabatic sound velocities using a numerical it ...

Investigation of coherent acoustic phonons in terahertz quantum cascade laser structures using femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Pascal Gallo, Jérôme Faist

The dynamics of acoustic vibrations in terahertz quantum cascade laser structures (THz-QCLs) is studied by means of femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. The phonon modes are characterized by the folding of the acoustic dispersion into an effective reduced ...

Velocity profiles and interface instability in a two-phase fluid: investigations using ultrasonic velocity profiler

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini

In the present study the velocity profiles and the instability at the interface of a two phase water-oil fluid were investigated. The main aim of the research project was to investigate the instability mechanisms that can cause the failure of an oil spill ...
