The present study was aimed to create new methods for extraction and analysis of land elevation contour lines, automatic extraction of water bodies (river basins and lakes), from the digital elevation models (DEM) of a test area. And…

We determine the phase diagram of liquid supercooled water by extensive computer simulations using the TIP5P-E model [J. Chem. Phys. {\bf 120}, 6085 (2004)]. We find that the transformation of water into a low density liquid in the…

The numerical simulation of multiphase flows presents several challenges, namely the transport of different phases within de domain and the inclusion of capillary effects. Here, these are approached by enforcing a discrete…

Inductive heating with high-voltage cables reduces the risk of hydrate formation by raising the temperature of the production fluid in pipelines. Heating the pipeline results in losing a certain fraction of the heat to the surrounding soil…

This work investigates climate--projections over a transitional region between dry and wet climates, the Iberian Peninsula (IP). With this purpose, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, driven CCSM4 and MPI-ESM-LR GCMs…

We show a parallelism between the expansion and compression of the atmosphere in the secondary cycle of a tropical cyclone with the fast expansion and compression of wet air in a bottle. We present a simple model in order to understand how…

Given the growing environmental challenges, accurate monitoring and prediction of changes in water bodies are essential for sustainable management and conservation. The Continuous Monitoring of Land Disturbance (COLD) algorithm provides a…

Liquid simulations for computer animation often avoid simulating the air phase to reduce computational costs and ensure good conditioning of the linear systems required to enforce incompressibility. However, this free surface assumption…

Wetting of surfaces with porous coating is relevant for a wide variety of technical applications, such as printing technologies and heat transfer enhancement. Imbibition and evaporation of liquids on surfaces covered with porous layers are…

In an Earth-analogue atmosphere, water vapour is a key carrier of hydrogen in the lower atmosphere with its transport above the tropopause controlling the atmospheric hydrogen escape rate. On the Earth, this escape is limited by transport…

We demonstrate a novel approach to three-dimensional (3D) printing of freeform ice structures by exploiting evaporative cooling. A micrometer-sized water jet is used to 3D print inside a vacuum chamber. The reduced ambient pressure leads to…

We report on the implementation of evaporative cooling of a magnetically guided beam by adsorption on a ceramic surface. We use a transverse magnetic field to shift locally the beam towards the surface, where atoms are selectively…

This work combines the principles of the heat spreader method and imaging capability of the thermoreflectance measurements to measure the in-plane thermal conductivity of thin-films without the requirement of film suspension or multiple…

We investigate the importance of the pseudo-continuum bound-free opacity from hydrogen atoms in the atmospheres of cool white dwarfs. This source of absorption, when calculated by the occupation probability formalism applied in the modeling…

This paper reports the optical and structural properties of 400 nm nanocrystalline cadmium telluride thin films fabricated using a new vapor controller system in vacuum. This system is indeed a rotating cylinder placed in the material steam…

It is well-known that water in both liquid and vapor phases exhibits exceptionally weak absorption of light in the visible range. Recent experiments, however, have demonstrated that at the liquid-air interface, absorption in the visible…

Numerous formulation processes of materials involve a drying step, during which evaporation of a solvent from a multi-component liquid mixture, often confined in a thin film or in a droplet, lead to concentration and assembly of non…

We demonstrate droplet manipulation using electric signals to induce the liquid to wet or dewet on a hydrophilic conductive substrate in the air without adding layers. In this phenomenon, the contact angle changes more than 15{\deg} or…

Recently, we have experimentally demonstrated a continuous loading mechanism for an optical dipole trap from a guided atomic beam [1]. The observed evolution of the number of atoms and temperature in the trap are consequences of the unusual…

A new mechanism for the passive removal of drop on a horizontal surface is described that does not require pre-fabrication of a surface energy gradient. The method relies upon the preparation of alternate hydrophilic/hydrophobic stripes on…
