Experimental and numerical studies on landslide dam...
Landslide dams are natural dams that are formed by the blockage of a river channel with landslides, rock falls and debris flows. Landslide dams are prone to overtopping failure shortly after their formation, resulting in catastrophic floods in the downstream areas, further posing a great danger...

Corrosion study of the BR1 fuel in highly alkaline...
One possible route for the geological disposal of the Belgian reactor 1 (BR1) fuel, which will eventually become nuclear waste, could be the direct encapsulation of the whole fuel capsule in a cementitious matrix. Because the cladding of the BR1 fuel is made of aluminium alloy 1100 (AA1100),...

Development of time-efficient optimal design approaches...
This work addresses the challenge of designing a synchronous reluctance machine with a focus on on optimizing mean torque, torque ripple and structural integrity. Simultaneous optimization of all parameters results in computing times of several months, a consequence of the large number of...

Mesure des flux de sables en continu dans les rivières
L'évaluation des flux de sédiments en suspension dans les rivières reste une tâche difficile, en particulier pour la fraction la plus grossière, à savoir le sable. Pour les fractions d'argile et de limon, l'hypothèse d'une distribution homogène des concentrations dans toute la section de la...
