AFFORDABLE SENSORS FOR SPEDITIVE AND ACCURATE DOCUMENTATION OF BUILT HERITAGE: FIRST TESTS AND PRELIMINARY RESULTS

Affordable Sensors for Speditive and Accurate Documentation of Built Heritage: First Tests and Preliminary Results

When facing unregulated human interventions, the tumultuous backdrop of wars, and the relentless impact of climate change, a significant effect is held on those structures that stand as custodians of our cultural identity and historical legacy.The need to document their status is an essential first step toward preservation and restoration.This cont

High-Reynolds-Number Flow past a Pipe

The present aim is to reveal the flow past a pipe which is immersed parallel to the mainstream at high Reynolds numbers.In a wind tunnel, we carry out (1) base-pressure measurements, (2) velocity-fluctuation measurements using a hot-wire anemometer and (3) flow visualisations by a smoke-wire method with PIV analyses, where we take consecutive picut

Small mode volume topological photonic states in one-dimensional lattices with dipole-quadrupole interactions

We study the topological photonic states in one-dimensional lattices analog to the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model beyond the dipole approximation.The electromagnetic resonances of the lattices supported by near-field interactions between the plasmonic nanoparticles are studied analytically with coupled dipole-quadrupole method.The topological phase tra

Distinct wind convergence patterns in the Mexico City basin due to the interaction of the gap winds with the synoptic flow

Mexico City lies in a high altitude basin where air quality and pollutant fate is strongly influenced by local winds.The combination of high terrain with weak synoptic forcing leads to weak and variable winds with complex circulation patterns.A gap wind entering the basin in the afternoon leads to very different wind convergence lines over the city
