An Empirical Model of Aerodynamic Drag in Alpine Skiing

open access: yesProceedings, 2018
This paper describes an empirical model of aerodynamic drag for a range of body positions commonly used in alpine skiing. In order to calculate the drag coefficient (CD), a method for calculating the frontal area of an alpine skier, inside a wind tunnel,

Why Drag? Observations on drag performance in times of drag popularity

open access: yesDocumenta, 2019
Simon Baetens is een student Drama aan het KASK, waar hij momenteel zijn master afwerkt. In deze artistieke bijdrage, werpt hij een blik op theoretische hoek op een andere artistieke praktijk van hem als dragperformer. Aan de hand van een visuele en tekstuele collage, maakt hij een kritische reflectie over drag in connectie tot zijn eigen werk binnen ...

Cryogenic Deformation Behavior of TiAl and Insights Into Embrittlement After High‐Temperature Exposure Combined With Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy of Near Surface Chemistry

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Near‐surface deuterium enrichment profiles for different microstructural types of TiAl after exposure at 700 °C in a heavy water‐containing environment. The deuterium levels are significantly higher than expected from natural occurrence, indicating that the heavy water dissociated during the exposure treatment and entered the specimens.
