Comparison between Eulerian diagnostics and finite-size Lyapunov exponents computed from altimetry in the Algerian basin [PDF]

, 2008
Transport and mixing properties of surface currents can be detected from altimetric data by both Eulerian and Lagrangian diagnostics. In contrast with Eulerian diagnostics, Lagrangian tools like the local Lyapunov exponents have the advantage of ...

High-performance silk-based hybrid membranes employed for osmotic energy conversion

Nature Communications, 2019
Membrane-based reverse electrodialysis is promising for salinity gradient power generation, but achieving efficiency and stability is challenging. Here the authors design silk nanofibril-based hybrid membranes to realize high-performance capture of ...

Interfacial transport with mobile surface charges and consequences for ionic transport in carbon nanotubes

, 2018
In this paper, we explore the effect of a finite surface charge mobility on the interfacial transport: conductance, streaming currents, electro- and diffusio-osmotic flows. We first show that the surface charge mobility modifies the hydrodynamic boundary

Integration of a RSI microstructure sensing package into a Seaglider [PDF]

, 2015
Seagliders are a type of propeller-less AUV that glide through the water by changing their buoyancy. They have become mainstream collectors of standard oceanographic data (conductivity, temperature, pressure, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence and ...

Osmotic energy harvesting from produced water and boiler blowdown water by sulfonated Poly(ether ether ketone)-based mixed matrix membranes

Advanced Membranes
The salinity gradient between produced water and boiler blowdown water – both significant waste streams in the petroleum industry – represents an emerging, clean, and sustainable energy source. This energy can be directly converted to electricity through
