AbstractAbstract
[en] The capacity of turbogenerators in PWR is regulated with governing valves located at the admission of the high-pressure turbine. In this paper we present a comparison between measurements and a numerical simulation of the flow in a 2D mock up of this governing valve. To predict and simulate transonic flow at low Mach numbers, we present a new extension of two codes initially devoted to incompressible and unsteady flows (pressure based method). The codes use either FInite Difference Method or, for complex geometry, Finite Element Method. Predicting those kinds of flows is difficult due to strong coupling between physical phenomena like turbulence on one hand, and the complexity of industrial geometry on the other hand. The comparison of numerical results with pressure measurements and also with Schlieren photographs confirms the validation of this approach. The results show clearly how the method correctly captures the structure of the jet. (authors). 10 figs., 11 refs

AbstractAbstract
[en] The rainforest of the Congo Basin is the largest tropical rainforest in the world, next to the Amazon. With almost 200 M ha of humid forest, this region plays a critical role in the regional water cycle, the global carbon cycle and the continental greenhouse gas balance. Despite its importance, the region remains poorly studied and the knowledge of the ecology of the Congo Basin forests lags far behind that of the Amazon or the rainforests of Asia. The lack of observation data does not only limit our understanding of the current climate in this region but is also a major hurdle in projecting future climate change impact for these forests.

AbstractAbstract
[en] In this Rapid Communication, we report on α-particle emission through the nuclear breakup in the reaction 40Ca on a 40Ca target at 50 A MeV. It is observed that, similar to nucleons, α particles can be emitted to the continuum with very specific angular distribution during the reaction. The α-particle properties seem to be compatible with an α cluster in the daughter nucleus that is perturbed and is emitted by the short-range nuclear attraction of the collision partner. A time-dependent theory that describes the α-particle wave-function evolution is able to qualitatively reproduce the observed angular distribution. This mechanism offers new possibilities for studying α-particle properties in the nuclear medium.

AbstractAbstract
[en] A 30 day contiguous photometric run with the Microvariability and Oscillations of STars (MOST) satellite on the WN5-6b star WR 110 (HD 165688) reveals a fundamental periodicity of P = 4.08 ± 0.55 days along with a number of harmonics at periods P/n, with n ∼ 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and a few other possible stray periodicities and/or stochastic variability on timescales longer than about a day. Spectroscopic radial velocity studies fail to reveal any plausible companion with a period in this range. Therefore, we conjecture that the observed light-curve cusps of amplitude ∼0.01 mag that recur at a 4.08 day timescale may arise in the inner parts, or at the base, of a corotating interaction region (CIR) seen in emission as it rotates around with the star at constant angular velocity. The hard X-ray component seen in WR 110 could then be a result of a high velocity component of the CIR shock interacting with the ambient wind at several stellar radii. Given that most hot, luminous stars showing CIRs have two CIR arms, it is possible that either the fundamental period is 8.2 days or, more likely in the case of WR 110, there is indeed a second weaker CIR arm for P = 4.08 days, that occurs ∼two-thirds of a rotation period after the main CIR. If this interpretation is correct, WR 110 therefore joins the ranks with three other single WR stars, all WN, with confirmed CIR rotation periods (WR 1, WR 6, and WR 134), albeit with WR 110 having by far the lowest amplitude photometric modulation. This illustrates the power of being able to secure intense, continuous high-precision photometry from space-based platforms such as MOST. It also opens the door to revealing low-amplitude photometric variations in other WN stars, where previous attempts have failed. If all WN stars have CIRs at some level, this could be important for revealing sources of magnetism or pulsation in addition to rotation periods.
