Stable detonation wave propagation in rectangular-cross-section curved channels

Simulation of Radio Wave Propagation in Arched Cross-section Tunnels

Since several years, wireless communication systems are developed for train to infrastructure communication needs related to railway or mass transit applications. The systems should be able to operate in specific environments like tunnels. In this context, specific radio planning tools have to be developed to optimise system deployment. Realistic tunnels geometries are generally of rectangular ...

Modeling wave propagation in damped waveguides of arbitrary cross-section

In this paper the Semi-Analytical Finite Element (SAFE) method for modeling guided wave propagation is extended to account for linear viscoelastic material damping. Linear viscoelasticity is introduced by allowing for complex stiffness constitutive matrices for the material. Dispersive characteristics of viscoelastic waveguides, such as phase velocity, attenuation, energy velocity and cross-sec...

Radio wave propagation in curved rectangular tunnels at 5.8 GHz for metro applications, simulations and measurements

Nowadays, the need for wireless communication systems is increasing in transport domain. These systems have to be operational in every type of environment and particularly tunnels for metro applications. These ones can have rectangular, circular or arch-shaped cross section. Furthermore, they can be straight or curved. This article presents a new method to model the radio wave propagation in st...

Planar Detonation Wave Initiation in Large-Aspect-Ratio Channels

P LANAR detonation waves are often created in narrow rectangular channels to more easily visualize the cellular structure of gaseous detonation waves [1–6]. Typically, these detonation waves are initiated from a single high-energy source requiring several kilojoules of input energy, such as a strong spark or exploding wire that creates a spherically or cylindrically expanding wave. This wave is...
