Gas density distribution in a clustered-gas jet produced from a supersonic slit nozzle under high backing pressure
A gas jet produced by adiabatic expansion of gas through a slit nozzle into a vacuum has been served as a target in the study of high harmonic generation or laser wakefield electron acceleration. In this work, Mach-Zehnder interferometry was utilized to obtain the gas density distribution in an argon cluster gas jet produced from a supersonic slit ...

Belgium experience in disaster victim identification applied in handling terrorist attack at Brussels Airport 2016
The Belgian disaster victim identification (DVI) team is involved in many investigations in our country. Indeed, this specialized team of the federal police oversees searching for and investigating criminally buried dead bodies, identification of unknown putrefied corpses, and more. The Belgian DVI team also assists with the identification of victi...
The response of mild steel and armour steel plates to localised air-blast loading-comparison of numerical modelling tech...
This paper presents a comparative study of numerical, experimental and empirical techniques on the effect of localised air blast loads on mild steel and armour steel plates. The blast load effects on monolithic plates have been accounted for by using different approaches provided in the Finite Element hydrocode ABAQUS 6.13, namely an Eulerian Lagra...

Assessment of the announced North Korean nuclear test using long-range atmospheric transport and dispersion modelling
Published in Scientific Reports
On 6 January 2016, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea announced to have conducted its fourth nuclear test. Analysis of the corresponding seismic waves from the Punggye-ri nuclear test site showed indeed that an underground man-made explosion took place, although the nuclear origin of the explosion needs confirmation. Seven weeks after the an...

Evolution of average cluster size in supsonic cluster jet under high gas backing pressure
Evolution of the average cluster size at the center of a cluster jet from the nozzle throat along the gas flow is investigated using simulations. The simulation is performed for the cluster jet from the expansion of Ar gas into vacuum through a long conical nozzle (with the length L of 30 mm) under a high backing pressure (similar to 5 x 10(6) Pa)....
