Model validation of high-speed imploding liquid cavities at industry scale

Fusion power has the potential to deliver clean, safe, and abundant electrical power on an industrial scale. Due to the extreme conditions required, involving temperatures of hundreds of millions degrees Celsius, it remains a technical challenge, particularly on a commercial scale. In a concept called Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF), plasma is compressed to fusion conditions […]

Performance d’un fuselage intégré hybride en régime transsonique

En 2015, la NASA, Boeing et Pratt & Whitney ont entrepris des études expérimentales et numériques pour calculer les performances d’un fuselage intégré hybride (HWB), désigné N2A-EXTE 0009H1, pour tous les régimes de vol, dont celles en transsonique. Le but de ces études était de vérifier un concept d’intégration moteur avec cette cellule d’avion non-conventionnelle. […]

Tractor cab re-design to support partially-autonomous agricultural machines

In recent years, the task of operating an agricultural tractor has changed in large part due to the introduction of new technologies. Perhaps the greatest change is related to the introduction of auto-steer technology that negates the requirement to constantly have one’s hands on the steering wheel of the tractor. The current configuration of the […]

Towards efficient building energy audits – An online platform for tracking multi-unit facilities

This research will aim to optimize Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) selection, through an optimization algorithm to be implemented on an online building energy auditing platform. The initial estimates shows that the platform can reduce audit time and cost up to 70% and offers detailed live results for multi-unit residential, commercial, and institutional facilities. This platform […]

Numerical and Experimental Analysis of the Hygrothermal Efficiency of Fully Bio-Sourced Building Materials Under Mechanical Loading

This project is a part of a collaborative research program between Canada and France, through a joint supervision thesis. The ongoing first phase in Canada involves utilizing a numerical simulation method, namely COMSOL software, to predict mass (water) and heat transfers through biobased building walls, with the incorporation of mechanical loading on the wall. However, […]
