As a temperature gradient was imposed across the sample, natural convection currents formed. At the Rayleigh numbers reached in the system (10 7 order of magnitude), acoustic pressures are enhanced at ...

Pulsed eddy current (PEC) testing is a nondestructive testing (NDT) method, which is highly suitable for thickness measurement and sub-surface-defect detection. In this article, PEC testing is ...

We present here the analysis of the dynamic discharge characteristics of the plasma jet, where we set the metal plate in the downstream region and measure its voltage and current induced by the plasma ...
