Coupled with field observations and historical records, they are especially helpful in understanding avalanche flow in complex terrain. However, their application poses several new challenges to avalanche engineers. A detailed understanding of the avalanche phenomena is required to construct hazard scenarios which involve the careful specification of initial conditions (release zone location and dimensions) and definition of appropriate friction parameters. The interpretation of simulation results requires an understanding of the numerical solution schemes and easy to use visualization tools. We discuss these problems by presenting the computer model RAMMS, which was specially designed by the SLF as a practical tool for avalanche engineers. RAMMS solves the depth-averaged equations governing avalanche flow with accurate second-order numerical solution schemes. The model allows the specification of multiple release zones in three-dimensional terrain. Snow cover entrainment is considered. Furthermore, two different flow rheologies can be applied: the standard Voellmy-Salm (VS) approach or a random kinetic energy (RKE) model, which accounts for the random motion and inelastic interaction between snow granules. We present the governing differential equations, highlight some of the input and output features of RAMMS and then apply the models with entrainment to simulate two well-documented avalanche events recorded at the Vall{\´e}e de la Sionne test site.}, language = {en} } @article{ChristenBarteltKowalski2010, author = {Christen, Marc and Bartelt, Perry and Kowalski, Julia}, title = {Back calculation of the In den Arelen avalanche with RAMMS: Interpretation of model results}, series = {Annals of Glaciology}, volume = {51}, journal = {Annals of Glaciology}, number = {54}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, address = {Cambridge}, isbn = {1727-5644}, doi = {10.3189/172756410791386553}, pages = {161 -- 168}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Two- and three-dimensional avalanche dynamics models are being increasingly used in hazard-mitigation studies. These models can provide improved and more accurate results for hazard mapping than the simple one-dimensional models presently used in practice. However, two- and three-dimensional models generate an extensive amount of output data, making the interpretation of simulation results more difficult. To perform a simulation in three-dimensional terrain, numerical models require a digital elevation model, specification of avalanche release areas (spatial extent and volume), selection of solution methods, finding an adequate calculation resolution and, finally, the choice of friction parameters. In this paper, the importance and difficulty of correctly setting up and analysing the results of a numerical avalanche dynamics simulation is discussed. We apply the two-dimensional simulation program RAMMS to the 1968 extreme avalanche event In den Arelen. We show the effect of model input variations on simulation results and the dangers and complexities in their interpretation.}, language = {en} } @article{CampenKowalskiLyonsetal.2019, author = {Campen, R. and Kowalski, Julia and Lyons, W.B. and Tulaczyk, S. and Dachwald, Bernd and Pettit, E. and Welch, K.

DEMs can be acquired using topographic maps or remote-sensing technologies, such as photogrammetry or lidar. Depending on the acquisition technique, different spatial resolutions and qualities are achieved. However, there is a lack of studies that investigate the sensitivity of snow avalanche simulation algorithms to the quality and resolution of DEMs. Here, we perform calculations using the numerical avalance dynamics model RAMMS, varying the quality and spatial resolution of the underlying DEMs, while holding the simulation parameters constant. We study both channelized and open-terrain avalanche tracks with variable roughness. To quantify the variance of these simulations, we use well-documented large-scale avalanche events from Davos, Switzerland (winter 2007/08), and from our large-scale avalanche test site, Valĺee de la Sionne (winter 2005/06). We find that the DEM resolution and quality is critical for modeled flow paths, run-out distances, deposits, velocities and impact pressures. Although a spatial resolution of ~25 m is sufficient for large-scale avalanche modeling, the DEM datasets must be checked carefully for anomalies and artifacts before using them for dynamics calculations.}, language = {en} } @article{BoernerFunkeHendricketal.2010, author = {B{\"o}rner, Sebastian and Funke, Harald and Hendrick, P. and Recker, E.}, title = {Control system modifications for a hydrogen fuelled gas-turbine}, series = {ISROMAC 13, 13th International Symposium on Transport Phenomena and Dynamics of Rotating Machinery, Honolulu, HI, US, Apr 4-7, 2010}, journal = {ISROMAC 13, 13th International Symposium on Transport Phenomena and Dynamics of Rotating Machinery, Honolulu, HI, US, Apr 4-7, 2010}, publisher = {Curran}, address = {Red Hook, NY}, isbn = {978-1-617-38848-4}, pages = {665 -- 670}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{BoehnischBraunMuscarelloetal.2024, author = {B{\"o}hnisch, Nils and Braun, Carsten and Muscarello, Vincenzo and Marzocca, Pier}, title = {About the wing and whirl flutter of a slender wing-propeller system}, series = {Journal of Aircraft}, journal = {Journal of Aircraft}, publisher = {American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics}, issn = {1533-3868}, doi = {10.2514/1.C037542}, pages = {1 -- 14}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Next-generation aircraft designs often incorporate multiple large propellers attached along the wingspan (distributed electric propulsion), leading to highly flexible dynamic systems that can exhibit aeroelastic instabilities. This paper introduces a validated methodology to investigate the aeroelastic instabilities of wing-propeller systems and to understand the dynamic mechanism leading to wing and whirl flutter and transition from one to the other. Factors such as nacelle positions along the wing span and chord and its propulsion system mounting stiffness are considered. Additionally, preliminary design guidelines are proposed for flutter-free wing-propeller systems applicable to novel aircraft designs. The study demonstrates how the critical speed of the wing-propeller systems is influenced by the mounting stiffness and propeller position. Weak mounting stiffnesses result in whirl flutter, while hard mounting stiffnesses lead to wing flutter. For the latter, the position of the propeller along the wing span may change the wing mode shapes and thus the flutter mechanism. Propeller positions closer to the wing tip enhance stability, but pusher configurations are more critical due to the mass distribution behind the elastic axis.}, language = {en} } @article{BoehnischBraunMuscarelloetal.2023, author = {B{\"o}hnisch, Nils and Braun, Carsten and Muscarello, Vincenzo and Marzocca, Pier}, title = {A sensitivity study on aeroelastic instabilities of slender wings with a large propeller}, series = {AIAA SCITECH 2023 Forum}, journal = {AIAA SCITECH 2023 Forum}, publisher = {AIAA}, doi = {10.2514/6.2023-1893}, pages = {1 -- 14}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Next-generation aircraft designs often incorporate multiple large propellers attached along the wingspan. These highly flexible dynamic systems can exhibit uncommon aeroelastic instabilities, which should be carefully investigated to ensure safe operation. The interaction between the propeller and the wing is of particular importance. It is known that whirl flutter is stabilized by wing motion and wing aerodynamics. This paper investigates the effect of a propeller onto wing flutter as a function of span position and mounting stiffness between the propeller and wing. The analysis of a comparison between a tractor and pusher configuration has shown that the coupled system is more stable than the standalone wing for propeller positions near the wing tip for both configurations. The wing fluttermechanism is mostly affected by the mass of the propeller and the resulting change in eigenfrequencies of the wing. For very weak mounting stiffnesses, whirl flutter occurs, which was shown to be stabilized compared to a standalone propeller due to wing motion. On the other hand, the pusher configuration is, as to be expected, the more critical configuration due to the attached mass behind the elastic axis.}, language = {de} } @article{BecretGrossenTrillaetal.2007, author = {B{\´e}cret, P. and Grossen, J. and Trilla, J. and Robinson, A. and Bosschaerts, W. and Funke, Harald and Hendrick, P.}, title = {Testing and numerical study of a 10 kW hydrogen micro combustor}, series = {International Workshop on Micro and Nanotechnology for Power Generation and Energy Conversion Applications <7, 2007, Freiburg, Breisgau> ; PowerMEMS ; 7}, journal = {International Workshop on Micro and Nanotechnology for Power Generation and Energy Conversion Applications <7, 2007, Freiburg, Breisgau> ; PowerMEMS ; 7}, pages = {367 -- 370}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{BullerschenWilhelmiWimmer1985, author = {Bullerschen, Klaus-Gerd and Wilhelmi, Herbert and Wimmer, W.}, title = {Influence of non-uniform material properties and water cooling on current density and temperature profiles in arc furnace elektrodes}, series = {Steel Research. 56 (1985), H. 11}, journal = {Steel Research. 56 (1985), H. 11}, isbn = {0177-4832}, pages = {559 -- 564}, year = {1985}, language = {en} } @article{BullerschenWilhelmi1990, author = {Bullerschen, Klaus-Gerd and Wilhelmi, Herbert}, title = {K{\"u}hlung von Lichtbogenofenelektroden durch W{\"a}rmerohre}, series = {Stahl und Eisen. 110 (1990), H. 8}, journal = {Stahl und Eisen. 110 (1990), H. 8}, isbn = {0378-7559}, pages = {91 -- 98}, year = {1990}, language = {de} } @article{BullerschenWilhelmi1991, author = {Bullerschen, Klaus-Gerd and Wilhelmi, Herbert}, title = {Cooling of arc furnace electrodes with heat pipes}, series = {Chemical Engineering \& Technology. 14 (1991), H. 1}, journal = {Chemical Engineering \& Technology. 14 (1991), H. 1}, isbn = {0930-7516}, pages = {45 -- 53}, year = {1991}, language = {en} } @article{BullerschenVoigtFriedrich1990, author = {Bullerschen, Klaus-Gerd and Voigt, H. and Friedrich, R.}, title = {Experimentelle und mathematische Untersuchungen zum Heißtransport von Stranggußbrammen}, series = {Stahl und Eisen. 110 (1990), H. 6}, journal = {Stahl und Eisen. 110 (1990), H. 6}, isbn = {0378-7559}, pages = {97 -- 105}, year = {1990}, language = {de} } @article{BullerschenLeonard1990, author = {Bullerschen, Klaus-Gerd and L{\´e}onard, G.}, title = {Hochtemperaturtechnik}, series = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik. 62 (1990), H. 3}, journal = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik. 62 (1990), H. 3}, isbn = {0009-286X}, pages = {252 -- 256}, year = {1990}, language = {de} } @article{Bullerschen1990, author = {Bullerschen, Klaus-Gerd}, title = {Rechenmodelle zur Stromverdr{\"a}ngung in ein- und mehrphasigen elektrischen Leitungen komplexer Geometrie}, series = {Elektrow{\"a}rme International, Edition B (Industrielle Elektrow{\"a}rme). 48 (1990), H. 4}, journal = {Elektrow{\"a}rme International, Edition B (Industrielle Elektrow{\"a}rme). 48 (1990), H. 4}, isbn = {0340-3521}, pages = {199 -- 210}, year = {1990}, language = {de} } @article{Bullerschen1989, author = {Bullerschen, Klaus-Gerd}, title = {Hochtemperaturtechnik.

Yet to inform universities how to support the transition to higher education, research only offers limited insights. Current studies tend to either focus on the individual factors that affect student success or they highlight students' social background and their educational biography in order to examine the achievement of selected, non-traditional groups of students. Both lines of research appear to lack integration and often fail to take organisational diversity into account, such as different types of higher education institutions or degree programmes. For a more comprehensive understanding of student diversity, the present study includes individual, social and organisational factors. To gain insights into their role for the transition to higher education, we examine how the different factors affect the students' perception of the formal and informal requirements of the first year as more or less difficult to cope with. As the perceived requirements result from both the characteristics of the students and the institutional context, they allow to investigate transition at the interface of the micro and the meso level of higher education. Latent profile analyses revealed that there are no profiles with complex patterns of perception of the first-year requirements, but the identified groups rather differ in the overall level of perceived challenges. Moreover, SEM indicates that the differences in the perception largely depend on the individual factors self-efficacy and volition.}, language = {en} } @article{BohnFunkeSuerkenetal.2001, author = {Bohn, Dieter and Funke, Harald and S{\"u}rken, Norbert and Kreitmeier, F.}, title = {Numerical and experimental investigations on endwall contouring in a four-stage turbine}, series = {ASME Turbo Expo Land Sea \& Air 2001 : June 4 - 8, 2001, New Orleans, Louisiana / IGTI, International Gas Turbine Institute.
