The model emphasises the feasibility of using Millimetre wave for drilling. Compared to traditional mechanical drilling, Millimetre wave has the advantage of unlocking deeper and hotter resources such as a geothermal reservoir.This is open access and can be read from the permalink: doi.org/10.1016/j.compgeo.2023.105571 Great work by Albert Zhang and thanks to Quaise Energy
Featured article on Physics of Fluids
Delighted to see the paper by Muir and Nikiforakis on “Numerical modelling of imposed magnetohydrodynamic effects in hypersonic flows” appear as a Featured article on Physics of Fluids. The work contributes to research on how weakly ionised plasmas can be actively manipulated via imposed magnetic fields – a concept termed magnetohydrodynamic flow control. This allows […]
