Critical review of lasers in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

Gravas, S.; Bachmann, A.; Reich, O.; Roehrborn, C. G.; Gilling, P. J.; De La Rosette, J. (2011)

Laser technology has been applied to treat LUTS secondary to BPH for > 15 years. Some of the early approaches failed to fulfil our expectations and have been abandoned, but technological advancements and growing clinical ...

Linear and nonlinear stability of hydrothermal waves in planar liquid layers driven by thermocapillarity

Saenz, P. J.; Valluri, P.; Sefiane, K.; Karapetsas, G.; Matar, O. K. (2013)

A shallow planar layer of liquid bounded from above by gas is set into motion via the thermocapillary effect resulting from a thermal gradient applied along its interface. Depending on the physical properties of the liquid ...

On phase change in Marangoni-driven flows and its effects on the hydrothermal-wave instabilities

Saenz, P. J.; Valluri, P.; Sefiane, K.; Karapetsas, G.; Matar, O. K. (2014)

This paper investigates the effects of phase change on the stability of a laterally heated liquid layer for the first time. The interface is open to the atmosphere and vapor diffusion is the rate-limiting mechanism for ...
