Propagation of planar three-dimensional buoyant hydraulic fractures

Andreas Möri

Hydraulic fractures are driven by an internal fluid pressure exceeding the minimum compressive stress, propagating in a direction perpendicular to the latter. This class of tensile fractures has gained interest over the last fifty years due to the developm ...

Air mediates the impact of a compliant hemisphere on a rigid smooth surface

John Martin Kolinski

Fleeting contact between solids immersed in a fluid medium governs the response of critically important materials, from coffee to soil. Rapid impact of soft solids occurs in systems as diverse as car tires, soft robotic locomotion and suspensions, includin ...

Pyramid Architecture Search for Real-Time Image Deblurring

Wei Liu, Kaicheng Yu

Multi-scale and multi-patch deep models have been shown effective in removing blurs of dynamic scenes. However, these methods still suffer from one major obstacle: manually designing a lightweight and high-efficiency network is challenging and time-consumi ...

Continuously-fed density currents over impermeable and porous substrates

Sara Venuleo

Gravity currents are buoyancy-driven flows having a significant impact on the environment and human life. They can be observed in a vast range of natural and anthropogenic scenarios, such as seawater and freshwater, the atmosphere, or industrial processes. ...

Understanding the destabilizing role for surface tension in planar shear flows in terms of wave interaction

François Gallaire

Both surface tension and buoyancy force in stable stratification act to restore perturbed interfaces back to their initial positions. Hence, both are intuitively considered as stabilizing agents. Nevertheless, the Taylor-Caulfield instability is a countere ...

Adapting tilt corrections and the governing flow equations for steep, fully three-dimensional, mountainous terrain

Marc Parlange, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Eric Richard Pardyjak, Holly Jayne Oldroyd

In recent studies of atmospheric turbulent surface exchange in complex terrain, questions arise concerning velocity-sensor tilt corrections and the governing flow equations for coordinate systems aligned with steep slopes. The standard planar-fit method, a ...

ALE/finite element modeling of an unconfined bubble plume in periodic domain: bubble shape and oscillation analysis

John Richard Thome, Gustavo Rabello Dos Anjos

This paper introduces a numerical model developed based upon the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian/finite element scheme to analyze bubble plumes in a periodic domain. A spherical air bubble is immersed into a large pool of quiescent water to act as an unconfi ...

Numerical simulation of 3D free surface flows, with multiple incompressible immiscible phases. Applications to impulse waves

Marco Picasso, Alexandre Caboussat

A numerical method for the solution to the density-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations modeling the flow of N immiscible incompressible liquid phases with a free surface is proposed. It allows to model the flow of an arbitrary number of liquid ...

Measurement of strain-rate components in a glacier with embedded inclinometers: numerical analysis

Marco Picasso

Inclinometry with embedded probes is analyzed with a Stokes model of a solid body floating in a fluid with much smaller viscosity for a two-dimensional flow field. The assumption that such a probe behaves like a Lagrangian unit vector is only justified for ...

Analysis of the compaction phenomena due to the water injection in reservoirs with a three-phase geomechanical model

Lyesse Laloui, Mathieu Nuth

In the coastal regions, the land subsidence due to the industrial pumping of underground fluids such as methane is documented by the means of in situ surveys. The laboratory characterization of the gas bearing formations has also been published, which comp ...

Mass-based depth and velocity scales for gravity currents and related flows

Anton Schleiss

Gravity driven flows on inclines can be caused by cold, saline or turbid inflows into water bodies. Another example are cold downslope winds, which are caused by cooling of the atmosphere at the lower boundary. In a well-known contribution, Ellison and Tur ...
