The hunt for the Karman 'constant' revisited

Peter Monkewitz

The log law of the wall, joining the inner, near-wall mean velocity profile (MVP) in wall-bounded turbulent flows to the outer region, has been a permanent fixture of turbulence research for over hundred years, but there is still no general agreement on th ...

A plane‐strain hydraulic fracture driven by a shear‐thinning Carreau fluid

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

We study the propagation of a plane‐strain hydraulic fracture driven by a shear thinning fluid following a Carreau rheology. We restrict to the impermeable medium case and quantify in details the impact on fracture growth of the shear‐thinning properties o ...

On the Soil-Structure Interaction of Surface Strip Footings at Ultimate Limit State

Lyesse Laloui, Cristiano Garbellini

Theoretical methods for estimating the bearing capacity of surface strip footings usually do not consider soil-structure interaction. A few publications deal with the subject, but all of these either do not apply rigorous methods or do not consider the gen ...

Experiments versus theory for the initiation and propagation of radial hydraulic fractures in low permeability materials

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

We compare numerical predictions of the initiation and propagation of radial fluid-driven fractures with laboratory experiments performed in different low permeability materials (PMMA, cement). In particular, we choose experiments where the time evolution ...

Experimental investigation of the mass flow gain factor in a draft tube with cavitation vortex rope

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Andres Müller, Sébastien Alligné, Keita Yamamoto

At off-design operating operations, cavitating flow is often observed in hydraulic machines. The presence of a cavitation vortex rope may induce draft tube surge and electrical power swings at part load and full load operations. The stability analysis of t ...

Impulse waves generated by snow avalanches: Momentum and energy transfer to a water body

Christophe Ancey

When a snow avalanche enters a body of water, it creates an impulse wave whose effects may be catastrophic. Assessing the risk posed by such events requires estimates of the wave’s features. Empirical equations have been developed for this purpose in the c ...

Hydroacoustic Modeling of a Cavitation Vortex Rope for a Francis Turbine

Christian Landry

Hydraulic machines subject to off-design operation involve the presence of cavitating flow regimes in the draft tube. The cavitation vortex rope at part load conditions is described as an excitation source for the hydraulic system, and interactions between ...

Transitional cylindrical swirling flow in presence of a flat free surface

Roland Bouffanais, David Lo Jacono

This article is devoted to the study of an incompressible viscous flow of a fluid partly enclosed in a cylindrical container with an open top Surface and driven by the constant rotation of the bottom wall. Such type of flows belongs to a group of recircula ...

Self-consistent high-Reynolds-number asymptotics for zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layers

Peter Monkewitz

The asymptotic behavior of mean velocity and integral parameters in flat plate turbulent boundary layers under zero pressure gradient are studied for Reynolds numbers approaching infinity. Using the classical two-layer approach of Millikan, Rotta, and Clau ...

Interfacial interactions and colloid retention under steady flows in a capillary channel

Dani Or

Colloidal interfacial interactions in a capillary channel under different chemical and flow conditions were studied using confocal microscopy. Fluorescent latex microspheres (1.1 mu m) were employed as model colloids and the effects of ionic strength and f ...
