Magnetic, structural, and electronic properties of the multiferroic compound FeTe2O5Br with geometrical frustration

We report electron spin resonance (ESR), Raman scattering, and interband absorption measurements of the multiferroic FeTe2O5Br with two successive magnetic transitions at T-N1 = 11.0 K and T-N2 = 10.5 K. ESR measurements show all characteristics of a low-d ...

Dynamics of the head of gravity currents

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Helena Isabel Dos Santos Nogueira

The present work experimentally investigates the dynamics of unsteady gravity currents produced by lock-release of a saline mixture into a fresh water tank. Seven different experimental runs were performed by varying the density of the salinemixture in the ...

Phase Analysis of the Stretching Cycles of the Head of Unsteady Gravity Currents Developing over Smooth and Rough Beds

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Helena Isabel Dos Santos Nogueira

Gravity currents are buoyancy driven flows occurring spontaneously in nature or resulting from human intervention. Examples of gravity currents in the water are oceanic fronts, resulting from differences in temperature and salinity, and turbidity currents ...

The effect of pressure gradient on the collapse of cavitation bubbles in normal and reduced gravity

Marc Tinguely

When water flows through hydraulic turbomachines, the local pressure can become low enough to vaporize the water and create vapor cavities. This phenomenon is called cavitation. When the cavities collapse, shock waves and liquid jets traveling through the ...

Experimental study of the pressure fluctuations in a pump turbine at large partial flow conditions

Frequent shifts of output and operating mode require a pump turbine with excellent stability. Current researches show that large partial flow conditions in pump mode experience positive-slope phenomena with a large head drop. The pressure fluctuation at th ...

Energy partition at the collapse of spherical cavitation bubbles

Mohamed Farhat, Philipp Kobel, Danail Obreschkow, Nicolas Dorsaz, Philippe Kobel, Marc Tinguely

Spherically collapsing cavitation bubbles produce a shock wave followed by a rebound bubble. Here we present a systematic investigation of the energy partition between the rebound and the shock. Highly spherical cavitation bubbles are produced in micrograv ...
