Anomalous dissipation and other non-smooth phenomena in fluids

The thesis is dedicated to the study of two main partial differential equations (PDEs) in fluid dynamics: the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe the motion of incompressible fluids, and the transport equation with divergence-free velocity fields, whic ...

Three-dimensional buoyant hydraulic fractures: finite volume release

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri

In impermeable media, a hydraulic fracture can continue to expand even without additional fluid injection if its volume exceeds the limiting volume of a hydrostatically loaded radial fracture. This limit depends on the mechanical properties of the surround ...

Effect of wettability and textile architecture on fluid displacement and pore formation during infiltration of carbon fibrous preforms

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Helena Luisa Teixido Pedarros

We seek to address how air entrapment mechanisms during infiltration are influenced by the wetting characteristics of the fluid and the pore network formed by the reinforcement. To this end, we evaluated the behavior of two model fluids with different surf ...

Numerical simulation of immiscible incompressible viscous, viscoelastic and elastic multiphase flows

Léo Aurélio Diserens

A unified numerical framework is presented for the modelling of multiphasic viscoelastic and elastic flows. The rheologies considered range from incompressible Newtonian or Oldroyd-B viscoelastic fluids to Neo-Hookean elastic solids. The model is formulate ...

Rock-Flow Cell Parameters Evaluation Using Ultrasound Doppler Velocimetry

Giovanni De Cesare

This work presents a study of two-phase flow generated inside a rock-flow cell setup. It is characterized by a pipe section filled with fluid (oil in our studies) that is put into oscillation around its mass centre by an electric motor. This type of appara ...

Swirling against the forcing: Evidence of stable counterdirected sloshing waves in orbital-shaken reservoirs

François Gallaire, Alessandro Bongarzone, Alice Evelyne Julienne Marcotte

We investigate the response of the free liquid surface in a partially filled circular cylindrical container undergoing a planar elliptic and time-periodic orbit while maintaining fixed its orientation. For small forcing amplitudes and deep liquid layers, w ...

Friction Induces Anisotropic Propulsion in Sliding Magnetic Microtriangles

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In viscous fluids, motile microentities such as bacteria or artificial swimmers often display different transport modes than macroscopic ones. A current challenge in the field aims at using friction asymmetry to steer the motion of microscopic particles. H ...
