Dynamical Behavior and Stability Analysis of Hydromechanical Gates

This study revisits the stability of hydromechanical gates for upstream water surface regulation, also known as AMIL gates. AMIL gates are used in irrigation canals, where they are often installed in series. From the regulation perspective, instabilities a ...

Virtual Submodule Concept Applied to the Modular Multilevel Converter

Alexandre François Christe, Drazen Dujic

The design phase of a modular multilevel converter (MMC) needs to be supported by suitable tools for the submodule loss evaluation. This paper proposes a fast MMC cell loss calculation based on the virtual submodule (VSM) concept. Compared to other propose ...

The viscous torsional pendulum

François Gallaire, Francesco Viola

A disk that is free to rotate about its axis and connected to a torsional spring behaves as a damped oscillator when twisted and released. The initial elastic energy is periodically turned to kinetic energy and it gets progressively dissipated by the visco ...

Bifurcation points of a singular boundary-value problem on (0,1)

Charles Stuart

Following earlier work on some special cases [17,11] and on the analogous problem in higher dimensions [10,20], we make a more thorough investigation of the bifurcation points for a nonlinear boundary value problem of the form -{A(x)u' (x)}'.= f (lambda, x ...

A self-consistent formulation for the sensitivity analysis of finite-amplitude vortex shedding in the cylinder wake

François Gallaire, Philippe Meliga, Edouard Boujo

We use the adjoint method to compute sensitivity maps for the limit-cycle frequency and amplitude of the Benard von Karmzin vortex street in the wake of a circular cylinder. rfhe sensitivity, analysis is performed in the frame of the semi-linear self consi ...

Resonance in swirling wakes and sloshing waves : non-normal and sublinear effects

Francesco Viola

Similarly to mechanical structures, stable flows can exhibit resonance when perturbed by an impulsive or harmonic forcing. Swirling wakes and sloshing waves belong to this kind of flows and manifest large energy response when excited close to their natural ...

Pushing amplitude equations far from threshold: application to the supercritical Hopf bifurcation in the cylinder wake

François Gallaire, Philippe Meliga, Edouard Boujo, Vladislav Mantic Lugo, Cristobal Manuel Arratia Martinez

The purpose of this review article is to push amplitude equations as far as possible from threshold. We focus on the Stuart-Landau amplitude equation describing the supercritical Hopf bifurcation of the flow in the wake of a cylinder for critical Reynolds ...

Self-consistent model for the saturation mechanism of the response to harmonic forcing in the backward-facing step flow

François Gallaire, Vladislav Mantic Lugo

Certain flows denominated as amplifiers arc characterized by their global linear stability while showing large linear amplifications to sustained perturbations. As the forcing amplitude increases, a strong saturation of the response appears when compared t ...

Saturation of the response to stochastic forcing in two-dimensional backward-facing step flow: A self-consistent approximation

François Gallaire, Vladislav Mantic Lugo

Selective noise amplifiers are characterized by large linear amplification to external perturbations in a particular frequency range despite their global linear stability. Applying a stochastic forcing with increasing amplitude, the response undergoes a st ...

Homoclinic snaking in plane Couette flow: bending, skewing and finite-size effects

Tobias Schneider

Invariant solutions of shear flows have recently been extended from spatially periodic solutions in minimal flow units to spatially localized solutions on extended domains. One set of spanwise-localized solutions of plane Couette flow exhibits homoclinic s ...
