Extreme Hydrodynamic impact onto buildings

Dam failures, impulse waves, tsunamis and storm surges are disasters that challenge humanity, often leading to massive casualties and important economic losses. These events generate highly unsteady flow conditions in the form of surges or turbulent bores, ...

Effect of Chaotropes on the Transfer of Ions and Dyes across the Liquid–Liquid Interface

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Evgeny Smirnov, Grégoire Clément Gschwend, Lucie Josette Renée Rivier

Chaotropes such as urea can break the structure of water, weakening the hydrophobic effect and reducing aggregation. Here, we investigated how the addition of urea affects the transfer of ions and cationic dyes across the interface between immiscible elect ...

Solitary waves in longitudinally wrinkled and creased helicoids

Florian Paul Robert Maurin

Elastic ribbons subjected to twist and stretch handle multiple morphological instabilities, amongst others, the longitudinally wrinkled and creased helicoids are investigated in the present paper as promising periodic nonlinear waveguides. Modeling the rib ...

Characteristics of solitary waves on a falling liquid film sheared by a turbulent counter-current gas flow

Nicolas Igor Jacques Kofman

We report an experimental investigation of a falling water film sheared by a turbulent counter-current air flow in an inclined rectangular channel. Film thickness and wave velocity measurements associated with visual observation are conducted to study the ...

Octave-spanning dissipative Kerr soliton frequency combs in Si3N4 microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Maxim Karpov, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Hairun Guo, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Michail Zervas

Octave-spanning, self-referenced frequency combs are applied in diverse fields ranging from precision metrology to astrophysical spectrometer calibration. The octave-spanning optical bandwidth is typically generated through non-linear spectral broadening o ...

Selection of solitary waves in vertically falling liquid films

Nicolas Igor Jacques Kofman

Two-dimensional solitary waves at the surface of a film flow down a vertical plane are considered. When the system is subjected to inlet white noise, solitary waves are formed after an inception region and interact with each other. Using open-domain simula ...

Basal entrainment by Newtonian gravity-driven flows

Christophe Ancey, Nicolas Andreini, Belinda Margaret Bates

Gravity-driven flows can erode the bed along which they descend and increase their mass by a factor of 10 or more. This process is called "basal entrainment." Although documented by field observations and laboratory experiments, it remains poorly understoo ...

Velocity profile measurements in bore waves

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Pfister, Davide Wüthrich

Hydrodynamic waves are an unsteady flow motion generated by rapid water level rise. In nature, such events can be found in dam-break waves, impulse waves and tsunamis. These phenomena are rare, but highly destructive. The present study is based on an exper ...
