Thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of energy barrettes: Field experiments and numerical simulations

Lyesse Laloui, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria, Elena Ravera

Over the past two decades, the thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of earth-contact structures such as piles, walls, slabs, and tunnels, which simultaneously provide structural support and energy supply, has been studied through various field experiments and ...

Energy performance and economic feasibility of energy segmental linings for subway tunnels

Lyesse Laloui, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria, Benoît Claude Henri Cousin

This study focuses on the analysis of the energy performance and economic feasibility of so-called tunnel energy segmental linings: an innovative technology that couples the structural support role of the tunnel lining with the heating-cooling role of the ...

Fluid–structure interaction in pipe coils during hydraulic transients

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, David Ferràs Segura

The paper presents the analysis of fluid–structure interaction occurring during hydraulic transients in pipe coils by means of a four-equation model. The purpose is to understand and describe the effect of the coil movement on the transient wave. The four- ...

The Role of Geological Barriers in Achieving Robust Well Integrity

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

Wells play a key role in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. They are not only a critical element in ensuring the permanent trapping of carbon dioxide (CO2) in deep subsurface permeable formations, but they are also being recognized as an important ...

Fluid-structure interaction during hydraulic transients in pressurized pipes : experimental and numerical analyses

David Ferràs Segura

The aim of the present research is to identify, describe and quantify the principal mechanic-hydraulic relationships during hydraulic transients in pressurized pipe flows in view of improving pipe design and reduce pipe and system failure. Phenomena affect ...

Signal analysis of an actively generated cavitation bubble in pressurized pipes for detection of wall stiffness drops

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Mohamed Farhat, Alexandre Jean Pachoud, Fadi Hachem

Due to the increasing production of volatile new renewable energies as solar and wind, storage hydropower plants have to operate under harsh operation conditions in order to stabilize the electricity grid. As a result, highly transient water pressures occu ...

Optimization of low-head hydropower recovery in water supply networks

Irene Almeida Samora

Small scale hydropower is emerging as a decentralized source to satisfy local demand for electricity. The interest in micro-hydropower, which refers to installed power below 100 kW, is increasing since this is a solution with low environmental impact. Wate ...

Hydraulic transients in straight and coil pipe rigs

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, David Ferràs Segura

Transient pressure waves in real pipe systems are affected by several phenomena not accounted for in the classic waterhammer theory. Damping mechanisms are differently manifested according to the material, configuration and existing features of pipe system ...

Energy and geotechnical behaviour of energy piles for different design solutions

Lyesse Laloui, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria

Energy piles are heat capacity systems that have been increasingly exploited to provide both supplies of energy and structural support to civil structures. The energy and geotechnical behaviours of such foundations, which are governed by their response to ...

Stress–strain analysis of a toric pipe for inner pressure loads

Anton Schleiss, David Ferràs Segura

This research aims to enhance the knowledge on stress–strain states of a coiled pipe used for Hydraulic transient experiments. The membrane theory of shells of revolution has been applied for the description of axial and circumferential strains while an in ...

Cavitation influence on hydroacoustic resonance in pipe

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Sébastien Alligné, Nicolas Ruchonnet

In pipe systems, pressure and flow fluctuations below cutoff frequency propagate as plane waves along pipes. Depending on the pipe length and propagation velocity, resonance leading to high amplitude pressure fluctuation may occur. At low pressure, cavitat ...

Visual Mapping of Internal Pipe Walls using Sparse Features for Application on board Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

In this project an algorithm to generate a single image of an entire water pipe's inside wall was developed. An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) equipped with a fish-eye camera will be deployed to dive through the pipe and take pictures of its inside wa ...
