Hydro-mechanical coupling in porous rocks: hidden dependences to the microstructure?

Lucas Xan Pimienta

While hydro-mechanical coupling in rocks is generally well understood, exotic rock poroelastic responses-such as unexpected dependence to fluid diffusion time and low skeleton moduli-have been reported. Hydro-mechanical coupling, or poroelasticity, explain ...

Swirl number based transposition of flow-induced mechanical stresses from reduced scale to full-size Francis turbine runners

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior, Keita Yamamoto

At part load conditions, Francis turbines are subject to the emergence of a hydrodynamic instability in their draft tube, referred to as precessing vortex rope. It induces pressure pulsations in the water passages at the precession frequency of the vortex, ...

Fault Stability Across the Seismogenic Zone

François Xavier Thibault Passelègue

Across the seismogenic zone, the transition from brittle to plastic deformation corresponds to a semibrittle regime where brittle fracturing and plastic flow coexist at high strength conditions. Thorough experimental investigations on brittle-plastic trans ...

Distributed hydrostatic pressure measurement using phase OTDR in a highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber

Luc Thévenaz, Li Zhang

Although distributed fiber-optic sensing of axial strain and temperature is a well-established technique, there are almost no demonstrations of distributed hydrostatic pressure sensing. The main obstacle for such measurements is the low sensitivity to pres ...
