Laterally unconfined neutral or negative buoyancy inflow into a quiescent ambient over sloping bottom

This work studies the nearshore hydrodynamics of a shallow turbulent flow entering a laterally unconfined quiescent ambient with a sloping bottom boundary. Examples of such flow are neutrally buoyant ebb tidal jets and hyperpycnal river plumes entering ope ...

Continuously-fed gravity currents propagating over a finite porous substrate

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sara Venuleo

We present the results of laboratory investigations of continuously-fed density currents that propagate first over a smooth horizontal bed and then over a porous substrate of limited length. Inflow discharge, initial excess density, and substrate porositie ...

Flow field in a reservoir subject to pumped-storage operation - in situ measurement and numerical modeling

Giovanni De Cesare, Anton Schleiss, Michael Müller

In pumped-storage reservoirs, turbulent kinetic energy input from plant operation can be considerably high. Flow velocities were measured by Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers near the intake/outlet structure to describe flow patterns induced by pumped-sto ...

Unsteady fluid dynamics around a hovering flat plate wing

Swathi Badala Krishna

Insect flight is characterised by complex time-dependent flows in response to the unsteady wing movements. Biological fliers exploit the unsteady flow fields to modulate aerodynamic forces, thereby displaying unmatched flight performance, especially in hov ...

Bifurcation Dynamics of a Particle-Encapsulating Droplet in Shear Flow

François Gallaire, Lailai Zhu

To understand the behavior of composite fluid particles such as nucleated cells and double emulsions in flow, we study a finite-size particle encapsulated in a deforming droplet under shear flow as a model system. In addition to its concentric particle-dro ...

EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS ON SEDIMENT ENTRAINMENT BY GRAVITY CURRENTS

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Jessica Zordan, Carmelo Juez Jiménez

Gravity currents are geophysical flows responsible of the distal transport of high volumes of sediments. In particular, turbidity currents, a form of gravity currents where sediments in suspension confer the buoyancy that ignites the flow, are the main mec ...

Characterization and Validation of a Novel Robotic System for Fluid-Mediated Programmable Stochastic Self-Assembly

Alcherio Martinoli, Bahar Haghighat

Several self-assembly systems have been developed in recent years, where depending on the capabilities of the building blocks and the controlability of the environment, the assembly process is guided typically through either a fully centralized or a fully ...

Spatial Characteristics of Roughness Sublayer Mean Flow and Turbulence Over a Realistic Urban Surface

Jiannong Fang, Marc Parlange, Marco Giovanni Giometto, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau

Single-point measurements from towers in cities cannot properly quantify the impact of all terms in the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget and are often not representative of horizontally-averaged quantities over the entire urban domain. A series of lar ...

Too big to grow : self-consistent model for nonlinear saturation in open shear flows

Vladislav Mantic Lugo

Open flows, such as wakes, jets, separation bubbles, mixing layers, boundary layers, etc., develop in domains where fluid particles are continuously advected downstream. They are encountered in a wide variety of situations, ranging from nature to technolog ...

Flow field UVP measurements of a Y-shape outlet structure

Giovanni De Cesare, Alexandre Jean Pachoud

Y-shape outlet structures are used to release the turbine water into a reservoir. Classical design oftenuses a Y-shape over a certain length and with a specific opening angle. Depending on the geometry,especially in turbine mode, significant undesired flow ...

Influencing Flow Patterns and Bed Morphology in Open Channels and Rivers by Means of an Air-Bubble Screen

Koen Blanckaert, Anton Schleiss, Violaine Dugué

The ability of a bubble screen to redistribute the flow field and bed morphology in shallow rivers and open channels has been investigated in laboratory experiments. Rising air bubbles generated by a pressurized porous tube situated on the bed induced seco ...

Three-dimensional numerical modeling of flow field in rectangular shallow reservoirs

Anton Schleiss

Flow field in shallow waters, which is characterized by its complex mixing process and inherent dynamic nature, is interesting mainly due to its practical importance (e. g. in free flushing operation and sedimentation in large reservoirs). 3D numerical mod ...

3D ALE Finite-Element Method for Two-Phase Flows With Phase Change

John Richard Thome, Navid Borhani, Gustavo Rabello Dos Anjos

We seek to study numerically two-phase flow phenomena with phase change through the finite-element method (FEM) and the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) framework. This method is based on the so-called one-fluid formulation; thus, only one set of equati ...

Numerical Simulation of Two-Phase Flow for Nearshore Hydrodynamics under Wave-Current Interactions

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar, Amir Mehdi Razmi

Surf and swash zone hydrodynamics are complex, being composed of a highly energetic water-air mixture under periodically unsteady motion. Wave-current interactions have a major effect on the results of hydrodynamic simulations, and consequently on predicti ...

Towards oscillation-free implementation of the immersed boundary method with spectral-like methods

Jiannong Fang, Marc Diebold, Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins

It is known that, when the immersed boundary method (IBM) is implemented within spectral-like methods, the Gibbs oscillation seriously deteriorates the calculation of derivatives near the body surface. In this paper, a radial basis function (RBF) based smo ...
