Gyroid as a novel approach to suppress vortex shedding and mitigate induced vibration

Thomas Antoine Nicolas Berger, Mohamed Farhat

The present study uncovers how a Gyroid-structured extension, attached to a hydrofoil trailing edge, may prevent the formation of Karman vortices and remarkably reduce vortex-induced vibration (VIV). The case study is a blunt truncated NACA 0009 hydrofoil ...

Noise-induced transitions past the onset of a steady symmetry-breaking bifurcation: The case of the sudden expansion

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Yves-Marie François Ducimetière

We consider fluid flows, governed by the Navier-Stokes equations, subject to a steady symmetry-breaking bifurcation and forced by a weak noise acting on a slow timescale. By generalizing the multiple-scale weakly nonlinear expansion technique employed in t ...

Stability of a liquid layer draining around a horizontal cylinder: Interplay of capillary and gravity forces

François Gallaire, Shahab Eghbali, Simeon Vladimirov Djambov

We study the drainage of a viscous liquid film coating the outside of a solid horizontal cylinder, where gravity acts vertically. We focus on the limit of large Ohnesorge numbers Oh, where inertia is negligible compared to viscous effects. We first study t ...

A Fast Hybrid Pressure-Correction Algorithm for Simulating Incompressible Flows by Projection Methods

Jiannong Fang

To enforce the conservation of mass principle, a pressure Poisson equation arises in the numerical solution of incompressible fluid flow using the pressure-based segregated algorithms such as projection methods. For unsteady flows, the pressure Poisson equ ...

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

Haoran Shi

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 ...

Visualization and modelling of dynamic flow in fibrous preforms for liquid composite molding

Helena Luisa Teixido Pedarros

Nowadays, Liquid Composite Molding techniques are often used to manufacture high quality fiber reinforced composite parts at a relatively low cost. These involve an infiltration process, in which a liquid resin is forced to ingress into a dry fibrous porou ...

Measurement and modelling of dynamic fluid saturation in carbon reinforcements

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Guillaume Clément Broggi, Helena Luisa Teixido Pedarros

We propose a methodology to monitor the progressive saturation of a non-translucent unidirectional carbon fabric stack through its thickness by means of X-ray radiography and extract the dynamic saturation curves using image analysis. Four constant flow ra ...

Numerical analysis of apparatus-induced dispersion for density-dependent solute transport in porous media

David Andrew Barry, Hong Zhang

The effects of apparatus-induced dispersion on nonuniform, density-dependent flow in a cylindrical soil column were investigated using a finite-element model. To validate the model, the results with an analytical solution and laboratory column test data we ...

Small-scale dynamo with finite correlation times

Salim Bennouna

Fluctuation dynamos occur in most turbulent plasmas in astrophysics and are the prime candidates for amplifying and maintaining cosmic magnetic fields. A few analytical models exist to describe their behavior, but they are based on simplifying assumptions. ...

Three-dimensional micro-CT images of UV-frozen flow fronts recorded at different flow regimes

Véronique Michaud, Jacobus Gerardus Rudolph Staal

Segmented micro-CT images of flow fronts produced by UV-flow freezing. Front morphologies correspond to capilary-dominated, equilibrated and viscous-dominated flow regimes. ...

Symmetry-reduced low-dimensional representation of large-scale dynamics in the asymptotic suction boundary layer

Omid Ashtari

An important feature of turbulent boundary layers are persistent large-scale coherent structures in the flow. Here, we use Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD), a data-driven technique designed to detect spatio-temporal coherence, to construct optimal low-dime ...

The effects of a spur dike location in a 90° sharp channel bend on flow field: Focus on anisotropy degree and anisotropy nature

Anton Schleiss

In this research, the flow features around a spur dike located in a 90˚ sharp channel bend have been studied experimentally in detail. Results showed that the effects of the spur dike on upstream sections increased by increasing α (spur dike location from ...

Boundary-layer approach to the linear karren instability

François Gallaire, Simeon Vladimirov Djambov

The present paper concerns the linear fate of transverse perturbations in a gravity-driven, thin-film flow over a soluble substrate. We propose a reduced-order model, based on a boundary-layer treatment of the solute transport and a depth-integration of th ...

Clogging of riverbed substrates by fine sediment

Romain Maxime Dubuis

Riverbeds represent the habitat of numerous aquatic species. Exchanges between the groundwater, the hyporheic zone and the surface flow are also essential for river ecosystems. Fine sediment transported by rivers deposits inside or on top of the bed and mo ...

Interactions of Cavitation Bubbles with Deformable Interfaces

Armand Baptiste Sieber

Cavitation is a topic that has long been of interest due to the large and growing range of applications associated with it. This is mainly because the collapse of cavitation bubbles releases a considerable amount of energy into the surrounding environment. ...

Columnlike free-interface flows: symmetry breaking and linear instability

Dynamic environmental flows using hydrodynamic-based solutions for sustainable hydropower

Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona

Water diversions from rivers and torrents for anthropic uses of the resource alter the natural flow regime. As a measure, environmental flows have been prescribed and often are enforced by law to follow policies (e.g., minimal flow, proportional redistribu ...

Rock-Flow Cell Parameters Evaluation Using Ultrasound Doppler Velocimetry
