A conveyor belt experimental setup to study the internal dynamics of granular avalanches

Christophe Ancey, Tomás Alfredo Trewhela Palacios

This paper shows how a conveyor belt setup can be used to study the dynamics of stationary granular flows. To visualise the flow within the granular bulk and, in particular, determine its composition and the velocity field, we used the refractive index mat ...

Scanning PIV of turbulent flows over and through rough porous beds using refractive index matching

Christophe Ancey, Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau

This paper presents image velocimetry measurements on turbulent flows adjacent to a permeable bed made of randomly packed glass particles. For measuring flow velocities inside the bed, the refractive index of the glass particles was matched with that of th ...

A combined hydrothermal gasification - solid oxide fuel cell system for sustainable production of algal biomass and energy

François Maréchal, Christian Ludwig, Jan Van Herle, Shivom Sharma, Hossein Madi, Eya Nicodeme

Hydrothermal gasification (HTG) is a promising technology that allows the recovery of nutrients from wet biomass with simultaneous production of an energy-rich gas. In this work, wastewater effluent (leachate) obtained from a composter sanitary system oper ...

A Numerical Model For The Simulation Of Shallow Laser Surface Melting

Marco Picasso, Alexandre Caboussat, Alexandre Masserey, Julien Hess

We present a multi-physics model for the approximation of the coupled system formed by the temperature-dependent Navier-Stokes equations with free surfaces. The main application is the industrial process of shallow laser surface melting (SLSM), for laser p ...

Vortex siphon - from 1:1 scale physical model to SPH simulation and prototype

Giovanni De Cesare

The rail link between Geneva Cornavin Station, Eaux-Vives Station and Annemasse (CEVA) is currently under construction including a cut-and-cover tunnel built by slurry walls located in the alluvium of the Foron River. The covered trench cuts the groundwate ...

Enhancing Mass Transport in Redox Flow Batteries by Tailoring Flow Field and Electrode Design

Christopher Raymond Dennison

In this study, we investigate the mass transport effects of various flow field designs paired with raw and laser perforated carbon paper electrodes in redox flow batteries (RFBs). Previously, we observed significant increases in peak power density and limi ...

An adjoint-based approach to the optimal control of separated flows

Edouard Boujo

Flow separation is relevant to many industrial applications, since it is detrimental to the aerodynamic performance of vehicles, induces vibrations in mechanical structures, but can also contribute to improve mixing in combustion devices. In this thesis, t ...

Jets opposing turbidity currents and open channel flows

Anton Schleiss, Christoph Oehy

Hydraulic jumps at the tail end of spillways are usually induced by baffle blocks or other obstacles. Such jumps can also be induced by jets that oppose the main flow. Another application is to back up turbidity currents in reservoirs by means of opposing ...

On the Applicability of Oil and Dye Technique During the Design Phase and Operation of Experimental Rigs

Alexandros Terzis

In this paper, an oil and dye flow visualization technique applied in two different cases of experimental testing is described, namely a single fan in crossflow and the wake of a compressor cascade. In both cases, the mixture of paint was prepared using a ...

Free-surface fluid dynamics on moving domains

Thomas Zimmermann, Matthias Preisig

This paper presents a Lagrangian approach for the simulation of two-dimensional free-surface flows along with a systematic validation. Fluid-flow is traditionally modeled using an Eulerian description in association with finite differences and, more recent ...

Mass-based depth and velocity scales for gravity currents and related flows

Anton Schleiss

Gravity driven flows on inclines can be caused by cold, saline or turbid inflows into water bodies. Another example are cold downslope winds, which are caused by cooling of the atmosphere at the lower boundary. In a well-known contribution, Ellison and Tur ...

Unsteady Numerical Simulations of the Flow Related to the Unstable Energy-Discharge Characteristic of a Medium Specific Speed Double Suction Pump

François Avellan, Philippe Dupont

Regions of positive slope in the pressure-discharge characteristics can result in a reduction or even lack of damping of system instabilities. They are therefore one of the major concerns in design and operation of centrifugal pumps as they are limiting th ...

Interfacial interactions and colloid retention under steady flows in a capillary channel

Dani Or

Colloidal interfacial interactions in a capillary channel under different chemical and flow conditions were studied using confocal microscopy. Fluorescent latex microspheres (1.1 mu m) were employed as model colloids and the effects of ionic strength and f ...
