Review of parameters influencing the structural response of a submerged body under cavitation conditions

Submerged structures that operate under extreme flows are prone to suffer large scale cavitation attached to their surfaces. Under such conditions the added mass effects differ from the expected ones in pure liquids. Moreover, the existence of small gaps b ...

The motion of a 2D pendulum in a channel subjected to an incoming flow

François Gallaire, Andrea Fani

The flow around a tethered cylinder subjected to an incoming flow transverse to its main axis and confined in a channel is investigated by means of global stability analysis of the full coupled body-fluid problem. When the cylinder is strongly confined (ra ...

DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND CHARACTERIZATION OF AFM TIPS FOR TENSIONS MEASUREMENT AND MANIPULATION OF FLUID INTERFACES

Marta Jole Ildelfonsa Airaghi Leccardi

Dynamic wetting phenomena lack of a proper qualitative and quantitative characterization, especially at the micro and nanoscale. The project focuses on the design and fabrication of AFM tips capable of measuring forces and energies involved in wetting phen ...

An Animal-Specific FSI Model of the Abdominal Aorta in Anesthetized Mice

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Bram Trachet, Patrick Segers

Recent research has revealed that angiotensin II-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm in mice can be related to medial ruptures occurring in the vicinity of abdominal side branches. Nevertheless a thorough understanding of the biomechanics near abdominal side ...

Recent advances in the simulation of particle-laden flows

Marco Ramaioli

A substantial number of algorithms exists for the simulation of moving particles suspended in fluids. However, finding the best method to address a particular physical problem is often highly non-trivial and depends on the properties of the particles and t ...

FPM SIMULATIONS OF A HIGH SPEED WATER JET VALIDATION WITH CFD AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS

François Avellan, Ebrahim Jahanbakhsh, Christian Vessaz

The present paper reports the development of Finite Particle Method (FPM) in the framework of a high-speed water jet simulation. The FPM kernel is used to improve the consistency of standard SPH for non-uniform particle distribution. The time integration i ...

Flow simulation of a Pelton bucket using finite volume particle method

François Avellan, Ebrahim Jahanbakhsh, Christian Vessaz

The objective of the present paper is to perform an accurate numerical simulation of the high-speed water jet impinging on a Pelton bucket. To reach this goal, the Finite Volume Particle Method (FVPM) is used to discretize the governing equations. FVPM is ...

Raindrop Impact on Saturated Soil

David Andrew Barry, Mohsen Cheraghi

Soil erosion is an important environmental phenomenon that causes many side effects such as reduction of soil productivity in the fields and transportation of pollutants to non-contaminated areas. Extensive well designed and controlled flume experiments in ...

Improved Lighthill fish swimming model for bio-inspired robots: Modeling, computational aspects and experimental comparisons

Auke Ijspeert, Mathieu Porez

The best known analytical model of swimming was originally developed by Lighthill and is known as the large amplitude elongated body theory (LAEBT). Recently, this theory has been improved and adapted to robotics through a series of studies ranging from hy ...
