By combining methods of kinetic and density functional theory, we present a description of molecular fluids which accounts for their microscopic structure and thermodynamic properties as well as their hydrodynamic behavior. We focus on the evolution of the ...
Accuracy is critical if we are to trust simulation predictions. In settings such as fluid- structure interaction it is all the more important to obtain reliable results to understand, for example, the impact of pathologies on blood flows in the cardiovascula ...
Large-eddy simulations (LES) and Reynolds-averaged numerical simulations (RANS) are performed for the flow and scalar dispersion through a strongly curved open-channel bend. The aim of the study is to investigate the performance of both LES and RANS as reg ...
The present work is a contribution to the physical analysis and numerical simulation of the pressure surges in hydraulic machinery and connected conduit systems. Localized hydrodynamic instabilities including cavitation are prone to interact with the entir ...
The flow hydrodynamics in a low specific speed radial pump-turbine reduced scale model is experimentally investigated under off-design operating conditions in generating mode. Wall pressure measurements, in the stator, synchronized with high-speed flow vis ...

In order to unravel the main flow and secondary flow characteristics and the role of turbulence in a curved single-bend open-channel flow, large-eddy simulations (LES) and Reynolds-averaged numerical simulations (RANS) were carried out and compared with ex ...
Large-eddy simulation LES is performed of a curved open-channel flow over topography based on the laboratory experiment by Blanckaert _“Topographic steering, flow circulation, velocity redistribution and bed topography in sharp meander bends,” Water Reso ...
We introduce a novel technique for grabbing water with a flexible solid. This new passive pipetting mechanism was inspired by floating flowers and relies purely on the coupling of the elasticity of thin plates and the hydrodynamic forces at the liquid inte ...
The Hamiltonian structures of several hybrid kinetic-fluid models are identified explicitly, upon considering collisionless Vlasov dynamics for the hot particles interacting with a bulk fluid. After presenting different pressure-coupling schemes for an ord ...
