Natural slicks on Lake Geneva: From small-scale effects to large-scale formation and distribution
Low wind speeds (< 4 m/s) are ubiquitous in many water bodies, yet the physical processes occurring at the air-water interface in this range are poorly understood. A notable example is smooth patches on the water surface, known as natural slicks, formed wh ...
EPFL2023Thermal Effects on Flow and Salinity Distributions in Coastal Confined Aquifers
Coastal aquifers provide an important hydrologic connection between terrestrial freshwater and oceanic seawater. Understanding the water flow and salinity distributions in those aquifers is essential to manage seawater intrusion and regional groundwater re ...
AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION2020Interface-fitted moving mesh method for axisymmetric two-phase flow in microchannels
John Richard Thome, Gustavo Rabello Dos Anjos, Erik Gros
A boundary-fitted moving mesh scheme is presented for the simulation of two-phase flow in two-dimensional and axisymmetric geometries. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved using the finite element method, and the mini element is used to sa ...
Wiley2018On the Efficiency Alteration Mechanisms Due to Cavitation in Kaplan Turbines
François Avellan, Sebastián Camilo Leguizamón Sarmiento
A transport-equation-based homogeneous cavitation model previously assessed and validated against experimental data is used to investigate and explain the efficiency alteration mechanisms in Kaplan turbines. On the one hand, it is shown that the efficiency ...
2017Characterization of the velocity fields generated by flow initialization in the CFD simulation of multiphase flows
John Richard Thome, Mirco Magnini
Recent improvements in numerical algorithms for Eulerian-based CFD simulations of multiphase flows can now recover the exact balance between the pressure and surface tension terms within the momentum equation. This has led to the minimization of the so cal ...
Elsevier2016Three-dimensional model for multi-component reactive transport with variable density groundwater flow
PHWAT is a new model that couples a geochemical reaction model (PHREEQC-2) with a density-dependent groundwater flow and solute transport model (SEAWAT) using the split- operator approach. PHWAT was developed to simulate multi- component reactive transport ...
