Spectrally Filtered Imaging and Vacuum Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of Preheated Models in X2

This study presents calibrated vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopic measurements and filtered cyanogen violet band images for steel, cold graphite, and preheated graphite models at three reentry-relevant conditions in the X2 Expansion Tube. An analysis of thes ...

A shock front at the radio relic of Abell 2744

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Mathilde Jauzac, Céline Tchernin

Radio relics are Mpc-scale diffuse radio sources at the peripheries of galaxy clusters which are thought to trace outgoing merger shocks. We present XMM-Newton and Suzaku observations of the galaxy cluster Abell 2744 (z = 0.306), which reveal the presence ...

Signal analysis of an actively generated cavitation bubble in pressurized pipes for detection of wall stiffness drops

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Mohamed Farhat, Fadi Hachem, Alexandre Jean Pachoud

Due to the increasing production of volatile new renewable energies as solar and wind, storage hydropower plants have to operate under harsh operation conditions in order to stabilize the electricity grid. As a result, highly transient water pressures occu ...

Investigation of Nanosecond Pulse Dielectric Barrier Discharges in Still Air and in Transonic Flow by Optical Methods

Peter Ott, Pénélope Leyland, Philip Peschke, Sami Goekce

In the present study the interaction of nanosecond pulsed dielectric barrier discharge (ns-DBD) actuators with aerodynamic flow up to transonic velocities was investigated. The primary focus was on the influence of the flow on the discharge and the effects ...

Wave propagation in the vicinities of rock fractures under obliquely incident wave

Lyesse Laloui, Jian Zhao, Yang Zou, Jing Li

Though obliquely incident plane wave across rock fractures has been extensively investigated by theoretical analysis, the quantitative identification of each wave emerged from fractures has not been achieved either in numerical simulation or laboratory exp ...

Optical Thickness Measurements of Vacuum Ultraviolet Radiation in the X2 Expansion Tube

Umar Sheikh

Experiments were conducted in the X2 expansion tube to measure vacuum ultraviolet radiation from shock layers representative of reentry conditions at flight equivalent velocities of 10.0 and 12.2 km/s. Cylindrical models of varying lengths were used to mak ...

Asymmetric breaking size-segregation waves in dense granular free-surface flows

Christophe Ancey, Kasper van der Vaart

Debris and pyroclastic flows often have bouldery flow fronts, which act as a natural dam resisting further advance. Counter intuitively, these resistive fronts can lead to enhanced run-out, because they can be shouldered aside to form static levees that se ...

Efficient Absorbing Layers for Weakly Compressible Flows

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Zhen Gao

Seeking to develop efficient and accurate absorbing layers for the low-speed weakly compressible Navier-Stokes equations, we exploit the connection to the BGK-approximation to develop an absorbing layer with qualities similar to that of the perfectly match ...

An octree-based adaptive semi-Lagrangian VOF approach for simulating the displacement of free surfaces

Marco Picasso, Gilles Steiner, Viljami Henrikki Laurmaa

A numerical method based on an adaptive octree space discretization for the simulation of displacement of free surfaces is proposed and applied to 3D free surface flow problems. A VOF approach is combined with a mass-conserving semi-Lagrangian time-steppin ...

Analytical analysis of slow and fast pressure waves in a two-dimensional cellular solid with fluid-filled cells

Vladimir Dorodnitsyn, Bart Van Damme

Wave propagation in cellular and porous media is widely studied due to its abundance in nature and industrial applications. Biot's theory for open-cell media predicts the existence of two simultaneous pressure waves, distinguished by its velocity. A fast w ...
