Impacts are central to the origin and evolution of planets of the Solar System. The shapes of craters, which can reach up to 1,000 km in diameter on the Moon, provide critical information on the large-scale dynamics of the impact and related shock. Mineral ...
Be it to aerate a glass of wine before tasting, to accelerate a chemical reaction or to cultivate cells in suspension, the “swirling” (or orbital shaking) of a container ensures good mixing and gas exchange in a simple and intuitive way. Despite being used ...
Magnetized plasma discharges generated by a planar resonant rf network are investigated. A regime transition is observed above a magnetic field threshold, associated with rf waves propagating in the plasma and which present the characteristics of whistler ...
We consider the critical focusing wave equation (−∂2t+Δ)u+u5=0 in R1+3 and prove the existence of energy class solutions which are of the form u(t,x)=tμ2W(tμx)+η(t,x) in the forward lightcone {(t,x)∈R×R3:|x|≤t,t≫1} where W(x)=(1+13|x|2)−12 is the ground st ...
We investigate numerically the transient linear growth of three-dimensional (3D) perturbations in a homogeneous time-evolving mixing layer in order to identify which perturbations are optimal in terms of their kinetic energy gain over a finite, predetermin ...
When water flows through hydraulic turbomachines, the local pressure can become low enough to vaporize the water and create vapor cavities. This phenomenon is called cavitation. When the cavities collapse, shock waves and liquid jets traveling through the ...
elements. In addition to a prismatic reference channel, 41 different configurations of rectangular bank cavities have been investigated. The purpose was to study the effect of large-scale bank roughness on steady and unsteady flows. The macro-roughness of ...
In open channels, a sudden rise in water elevation generates a positive surge. Positive surges are commonly observed in man-made channels (Bazin 1865, Treske 1994) and a natural occurrence is the tidal bore in macro-tidal estuaries (Tricker 1965, Chanson 2 ...
This study considers the prediction of the degree of asymmetry in the circumferential distribution of the liquid film in the tube cross section of horizontal annular gas-liquid two-phase flow, endemic of the lower region of this flow regime near the strati ...
We introduce a multi-dimensional point-wise multi-domain hybrid Fourier-Continuation/WENO technique (FC-WENO) that enables high-order and non-oscillatory solution of systems of nonlinear conservation laws, and essentially dispersionless, spectral, solution ...
