Numerical simulation of immiscible incompressible viscous, viscoelastic and elastic multiphase flows

A unified numerical framework is presented for the modelling of multiphasic viscoelasticand elastic flows. The rheologies considered range from incompressible Newtonian orOldroyd-B viscoelastic fluids to Neo-Hookean elastic solids. The model is formulatedi ...

On the bulk compressibility of close-packed particles and their composites

Andreas Mortensen, Maria Gabriella Tarantino

The hydrostatic compaction of composites comprising a closely-packed particle-bed filled by a dense matrix is measured experimentally using a fluid-pressurization apparatus. A highly compliant polymer or pure aluminium are infiltrated into preforms of pack ...

Dynamic response of a compressible binary fluid mixture

Binary fluids are present in a wide variety of systems at microscales, such as microfluidic devices containing drops, fluids with air bubbles trapped in them, and devices designed to mix fluids or to make two fluid substances react. Microfluidics devices a ...

Two-fluid plasma model for radial Langmuir probes as a converging nozzle with sonic choked flow, and sonic passage to supersonic flow

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne

Using the Lambert function, Guittienne et al. [Phys. Plasmas 25, 093519 (2018)] derived two-fluid solutions for radial Langmuir probes in collisionless and isothermal plasma. In this Brief Communication, we point out the close analogy with classical compre ...

Strain-induced network chains damage in carbon black filled EPDM

Nicolas Candau, Oguzhan Oguz

This paper presents an experimental method to follow in-situ the chains network alteration of filled vulcanized rubbers induced by deformation. Macroscopic damage is first investigated on a series of EPDM by quantifying void fraction via Digital Image Corr ...

Compressible and Electrically Conducting Fibers for Large‐Area Sensing of Pressures

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Fabien Sorin, Alexis Gérald Page, Yunpeng Qu, Andreas Leber, Dong Yan, Shahrzad Shadman Yazdi

Flexible pressure sensors offer a wide application range in health monitoring and human–machine interaction. However, their implementation in functional textiles and wearable electronics is limited because existing devices are usually small, 0D elements, a ...

Performance potential of gas foil thrust bearings enhanced with spiral grooves

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat

The upscaling of turbomachinery using gas foil thrust bearings is limited because of their limited load capacity and the thermal issues linked with very thin film thickness. The improvement potential of spiral grooves manufactured on the top-foil of such b ...

Anisotropic behaviour of shallow opalinus clay

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci, Alberto Minardi

Opalinus Clay shale, the selected host geomaterial of a high-level radioactive waste repository in Switzerland, was sourced at shallow depth in a borehole in the northern part of the country. Pairs of specimens, retrieved from the same depth were prepared ...

On isothermality in some commonly used plug flow reactors for X-ray based investigations of catalysts

Dragos-Constantin Stoian, Mark Adrian Newton

We compare two reactor setups commonly used to make operando measurements of catalyst behavior using X-rays in terms of the degree to which they may be considered to yield radial and axial isothermality. We use axial and radial Cu K-edge XANES mapping of c ...

Energy Dissipation in Suspended Microchannel Resonators: theoretical, numerical and experimental validation

Andrea Gerbino

Suspended Microchannel Resonators (SMRs) are hollow resonant structures containing an embedded U-shaped microfluidic channel. Theoretical and experimental results have proved that in these devices the energy dissipation is a non-monotonic function of the f ...
