Snow avalanches are a major hazard in mountainous areas and have a significant impact on infrastructures, economy and tourism of such regions. Obtaining a thorough understanding on the pressure exerted by avalanches on infrastructures is crucial for the de ...
In plunging jets and at hydraulic jumps, large amounts of air bubbles are entrained at the impingement of the liquid jet and receiving body (BIN, 1993; ERVINE, 1998; CHANSON, 2009a). Air is entrapped and advected into a turbulent shear layer with strong in ...
Concentrated solar energy is an ideal energy source for hightemperature energy conversion processes such as concentrated solar power generation, solar thermochemical fuel production, and solar driven hightemperature electrolysis. Indirectly irradiated sola ...
Double emulsions are often used as containers to perform high throughput screening assays and as templates for capsules. These applications require double emulsions to be mechanically stable such that they do not coalesce during processing and storage. A p ...
Dam failures, impulse waves, tsunamis and storm surges are disasters that challenge humanity, often leading to massive casualties and important economic losses. These events generate highly unsteady flow conditions in the form of surges or turbulent bores, ...
Capsules are often employed to prolong the shelf-life of active ingredients such as many drugs, food additives, or cosmetic substances because they delay their oxidation or prevent interactions with molecules contained in the surrounding. If designed prope ...
Flexible polymer additives are known to reduce the energy dissipation and friction drag in turbulent flows. As the fluid elasticity increases, the flow undergoes several stages of transitions. Much attention in the area has been focused on the onset of dra ...
A single-hole probe was designed to measure steady and periodic flows with high fluctuation amplitudes and with minimal flow intrusion. Because of its high aspect ratio, estimations showed that the probe resonates at a frequency two orders of magnitude low ...
We propose a method for modelling spatially dependent functional data, based on regression with differential regularization. The regularizing term enables to include problem-specific information about the spatio-temporal variation of phenomenon under study ...
A greedy nonintrusive reduced order method (ROM) is proposed for parameterized time-dependent problems with an emphasis on problems in fluid dynamics. The nonintrusive ROM (NIROM) bases on a two-level proper orthogonal decomposition to extract temporal and ...
