Investigation of the rotor-stator interactions of a reduced-scale model 0.19 ν= pump-turbine in generating mode is presented for the maximum discharge operating condition. This operating point is chosen in order to have the most important rotor-stator inte ...

Actually little is known on the physical processes involved in avalanches or debris flows. We tackle this difficult issue by carrying out idealized experiments, where we focus on the motion of highly time-dependent flows of non-Newtonian fluids. The object ...
Water flow between porous grains varies widely depending on the water distribution in contacts between grains. The hydraulic behavior of contacts varies from highly conductive when water fills the contacts to a bottleneck to flow as water pressure drops an ...
The core dynamics of the Stokes eigenmodes subjected to satisfy no-slip boundary conditions on any 2D closed contour, or 3D surface, is shown to be characterized by a linear differential functional relationship between the vector potential and vorticity, $ ...
Phenomena such as large-scale shear, buoyancy, and the proximity to the ground surface significantly affect interactions among scales in atmospheric boundary layer turbulent flows. Hence, these phenomena impact parameters that enter subgrid-scale (SGS) par ...
We present a discontinuous Galerkin method on a fully unstructured grid for the modeling of unsteady incompressible fluid flows with free surfaces. The surface is modeled by embedding and represented by a level set. We discuss the discretization of the flo ...
Colloidal interfacial interactions in a capillary channel under different chemical and flow conditions were studied using confocal microscopy. Fluorescent latex microspheres (1.1 mu m) were employed as model colloids and the effects of ionic strength and f ...
In this paper, we seek similarity solutions to the shallow water (Saint-Venant) equations for describing the motion of a non-Boussinesq, gravity-driven current in an inertial regime. The current is supplied in fluid by a source placed at the inlet of a hor ...
In this paper we extend the recently introduced edge stabilization method to the case of non-conforming finite element approximations of the linearized Navier-Stokes equation. To get stability also in the convective dominated regime we add a term giving
An apparatus for retaining magnetic particles in self-assembled magnetic particle structures in a liquid flow, comprises a micro-channel (5) and magnets (1,2) for generating a substantially static magnetic field across the micro-channel (5) such that magne ...
