Silt motion simulation using finite volume particle method

François Avellan, Ebrahim Jahanbakhsh, Christian Vessaz

In this paper, we present a 3-D FVPM which features rectangular top-hat kernels. With this method, interaction vectors are computed exactly and efficiently. We introduce a new method to enforce the no-slip boundary condition. With this boundary enforcement ...

Relative influence of mechanical and meteorological factors on avalanche release depth distributions: An application to French Alps

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume

The evaluation of avalanche release depth distributions represents a major challenge for hazard management. This paper presents a rigorous formalism in which these distributions are expressed through a coupling of mechanical and meteorological factors. Con ...

Boundary formation and maintenance in tissue development

Andrew Charles Oates

The formation and maintenance of boundaries between neighbouring groups of embryonic cells is vital for development because groups of cells with distinct functions must often be kept physically separated. Furthermore, because cells at the boundary often ta ...

Interaction of large scale flow structures with gyrokinetic turbulence

Laurent Villard, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Ben McMillan, Thibaut Vernay

Shear flows have a profound influence on turbulence-driven transport in tokamaks. The introduction of arbitrary initial flow profiles into the code ORB5 [Jolliet et al., Comput. Phys. Commun. 177, 409 (2007)] allows the convenient study of how flows on all ...

An ALE-based numerical technique for modeling sedimentary basin evolution featuring layer deformations and faults

Alfio Quarteroni, Adelmo Cristiano Innocenza Malossi, Andrea Villa

In this paper we present a numerical tool to simulate dynamics of stratified sedimentary basins, i.e. depressions on the Earth’s surface filled by sediments. The basins are usually complicated by crustal deformations and faulting of the sediments. The bala ...

Effects of solidification kinetics on microstructure formation in binary Sn-Cu solder alloys

Michel Rappaz, Tina Ventura

Three binary Sn-Cu solder alloys of near-eutectic composition have been directionally solidified at different growth rates. The competition between primary tetragonal Sn cells/dendrites and eutectic is interpreted with the coupled zone concept. It is also ...

Microstructure Formation in Sn-Cu-Ni Solder Alloys

Michel Rappaz, Milan Felberbaum, Tina Ventura

A systematic study of the solidification mechanisms of binary Sn-Cu and ternary Sn-Cu-Ni alloys has been carried out. It is found that Sn-Cu is a weakly-irregular eutectic system with Cu6Sn5 as the leading phase. Interestingly, two different eutectic morph ...

Petrophysical properties of the root zone of sheeted dikes in the ocean crust: A case study from Hole ODP/IODP 1256D, Eastern Equatorial Pacific

Marie Estelle Solange Violay

ODP (Ocean Drilling Program)/IODP (Integrated Ocean Drilling Program) Site 1256 is located on the Cocos Plate in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean, in a 15. Ma old oceanic lithosphere formed at the EPR during a period of superfast spreading (> 200 mm/yr ...

Strain softening behavior in a particle-containing copper alloy

Mingxing Guo

The strain softening behavior of a particle-containing copper alloy and the associated microstructure changes were investigated as a function of strain rate (epsilon) over dot and analyzed by modeling. It is shown that, increasing strain rate (epsilon) ove ...

Structural reactivation in plate tectonics controlled by olivine crystal anisotropy

Roland Logé

Reactivation of structures inherited from previous collisional or rifting events, especially lithospheric-scale faults, is a major feature of plate tectonics. Its expression ranges from continental break-up along ancient collisional belts to linear arrays ...
