The effects of a spur dike location in a 90° sharp channel bend on flow field: Focus on anisotropy degree and anisotropy nature

In this research, the flow features around a spur dike located in a 90˚ sharp channel bend have been studied experimentally in detail. Results showed that the effects of the spur dike on upstream sections increased by increasing α (spur dike location from ...

Vortex interaction in patches of randomly placed emergent cylinders

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Ana Margarida Da Costa Ricardo

The flow field of multiple-cylinder configurations exhibits complex interactions between shear layers, vortexes and wakes. For high stem-Reynolds numbers, the flow is turbulent and, low and intermediate areal number-densities of cylinders, and turbulence i ...

On the coupling between an ideal fluid and immersed particles

Tudor Ratiu, Mathieu Desbrun

In this paper, we present finite-dimensional particle-based models for fluids which respect a number of geometric properties of the Euler equations of motion. Specifically, we use Lagrange-Poincare reduction to understand the coupling between a fluid and a ...

Spatio-temporal surface shear stress variability in live plant canopies and cube arrays

Michael Lehning, Katherine Colby Leonard, Benjamin Andreas Walter

This study presents spatiotemporally-resolved measurements of surface shear-stress τ s in live plant canopies and rigid wooden cube arrays to identify the sheltering capability against sediment erosion of these different roughness elements. Live plants hav ...

Spatio-Temporal Surface Shear-Stress Variability in Live Plant Canopies and Cube Arrays

Michael Lehning, Katherine Colby Leonard, Benjamin Andreas Walter

This study presents spatiotemporally-resolved measurements of surface shear-stress tau (s) in live plant canopies and rigid wooden cube arrays to identify the sheltering capability against sediment erosion of these different roughness elements. Live plants ...

Wind Tunnel Studies of Shear Stress Partitioning in Live Plant Canopies

Benjamin Andreas Walter

The earth's surface is permanently exposed to the atmosphere and accordingly to strong wind forces in many regions. Aerodynamic entrainment, transport and redeposition of sand, soil or snow are able to considerably reshape the surface morphology and influe ...

Geodesic flows on semidirect-product Lie groups: geometry of singular measure-valued solutions

Cesare Tronci

The EPDiff equation (or dispersionless Camassa-Holm equation in 1D) is a well known example of geodesic motion on the Diff group of smooth invertible maps (diffeomorphisms). Its recent two-component extension governs geodesic motion on the semidirect produ ...
