Plunging Circular Jets: Experimental Characterization of Dynamic Pressures Near the Stagnation Zone
Giovanni De Cesare, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Gregoire Aurelien Marie Jamet
Spillways are a requirement for dams’ safety, mainly preventing overtopping during floods. A common spillway solution involves plunging jets, which dissipate a considerable flow energy in the plunge pool. Energy dissipation has to occur in a controlled man ...
2022Adiabatic two-phase pressure drop of carbon dioxide in different channel orientations
Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Rémi Revellin, David Schmid
Adiabatic pressure drop measurements of two-phase Carbon Dioxide (CO2) have been carried out in horizontal, vertical upward and downward direction with a dedicated test facility at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). A database of more t ...
2022Experimental and Numerical Study on Scour-Protection Methods in a Stilling Basin: Case Study of Chancy-Pougny Dam
Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Erik Bollaert, Sabine Chamoun, Davide Wüthrich
Chancy-Pougny is a run-of-river dam on the Swiss–French border constructed in the early 1920s. Since its commissioning, the operation of the four spillway gates has been responsible for a progressive erosion of the stilling basin. The future scour potentia ...
2021Temporal and spatial evolution of cavitating bubbles and coherent structures in a confined submerged jet shear layer
Sebastián Camilo Leguizamón Sarmiento, Yuchuan Wang
Purpose The study aims to display the bubbles' evolution in the shear layer and their relationship with the pressure fluctuations. Furthermore, the coherent structures of the first six modes are extracted, in order to provide insight into their temporal an ...
