Stability of a liquid layer draining around a horizontal cylinder: Interplay of capillary and gravity forces
François Gallaire, Shahab Eghbali, Simeon Vladimirov Djambov
We study the drainage of a viscous liquid film coating the outside of a solid horizontal cylinder, where gravity acts vertically. We focus on the limit of large Ohnesorge numbers Oh, where inertia is negligible compared to viscous effects. We first study t ...
Amer Physical Soc2024Birth and ascent of buoyant hydraulic fractures
Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri
Hydraulic fracturing treatments are often used in petroleum and other industries to increase the permeability of rock formations and occur naturally as magmatic intrusions. The resulting fractures, propagating perpendicularly to the minimum in-situ stress ...
2023Columnlike free-interface flows: symmetry breaking and linear instability
This thesis is dedicated to the analysis of a subclass of interfacial flows, columnlike free-interface flows, from two view angles: (i) the symmetry breaking under geometry-induced or external forces, (ii) their stability against infinitesimal disturbances ...
EPFL2023Gravitational effects on theemergence,propagation,andarrestofhydraulicfractures
Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri, Carlo Peruzzo, Dmitriy Garagash
Hydraulic fractures are driven by an internal fluid pressure exceeding the minimum compres- sive stress, propagating in a direction perpendicular to the latter. This class of tensile fractures has gained interest over the last fifty years due to the develo ...
2023Propagation of planar three-dimensional buoyant hydraulic fractures
Hydraulic fractures are driven by an internal fluid pressure exceeding the minimum compressive stress, propagating in a direction perpendicular to the latter. This class of tensile fractures has gained interest over the last fifty years due to the developm ...
EPFL2023Selectively permeable microcapsules
Microcapsules are appealing containers for delivering active ingredients, such as drugs and cosmetics, or conducting chemical and biological reactions on a small scale. To control the timing and location of release of these encapsulants, the shells of micr ...
EPFL2023Strong and micro lensing in distant quasars
Most large galaxies contain Super Massive Black Holes at their centers, drawing matter nearby to form swirling accretion disks emitting electromagnetic radiation. These are Active Galactic Nuclei. The brightest quasars are the most luminous Universe object ...
EPFL2023Exact quantum conformal symmetry, its spontaneous breakdown, and gravitational Weyl anomaly
The classical Lagrangian of the Standard Model enjoys the symmetry of the full conformal group if the mass of the Higgs boson is put to zero. This is a hint that conformal symmetry may play a fundamental role in the ultimate theory describing nature. The o ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2023Spectroscopic Confirmation of CEERS NIRCam-selected Galaxies at z similar or equal to 8-10
We present JWST/NIRSpec prism spectroscopy of seven galaxies selected from Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) survey NIRCam imaging with photometric redshifts z(phot) > 8. We measure emission line redshifts of z = 7.65 and 8.64 for two galaxies ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2023Seismic events miss important kinematically governed grain scale mechanisms during shear failure of porous rock
Catastrophic failure in brittle, porous materials initiates when smaller-scale fractures localise along an emergent fault zone in a transition from stable crack growth to dynamic rupture. Due to the rapid nature of this critical transition, the precise mic ...
