Partial slip at fluid-solid boundaries by multiparticle collision dynamics simulations

Giuseppe Foffi, Maxim Belushkin, Samuel Hanot

The understanding of the exact boundary conditions at the interface between a solid and a fluid is becoming increasingly important, as the limitations of the no-slip boundary condition are becoming apparent, especially in micro- and nanofluidics applicatio ...

Effect of pre-aerated approach flow on delector-generated jets

Michael Pfister

Flip buckets are terminal spillway elements, generating free jets for energy dissipation. Deflectors are an alternative to flip buckets with constructional ease yet of similar hydraulic features. A first experimental study published at the 33rd IAHR Congre ...

Analysis And Optimization Of Robin-Robin Partitioned Procedures In Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems

Fabio Nobile, Christian Vergara

In the solution of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems, partitioned procedures are modular algorithms that involve separate fluid and structure solvers that interact in an iterative framework through the exchange of suitable transmission conditions ...

Coupling Biot and Navier-Stokes equations for modelling fluid-poroelastic media interaction

Alfio Quarteroni, Annalisa Quaini

The interaction between a fluid and a poroelastic structure is a complex problem that couples the Navier-Stokes equations with the Biot system. The finite element approximation of this problem is involved due to the fact that both subproblems are indefinit ...

Do Microscopic Organisms Feel Turbulent Flows?

Alfred Johny Wüest, Miki Hondzo

Microscopic organisms in aquatic environments are continuously exposed to a variety of physical and chemical conditions. Traditionally, it is accepted that due to their small size the physiology of microscopic organisms is not affected by the moving fluid ...
