The dam-break problem for viscous fluids in the high-capillary-number limit

Christophe Ancey, Steve Cochard, Nicolas Andreini

Experiments were undertaken to investigate dam-break flows where a finite volume of highly viscous fluid (glucose with viscosity μ ≈ 350 Pa s) maintained behind a lock gate was released into a horizontal or inclined flume. The resulting sequence of flow-de ...

Experimental investigation of the spreading of viscoplastic fluids on inclined planes

Christophe Ancey, Steve Cochard

We report experimental results related to the dam-break problem for viscoplastic fluids. Using image processing techniques, we were able to accurately reconstruct the free-surface evolution of fixed volumes of fluid suddenly released a plane. We used Carbo ...

The dam-break problem for Herschel-Bulkley viscoplastic fluids down steep flumes

Christophe Ancey, Steve Cochard

In this paper we investigate the dam-break problem for viscoplastic (Herschel- Bulkley) fluids down a sloping flume: a fixed volume of fluid initially contained in a reservoir is released onto a slope and flows driven by gravitational forces until these fo ...
