2D Oscillating Hydrofoil

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Ausoni

This paper presents a validation of numerical simulations in case of a forced oscillating hydrofoil. As a representative case study for vibrating blade in hydraulics machines, a 2D NACA 0009 oscillating hydrofoil is considered. Pressure coefficients from e ...

Modelling and numerical simulation for yacht design

Alfio Quarteroni, Nicola Parolini

In the past few years, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has become an essential tool in the design and optimization of racing sailboats and in particular America's Cup yachts. The prevalent role of CFD in the design process is demonstrated by the number ...

On the behavior of spherical and non-spherical grain assemblies, its modeling and numerical simulation

Lionel Pournin

This thesis deals with the numerical modeling and simulation of granular media with large populations of non-spherical particles. Granular media are highly pervasive in nature and play an important role in technology. They are present in fields as diverse ...

How (Un)Fair are the ABR Binary Schemes, Actually?

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Milan Vojnovic

It is well known that a simple binary feedback rate--based congestion avoidance scheme cannot ensure a fairness goal of the Available Bit Rate (ABR) service, namely, max-min fairness. In this paper we show how the rates are distributed for the network cons ...

A numerical simulation on a pneumatic air table realized by micro-EDM

Nico de Rooij

This paper presents a numerical simulation of the flow field on a one-dimensional pneumatic actuator. Unlike conventional actuators, this model uses dynamic pressure instead of friction to drive a slider. The objective of this simulation is to know the det ...

Numerical simulation of free surface flows

Jacques Rappaz, Marco Picasso, Vincent Maronnier

A numerical model is presented for the simulation of complex fluid flows with free surfaces. The unknowns are the velocity and pressure fields in the liquid region, together with a function defining the volume fraction of liquid. Although the mathematical ...
