Influence of confinement on obstacle-free turbulent wakes

François Gallaire, Luca Biancofiore

Large-eddy simulations (LESs) of obstacle-free wakes, in a channel like geometry with an homogeneous transverse direction, are carried out in order to investigate the influence of confinement on turbulent wakes. The numerical solver makes use of a multi-do ...

Global two-fluid simulations of tokamak SOL turbulence

Paolo Ricci, Federico David Halpern, Annamaria Mosetto

We present non-linear self-consistent global simulations of the SOL plasma dynamics using the Global Braginskii Solver (GBS) code. The code solves on the drift-reduced Braginkii equations, with cold ions. Studied originally for the simulation of the Simple ...

Analysis of time compression approximations

David Andrew Barry, Marc Parlange

TCA, time compression approximation, is a practical and often quite accurate tool to predict postponding infiltration for field applications. A modified approximation (MTCA) can be used just as easily and, in general, will reduce the error by about 50%. Th ...

Numerical investigation of particle-laden thermally driven turbulent flows in enclosure

Riccardo Puragliesi

Nowadays, the global increase of energy demand and the necessity to satisfy high safety standards have led engineers and scientists to focus their efforts in order to understand and describe fundamental phenomena that are crucial for a correct design of th ...

Local and Global Eulerian Gyrokinetic Simulations of Microturbulence in Realistic Geometry with Applications to the TCV Tokamak

Xavier Lapillonne

In magnetically confined fusion devices, the energy and particle transport is significantly larger than expected from purely collisional processes. This degraded confinement mostly results from small-scale turbulence and prevents from reaching self-sustain ...

H∞ Controller Design for Spectral MIMO Models by Convex Optimization

Alireza Karimi, Roland Longchamp, Gorka Galdos Sanz de Galdeano

A new method for robust ﬁxed-order H∞ controller design by convex optimization for multivariable systems is investigated. Linear Time-Invariant Multi-Input Multi- Output (LTI-MIMO) systems represented by a set of complex values in the frequency domain are ...

Mathematical models and numerical simulations for the America's Cup

Alfio Quarteroni, Nicola Parolini

This paper presents a review of the mathematical models which can be adopted to describe the different physical phenomena characterizing the flow around a sailing yacht. The complete model accounting for laminar-turbulent transition regime, free-surface dy ...

Modeling and control of thermoacoustic instabilities

This work deals with modeling and control of thermoacoustic combustion instabilities in lean premixed combustion systems. Because of the complex interactions present in thermoacoustic systems, a network modeling approach is used. The model of each network ...

Numerical study of transitions in Taylor-Couette flow

This thesis is divided into two parts. In the first one the creation of a complete numerical tool, from the mesh generation to the data treatment, is presented. However time consuming this part has been, this is not the most important one. The second and m ...
