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 ...

Plasticity and geophysical flows: A review

Christophe Ancey

The objective of this review is to examine how the concept of plasticity is used in geophysical fluid dynamics. Rapid mass movements such as snow avalanches or debris flows involve slurries of solid particles (ice, boulder, clay, etc.) within an interstiti ...

Simulation of shear-driven flows

Roland Bouffanais

The research work reported in the present dissertation is aimed at the analysis of complex physical phenomena involving instabilities and nonlinearities occurring in fluids through state-of-the-art numerical modeling. Solutions of intricate fluid physics p ...

Young's law and the effects of interfacial energy on the pressure at the solid-fluid interface

Ivan Lunati

In a recent paper [R. Finn, Phys. Fluids 18, 047102 (2006)] the attention has been drawn on the tension component perpendicular to the solid surface that results from Young's law. Considering the problem of a solid sphere floating in zero gravity, it has b ...

Multiphysical Brushless DC Motor Optimization Process

Yves Perriard, Miroslav Markovic

An original analytical determination of the force acting on the moving coil in an electromagnetic actuator is presented. The actuator magnetic field is solved analytically using the Schwarz-Christoffel (SC) mapping. The SC integral is solved analytically u ...

Device for measuring the amplitude of a force produced on an axis and a vehicle provided with said device

Alain Schorderet

The inventive device for measuring forces, in particular radial forces produced on an axis or another piece, for example on the axis of the rear wheel of a motorcycle. Said device comprises a measuring sleeve (1) arranged around an axis (3) in such a way t ...

A numerical investigation using a novel finite volume method of some flow instabilities

A novel implicit cell-vertex finite volume method is presented for the solution of both the Navier-Stokes equations and the governing equations for certain viscoelastic fluids. The key idea is the elimination of the pressure term from the momentum equation ...

Multivariable design of bilateral Master-Slave force reflecting servomechanisms

Bilateral Master-Slave force reflecting servomechanisms are very interesting and useful devices. The basic principle of these systems is too realise a force and position transformation between the two mechanisms. This paper presents the design of the multi ...

2-D time-dependent viscoelastic flow calculations using CONNFFESSIT

Marco Picasso

Two:dimensional time-dependent calculations for a molecular model of finite extensibility in the journal-bearing geometry are presented. The flow is considered to be incompressible and isothermal. The momentum conservation equation is integrated using a ti ...
