A semi-Lagrangian splitting method for the numerical simulation of sediment transport with free surface flows

Marco Picasso, Alexandre Caboussat, Gilles Steiner, Arwa Mrad

We present a numerical model for the simulation of 3D poly-dispersed sediment transport in a Newtonian flow with free surfaces. The physical model is based on a mixture model for multiphase flows. The Navier-Stokes equations are coupled with the transport ...

Growing a 'cosmic beast': observations and simulations of MACS J0717.5+3745

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Richard Harvey, Mathilde Jauzac, Matthieu Schaller, Richard Massey

We present a gravitational lensing and X-ray analysis of a massive galaxy cluster and its surroundings. The core of MACS J0717.5+3745 (M(R < 1Mpc) similar to 2 x 10(15) M-circle dot, z = 0.54) is already known to contain four merging components. We show th ...

Blade Tio Loss in a Small-Scale Fan

Luca Massera

In this study the influence of tip leakage on the performance of a small-scale fan is evaluated through computational fluid dynamics. ANSYS CFX Release 18.1 is employed for the numerical simulations, the results are extracted, analyzed and compared to the ...

Numerical simulation of a collapsing bubble subject to gravity

Mohamed Farhat, Outi Supponen

The present paper focuses on the simulation of the expansion and aspherical collapse of a laser-generated bubble subjected to an acceleration field and comparison of the results with instances from high-speed videos. The interaction of the liquid and gas i ...

Simulation of bubble expansion and collapse in the vicinity of a free surface

Mohamed Farhat, Outi Supponen

The present paper focuses on the numerical simulation of the interaction of laser-generated bubbles with a free surface, including comparison of the results with instances from high-speed videos of the experiment. The Volume Of Fluid method was employed fo ...

The stability of a rising droplet: an inertialess non-modal growth mechanism

François Gallaire, Lailai Zhu, Giacomo Gallino

Prior modal stability analysis (Kojima et al., Phys. Fluids, vol. 27, 1984, pp. 19-32) predicted that a rising or sedimenting droplet in a viscous fluid is stable in the presence of surface tension no matter how small, in contrast to experimental and numer ...
