Numerical simulation and sensitivity analysis of a low-Reynolds-number flow around a square cylinder controlled using plasma actuators

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Philippe Meliga

Flow around a square cylinder controlled using plasma actuators (PAs) is numerically investigated by direct numerical simulation in order to clarify the most effective location of actuator installation and to elucidate the mechanism of control effect. The ...

Stability analysis of boundary layers controlled by miniature vortex generators

Lorenzo Siconolfi

It is currently known that Tollmien–Schlichting (TS) waves can be attenuated by the introduction of spanwise mean velocity gradients in an otherwise two-dimensional boundary layer (BL). The stabilizing effect, associated with an extra turbulence production ...

Design of a bed load and driftwood filtering dam, analysis of the phenomena and hydraulic design

Giovanni De Cesare

Flood protection often calls on to the realization of retention works for bed load as well as wood and debris flow. Certain relatively recent arrangements did not perform according to their intended function, what shows the complexity of the design and the ...

Formation of drying crack patterns in soils : a deterministic approach

Lyesse Laloui, Hervé Péron

Soils, as well as most of deformable multiphase porous materials, are likely to suffer from desiccation cracking, leading to the formation of regular crack patterns affecting their permeability. The ensuing cracks spacing has often been related to a concep ...

Numerical Simulation of Sailing Boats: Dynamics, FSI, and Shape Optimization

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza, Nicola Parolini, Matteo Lombardi

The numerical simulation of free-surface flows around sailing boats is a complex topic that addresses multiple mathematical tasks: the correct study of the flow field around a rigid hull, the numerical simulation of the hull dynamics, the deformation of th ...

A second-order cut-cell method for the numerical simulation of 2D flows past obstacles

We present a new second-order method, based on the MAC scheme on cartesian grids, for the numerical simulation of two-dimensional incompressible flows past obstacles. In this approach, the solid boundary is embedded in the cartesian computational mesh. Dis ...
