Experimental Study and Numerical Simulation of the Flindt Draft Tube Rotating Vortex

François Avellan, Monica Iliescu

The dynamics of the rotating vortex taking place in the discharge ring of a Francis turbine for partial flow rate operating conditions and cavitation free conditions is studied by carrying out both experimental flow survey and numerical simulations. 2D las ...

Influence of macro-roughness of walls on steady and unsteady flow in a channel

Tobias Meile

High-head storage hydropower plants mainly operate their turbines during periods of high energy demand. The sudden starting and stopping of turbines (hydropeaking) lead to highly unsteady flow in channels and rivers. Besides hydropeaking, other anthropogen ...

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 ...

Numerical Simulation and Analysis of Swirling Flow in the Draft Tube Cone of a Francis Turbine

François Avellan

The paper presents numerical investigations of decelerated swirling flows specific to hydraulic turbines draft tube cone, within the framework of axisymmetric flow models. First, we investigate the behaviour of a Burgers vortex in a diffuser as the swirl i ...

Simulazione numerica per la Coppa America di vela

Alfio Quarteroni, Nicola Parolini

The Ãcole Polytechnique FÃ©dÃ©rale de Lausanne (EPFL) has acted as official scientific advisor for the Alinghi Team, winner of the 2003 Edition of the America's Cup. In this report we discuss the role plaid by mathematical and numerical models in yacht de ...

Flow and turbulence in sharp open-channel bends

Koen Blanckaert

The sustainable development of rivers requires a knowledge on the three-dimensional mean flow field and the turbulence in complex morphologies. In a future, the computational capacity will be sufficient to simulate numerically the fine details of the flow. ...

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 ...

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 ...

Alluvionnement des retenues par courants de turbidité

Giovanni De Cesare

Reservoir sedimentation by turbidity currents All lakes created on natural rivers are subjected to reservoir sedimentation. The construction of a dam significantly modifies the flow conditions of natural streams inside and downstream of an artificial lake. ...
