We present a numerical model for the approximation of multiphase flows with free surfaces and strong interfacial effects. The model relies on the multiphase incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and includes surface tension effects on the interfaces betw ...

A unified numerical framework is presented for the modelling of multiphasic viscoelasticand elastic flows. The rheologies considered range from incompressible Newtonian orOldroyd-B viscoelastic fluids to Neo-Hookean elastic solids. The model is formulatedi ...

Scaling Description of Creep Flow in Amorphous Solids

Matthieu Wyart, Thomas Willem Jan de Geus, Wencheng Ji, Marko Popovic

Amorphous solids such as coffee foam, toothpaste, or mayonnaise display a transient creep flow when a stress E is suddenly imposed. The associated strain rate is commonly found to decay in time as gamma_ -t-nu, followed either by arrest or by a sudden flui ...

A plane‐strain hydraulic fracture driven by a shear‐thinning Carreau fluid

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Lucas Pereira

We study the propagation of a plane‐strain hydraulic fracture driven by a shear thinning fluid following a Carreau rheology. We restrict to the impermeable medium case and quantify in details the impact on fracture growth of the shear‐thinning properties o ...

Amorphous materials exhibit complex material properties with strongly nonlinear behaviors. Below a yield stress they behave as plastic solids, while they start to yield above a critical stress sigma(c). A key quantity controlling plasticity which is, howev ...

Microstructural controls of anticrack nucleation in highly porous brittle solids

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Henning Löwe, Jonas Ritter

Porous brittle solids have the ability to collapse and fail even under compressive stresses. In fracture mechanics, this singular behavior, often referred to as anticrack, demands for appropriate continuum models to predict the catastrophic failure. To ide ...

Micromechanical controls of mixed-mode anticrack nucleation in porous solids: application to snow failure

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Henning Löwe, Jonas Ritter

Porous cohesive materials can fail and collapse under compressive stresses. This mechanical behavior is generally referred to as anticrack and in snow, it is at the origin of catastrophic avalanches. In this study, we investigate how the microstructure of ...

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 ...

Rheological behavior of colloidal suspension with long-range interactions

In this work, we study the constitutive behavior of interacting colloidal suspensions for moderate and high concentrations. Specifically, using a lattice Boltzmann solver, we numerically examine suspensions flowing through narrow channels, and explore the ...

Numerical simulation of mechanical deformation of semi-solid material using a level-set based finite element method

Roland Logé

In this work, a level-set based finite element method was used to numerically evaluate the mechanical behavior in a small deformation range of semi-solid materials with different microstructure configurations. For this purpose, a finite element model of th ...
