Effective Models and Numerical Homogenization for Wave Propagation in Heterogeneous Media on Arbitrary Timescales

Timothée Noé Pouchon, Assyr Abdulle

A family of effective equations for wave propagation in periodic media for arbitrary timescales O(epsilon-alpha), where epsilon MUCH LESS-THAN1 is the period of the tensor describing the medium, is proposed. The well-posedness of the effective equations of ...

Topology and broken Hermiticity

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

Topology and symmetry have emerged as compelling guiding principles to predict and harness the propagation of waves in natural and artificial materials. Be it for quantum particles (such as electrons) or classical waves (such as light, sound or mechanical ...

Vague de surf en bassin

Cédric Maxime Egolf

A design of a wave pool for surfing is defined in this work. The geometry is designed in order to optimize the relatively small area available for the project. The bathymetry is suited to the different levels of surfers. A wave generation system composed o ...

Observation of topological gravity-capillary waves in a water wave crystal

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

The discovery of topological phases of matter, initially driven by theoretical advances in quantum condensed matter physics, has been recently extended to classical wave systems, reaching out to a wealth of novel potential applications in signal manipulati ...

Radiation Limitations for Small Implanted Antennas

Anja Skrivervik, Zvonimir Sipus

Medical implants with communication capability are becoming increasingly popular with today’s trends to continuously monitor patient’s condition. This is a major challenge for antenna designers since the implants are inherently small and placed in a commun ...

Structural response of French offshore heritage lighthouses

Emmanuel Denarié

Offshore lighthouses are a remarkable historical heritage often over 100 years old. The management of their ageing is a challenge and requires a thorough understanding of their structural response under wave loading. With this aim in view, the dynamic resp ...

Extreme Hydrodynamic impact onto buildings

Davide Wüthrich

Dam failures, impulse waves, tsunamis and storm surges are disasters that challenge humanity, often leading to massive casualties and important economic losses. These events generate highly unsteady flow conditions in the form of surges or turbulent bores, ...

Wave impact on oriented impervious buildings

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Davide Wüthrich, Claudia Ylla Arbos

Recent studies showed that a speciﬁc design can reduce the impact of water waves on structures, thus limiting the damages. Herein the impact of waves on buildings is addressed, pointing out the inﬂuence of orientation on the hydrodynamic process. ...

Influence of building orientation on the hydrodynamic impact of water waves on buildings with openings

Claudia Ylla Arbos

Tsunamis, dam-break waves and impulse waves are catastrophic phenomena that leave thousands of victims and cause severe infrastructural damage. Understanding the impact that these waves have on structures is therefore necessary to properly dimension buildi ...
