Fluid structure interaction in straight pipelines with different anchoring conditions

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, David Ferràs Segura

This investigation aims at assessing the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) occurring during hydraulic transients in straight pipeline systems fixed to anchor blocks. A two mode 4-equation model is implemented incorporating the main interacting mechanisms: ...

Basal entrainment by Newtonian gravity-driven flows

Christophe Ancey, Nicolas Andreini, Belinda Margaret Bates

Gravity-driven flows can erode the bed along which they descend and increase their mass by a factor of 10 or more. This process is called basal entrainment. Although documented by field observations and laboratory experiments, it remains poorly understood. ...

Approximation numérique des écoulements turbulents dans des cuves d'électrolyse de l'aluminium

Jonathan Rochat

Aluminium is a metal extracted from bauxite ore using electrolysis process in cells of big size. A huge electric current goes in the cell through an electrolytic bath and aluminium liquid. These currents generate strong magnetic forces that allow the bath ...

Theoretical and numerical studies of atmospheric boundary-layer flows over complex terrain

Marco Giovanni Giometto

Atmospheric boundary-layer (ABL) flows over complex terrain have been the focus of active research, given their impact on weather and climate variability. Surface complexity is understood in a broad sense and includes variation in roughness properties, inc ...

Fluid-structure interaction during hydraulic transients in pressurized pipes: experimental and numerical analyses

David Ferràs Segura

Pressurized pipes may be endangered by failure due to excessive hydraulic transients, the so-called waterhammer. These pressure waves are strongly affected by fluid-structure interaction (FSI), unsteady skin friction, dry friction or pipe-wall viscoelastic ...

The present paper approaches fluid-structure interaction by means of a 4-equation model. Experimental data collected from a straight copper pipe-rig lying directly on the lab floor is used for the model validation in terms of wave shape, timing and damping ...

Three-dimensional numerical modeling of flow field in rectangular shallow reservoirs

Anton Schleiss

Flow field in shallow waters, which is characterized by its complex mixing process and inherent dynamic nature, is interesting mainly due to its practical importance (e. g. in free flushing operation and sedimentation in large reservoirs). 3D numerical mod ...

Two-phase flow modeling of the influence of wave shapes and bed slope on nearshore hydrodynamics

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar, Amir Mehdi Razmi

An Eulerian two-phase flow model (air-water) was used to simulate nearshore hydrodynamic processes driven by wave motion. The flow field was computed with the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the Volume-Of-Fluid method and the ...

Numerical study of Navier-Stokes problems with generalized Robin boundary conditions

Alessandro Samuele Patelli

The first goal of this project is to study a reduced order model for the Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problem. We present the assumptions made to achieve the reduced order formulation and its fully discretized numerical scheme. One of the characterist ...
