Objective Characterization of Rain Microphysics: Validating a Scheme Suitable for Weather and Climate Models
Alexis Berne, Timothy Hugh Raupach
Improving the atmospheric component of hydrological models is beneficial for applications such as water resources assessment and hydropower operations. Within this goal, precise characterization of rain microphysics is key for climate and weather modeling, ...
2018Design of a bed load and driftwood filtering dam, analysis of the phenomena and hydraulic design
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 ...
CRC Press/Balkema2014Reactivation of Klingnau reservoir sidearm: Numerical simulation of sediment release downstream
Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Philippe Heller
The Klingnau reservoir, situated in north Switzerland, suffers from sedimentation in its left enlargement. The dam is placed in the Aare River about 1 km upstream of its confluence with the Rhine. Due to natural conservation and flood protection reasons, i ...
CRC Press/Balkema2014Development of adapted material testing for cold pilgering process of ODS tubes
In the framework of the development of new nuclear plants, we have studied the feasibility of producing cladding tubes in new grades adapted to the severe mechanical, thermal and irradiation conditions. ODS steel grades have been identified as promising ma ...
2013Hybrid probabilities and error-domain structural identification using ambient vibration monitoring
Ian Smith, Clotaire Michel, James-Alexandre Goulet
For the assessment of structural behaviour, many approaches are available to compare model predictions with measurements. However, few approaches include uncertainties along with dependencies associated with models and observations. In this paper, an error ...
Elsevier2013Flow over Hills: A Large-Eddy Simulation of the Bolund Case
Jiannong Fang, Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Marc Diebold
Simulation of local atmospheric flows around complex topography is important for several applications in wind energy (short-term wind forecasting and turbine siting and control), local weather prediction in mountainous regions and avalanche risk assessment ...
Springer Verlag2013Vertical excitation of axisymmetric liquid bridges
Massimo Mastrangeli, Pierre Lambert
This study presents an analytical model of the dynamics of an axisymmetric liquid bridge confined between two circular pads and subjected to small vertical periodic perturbations. Such system finds important applications in microassembly and microjoint des ...
Elsevier2013Advanced Numerical Modeling of Cracked Tubular K Joints: BEM and FEM Comparison
Alain Nussbaumer, Luís Costa Borges
A critical aspect in the design of tubular bridges is the fatigue performance of the structural joints. The estimation of a fatigue crack life using the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) theory involves the calculation of stress intensity factors (S ...
American Society of Civil Engineers2012One- and two-dimensional UVP velocity sampling in a cuboidal basin subject to in- and outflow sequences
Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Müller
In the framework of an experimental study on the influence of in- and outflow sequences on flow patterns and suspended sediment behavior in reservoirs, flow fields and inflowing jet were sampled by Ultrasonic Velocity Profilers (UVP). The laboratory set-up ...
2012RESIDUAL STRESSES IN AS-CAST BILLETS: NEUTRON DIFFRACTION MEASUREMENT AND THERMOMECHANICAL MODELING
Stress relief treatment is often required prior to sawing aluminum DC cast products in order to prevent crack formation and significant safety concerns due to the presence of high residual stresses generated during casting. Numerical models have been devel ...
