Transport barrier in 5D gyrokinetic flux-driven simulations

Two ways for producing a transport barrier through strong shear of the E x B poloidal flow have been investigated using GYSELA gyrokinetic simulations in a flux-driven regime. The first one uses an external poloidal momentum (i.e. vorticity) source that lo ...

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 ...

Mixing and diffusion for rough shear flows

Maria Colombo, Klaus Martin Widmayer

This article addresses mixing and diffusion properties of passive scalars advected by rough (

C^\alpha

) shear flows. We show that in general, one cannot expect a rough shear flow to increase the rate of inviscid mixing to more than that of a smooth shear ...

Frictional behaviour of carbonate bearing faults at brittle-ductile transition

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Mathias Alexandre David Lebihain, Carolina Giorgetti, Francesco Figura

One of the most alarming recent findings in geo-science is the dramatic rise in the rate of humaninduced earthquakes in the past decade. This is due to the fluid injection or extraction in deep reservoirs for hydrocarbon production, wastewater and CO2 stor ...

Large particle segregation in two-dimensional sheared granular flows

Christophe Ancey, Tomás Alfredo Trewhela Palacios

We studied the segregation of single large intruder particles in monodisperse granular materials. Experiments were carried out in a two-dimensional shear cell using different intruder and media diameters, whose quotient defined a size ratio R that ranged f ...

Particle-size segregation and rheology coupling in dense granular flows.

Tomás Alfredo Trewhela Palacios

Dense granular flows -debris or pyroclastic flows, avalanches, granular flows in heaps, silos or rotating drums-are ubiquitous to many natural and industrial processes. Their grain composition is often polydisperse, with particles differing in shape, size ...

An Analytical Method to Predict the Structural Behavior of Timber-Concrete Structures With Brittle-to-Ductile Shear Connector Laws

Eugen Brühwiler, Luca Sorelli

Timber-Concrete Composite (TCC) structures allow taking synergistic advantage of the properties of both materials to optimize the overall performances in terms of lightness, slenderness, acoustic insulation, vibrational behaviour and environmental footprin ...

Microdevices for Locomotion in Complex Biological Fluids

Tian Qiu

Locomotion is an essential feature for survival of many organisms, and it is also a technical requirement for untethered biomedical microdevices to operate inside the human body for targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive surgery. The overall goal of ...

Systematic errors of skin-friction measurements by oil-film interferometry

Peter Monkewitz, Jean-Daniel Rüedi

In recent years, the independent measurement of wall shear stress with oil-film or oil-drop interferometry has become a cornerstone of turbulent-boundary-layer research as many arguments depend critically on a precise knowledge of the skin friction tau(w)* ...

Swimming by reciprocal motion at low Reynolds number

Peer Fischer, Tian Qiu

Biological microorganisms swim with flagella and cilia that execute nonreciprocal motions for low Reynolds number (Re) propulsion in viscous fluids. This symmetry requirement is a consequence of Purcell's scallop theorem, which complicates the actuation sc ...
