Cavitation induction by projectile impacting on a water jet

The present paper focuses on the simulation of the high-velocity impact of a projectile impacting on a water-jet, causing the onset, development and collapse of cavitation. The simulation of the fluid motion is carried out using an explicit, compressible, ...

Experimental study on the hydrodynamic impact of tsunami-like waves against impervious free-standing buildings

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Davide Wüthrich, Ioan Nistor

Tsunamis, landslide-generated waves, and dam failures are rare, but highly destructive phenomena, associated with extreme loading on infrastructure. Recent events showed that specific measures must be taken to guarantee safety of both people and the built ...

Hydraulic performance of stepped spillway aerators and related downstream flow features

Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier

To protect spillways against cavitation damage, adding a small air concentration to the flow close to the invert is efficient. Aerator performance on smooth chutes was therefore well studied in terms of air entrainment and downstream air concentration deve ...

Seismic Behaviour and Design of Mixed RC-URM Wall Structures

Alessandro Paparo

In several countries of central Europe, many modern residential buildings are braced by reinforced concrete (RC) and unreinforced masonry (URM) walls coupled with RC slabs. Such mixed constructions, in fact, behave better under seismic loading than buildin ...

First experimental evidence of hydrodynamic tunneling of ultra-relativistic protons in extended solid copper target at the CERN HiRadMat facility

Juan Blanco Sancho, Rudiger Schmidt

A novel experiment has been performed at the CERN HiRadMat test facility to study the impact of the 440 GeV proton beam generated by the Super Proton Synchrotron on extended solid copper cylindrical targets. Substantial hydrodynamic tunneling of the proton ...

Modelling and stability analysis of the 155 mm spin-stabilised projectile equipped with steering fins

Yannick Morel

The presented work concerns the modelling and stability analysis of 155 mm spin-stabilised projectiles equipped with steering fins. While a large roll rate provides the projectile with interesting stability properties, it also renders the steering control ...

Differential equations, an interdisciplinary model!

Daniel Thalmann

A new way of teaching differential equations with interdisciplinary models and a computer is presented. The models are taken from physics, chemistry and biology. Students work at the computer in interactive use. They have the choice of the values of differ ...
