Swirling against the forcing: Evidence of stable counterdirected sloshing waves in orbital-shaken reservoirs

François Gallaire, Alessandro Bongarzone, Alice Evelyne Julienne Marcotte

We investigate the response of the free liquid surface in a partially filled circular cylindrical container undergoing a planar elliptic and time-periodic orbit while maintaining fixed its orientation. For small forcing amplitudes and deep liquid layers, w ...

Columnlike free-interface flows: symmetry breaking and linear instability

Shahab Eghbali

This thesis is dedicated to the analysis of a subclass of interfacial flows, columnlike free-interface flows, from two view angles: (i) the symmetry breaking under geometry-induced or external forces, (ii) their stability against infinitesimal disturbances ...

From coating flow patterns to porous body wake dynamics via multiscale models

Pier Giuseppe Ledda

Multiscale phenomena are involved in countless problems in fluid mechanics. Coating flows are known to exhibit a broad variety of patterns, such as wine tears in a glass and dripping of fresh paint applied on a wall. Coating flows are typically modeled und ...

Imaging of Chemical Kinetics at the Water–Water Interface in a Free-Flowing Liquid Flat-Jet

Andreas Osterwalder, Bruno Credidio

We present chemical kinetics measurements of the luminol oxidation chemiluminescence (CL) reaction at the interface between two aqueous solutions, using liquid jet technology. Free-flowing liquid microjets are a relatively recent development that have foun ...

Relaxation of capillary-gravity waves due to contact line nonlinearity: A projection method

François Gallaire, Alessandro Bongarzone, Francesco Viola

We present a physics-inspired mathematical model based on successive linear eigenmode projections to solve the relaxation of small-amplitude and two-dimensional viscous capillary-gravity waves with a phenomenological nonlinear contact line model. We show t ...

Application of particle-based numerical analysis to the practical design of Pelton turbine

François Avellan, Siamak Alimirzazadeh, Takashi Kumashiro

For the design optimization of the Pelton turbine, it is highly demanded to investigate the flow inside the turbine casing, which includes the water jet from the nozzles, the interaction between the jet and rotating runner, and the flow ejected from the bu ...

Numerical simulation of sediment dynamics with free surface flows

Arwa Mrad

We present a numerical model for the simulation of 3D mono-dispersed sediment dynamics in a Newtonian flow with free surfaces. The physical model is a macroscopic model for the transport of sediment based on a sediment concentration with a single momentum ...

Force Scaling Comparison of Transport Phenomena in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Flow Channels

Mahbod Heidari

Liquid-gas two-phase flow in flow channels of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells has been investigated extensively in the literature; however, a comparison between the order of the magnitude of the forces occurring within the flow channels has not b ...

Hydrodynamic dead zone in multiphase geophysical flows impacting a rigid obstacle

Xingyue Li

When a gravity-driven solid-fluid mixture, such as those in geophysical flows, hits a wall-like rigid obstacle, a metastable jammed zone called hydrodynamic dead zone (HDZ) may emerge. The unjammed-jammed transition of HDZ, controlled by the intricate inte ...

Air mediates the impact of a compliant hemisphere on a rigid smooth surface

John Martin Kolinski, Siqi Zheng

Fleeting contact between solids immersed in a fluid medium governs the response of critically important materials, from coffee to soil. Rapid impact of soft solids occurs in systems as diverse as car tires, soft robotic locomotion and suspensions, includin ...
