Model-based data analysis of the effect of winter mixing on primary production in a lake under reoligotrophication

Alfred Johny Wüest, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Camille Roland Marie Minaudo, Shubham Krishna

Nutrient loading, in combination with climate change are important drivers of primary productivity in lakes. Understanding and forecasting future changes in primary production (PP) in response to local and global forcing are major challenges for developing ...

Adaptive algorithms for two fluids flows with anisotropic finite elements and order two time discretizations

Samuel Dubuis

This thesis is devoted to the derivation of a posteriori error estimates for the numerical approximation of fluids flows separated by a free surface. Based on these estimates, error indicators are introduced and adaptive algorithms are proposed to solve th ...

Feedback-free microfluidic oscillator with impinging jets

Philippe Renaud, François Gallaire, Arnaud Bertsch, Margaux Catherine Marie Duchamp, Alessandro Bongarzone

The present paper describes a microfluidic oscillator based on facing impinging jets and operating in laminar flow conditions. Using appropriate microchannel configurations, pulsatile liquid flows are generated at the microscale from steady and equal inlet ...

Assessment of alternative divertor configurations as an exhaust solution for DEMO

Holger Reimerdes, Roberto Maurizio, Seungkyu Ha, Hartmut Zohm

Plasma exhaust has been identified as a major challenge towards the realisation of magnetic confinement fusion. To mitigate the risk that the single null divertor (SND) with a high radiation fraction in the scrape-of-layer (SOL) adopted for ITER will not e ...

A point vortex transportation model for yawed wind turbine wakes

Fernando Porté Agel, Haohua Zong

In this study, stereo particle imaging velocimetry measurements are performed at multiple streamwise locations behind a yawed wind turbine to reveal the formation mechanisms of the counter-rotating vortex pair (CVP), and a point vortex transportation (PVT) ...

Complex System Dynamics Through A Fractal Paradigm

Maria-Alexandra Paun

Assimilating the complex with a fractal, non - differentiable behaviors in their dynamics are analyzed through a fractal paradigm. It results that complex system dynamics in the framework of hydrodynamic - type fractal regimes imply "holographic implementa ...

From turbulence to landscapes: Logarithmic mean profiles in bounded complex systems

Sara Bonetti

We show that similarly to the logarithmic mean-velocity profile in wall-bounded turbulence, the landscape topography presents an intermediate region with a logarithmic mean-elevation profile. Such profiles are present in complex topographies with channel b ...

Fast modeling of turbulent transport in fusion plasmas using neural networks

Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Yann Camenen, Simon Van Mulders

We present an ultrafast neural network model, QLKNN, which predicts core tokamak transport heat and particle fluxes. QLKNN is a surrogate model based on a database of 3 × 108 flux calculations of the quasilinear gyrokinetic transport model, QuaLiKiz. The d ...

Numerical Framework for Aerodynamic Characterization of Wind Turbine Airfoils: Application to Miniature Wind Turbine WiRE-01

Fernando Porté Agel, Tristan Revaz, Mou Lin

A numerical framework for the aerodynamic characterization of wind turbine airfoils is developed and applied to the miniature wind turbine WiRE-01. The framework is based on a coupling between wall-resolved large eddy simulation (LES) and application of th ...

Geometric mixing

Nicolas Piro Mastracchio

Mixing fluids often involves a periodic action, like stirring one's tea. But reciprocating motions in fluids at low Reynolds number, in Stokes flows where inertia is negligible, lead to periodic cycles of mixing and unmixing, because the physics, molecular ...
