Keynote lecture - Potential, limits and perspectives of physical and numerical modelling

Giovanni De Cesare

In the 19th Century, hydraulic engineering was typically addressed in two parallel approaches. On one hand, classical theoretical fluid mechanics with the use of analytical approaches to study various flow occurrences. Due to the difficulty and complexity ...

Hybrid stretchable circuits on silicone substrate

Stéphanie Lacour

When rigid and stretchable components are integrated onto a single elastic carrier substrate, large strain heterogeneities appear in the vicinity of the deformable-non-deformable interfaces. In this paper, we report on a generic approach to manufacture hyb ...

Effect of driftwood on hydraulic head of Piano Key weirs

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Blake Tullis

Driftwood is often transported by a river course during flood events and can be problematic where it accumulates at hydraulic structures. Near obstacles, driftwood can block and thus reduces the open flow area for water passage, resulting in a lowered disc ...

Spatially varied flow impact on resistance in corrugated pipes

Fereshteh Bagherimiyab Hunkeler

The roughness coefficient is a significant factor in hydraulic design process, but carries vast uncertainty in practice. This paper reports the resistance coefficients of corrugated PVC pipes under different flow regimes (i.e. pressurised, gradually varied ...

A VERSATILE DC/DC CONVERTER BASED ON MODULAR MULTILEVEL CONVERTER FOR ENERGY COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION

Alfred Rufer, Drazen Dujic, Stephan Kenzelmann

A topology based on the Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) is presented, using two MMC linked by a medium frequency transformer. The back to back structure proves to have effective circuit breaker properties and reduced passive components. Due to the adopt ...

Quench analysis of a high-current forced-flow HTS conductor model for fusion magnets

Rainer Wesche, Luca Bottura

A fundamental understanding of the quench phenomenon is particularly important in the design and operation of magnets using High Temperature Superconductors because the quench propagation velocity is low due to high specific heat at high temperature. We ha ...

Hydrodynamic Instabilities in Well-Balanced Finite Volume Schemes for Frictional Shallow Water Equations. The Kinematic Wave Case

Martin Rentschler

We report the developments of hydrodynamic instabilities in several well-balanced finite volume schemes that are observed during the computation of the temporal evolution of an out-balance flow which is essentially a kinematic wave. The numerical simulatio ...

Passive/Active Acoustic metamaterials

Hervé Lissek

Within the last years, an increasing number of studies have been carried out in the field of acoustic metamaterials. These artificial composite materials aim at achieving new macroscopic properties, like negative refraction, that are not readily present in ...
