An experimental study of coherent structures, secondary currents and surface boils and their interrelation in open-channel flow

River and open-channel flows are free surface boundary layer flows with complex 3D, large-scale, turbulent structures. The study of 2D and 3D large-scale turbulent flow structures is a great challenge for physicists, mathematicians and engineers from such ...

An experimental study on main flow, secondary flow and turbulence in open-channel bends with emphasis on their interaction with the outer-bank geometry

Alexandre José Pessanha De Oliveira Caimoto Duarte

This research focus on the influence of bank inclination and roughness on the near-bank flow patterns which is relevant for bank protection, bank erosion and design of stable river configuration. Foregoing studies have been carried out mostly in rectangula ...

Stabilized finite element schemes for incompressible flow using Scott-Vogelius elements

Erik Burman

We propose a stabilized mixed finite element method based on the Scott-Vogelius element tor the Oseen equation. Here. only convection has to he stabilized since by construction both the discrete pressure and the divergence of the discrete velocities, are c ...

Hydro Elastic Behavior of Vibrating Blades

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Ausoni, Olivier Braun

Fluid-structure investigations in hydraulic machines using coupled simulations are extremely time-consuming; therefore we develop an alternative method. In this paper, a model is proposed to predict fluid-structure coupling by linearizing the hydrodynamic ...

Some issues concerning large-eddy simulation of inertial particle dispersion in turbulent bounded flows

Alfredo Soldati

The problem of accurate Eulerian-Lagrangian modeling of inertial particle dispersion in large-eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent wall-bounded flows is addressed. We run direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulent channel flow at shear Reynolds number Re ...

Reactive transport in unsaturated Soil: Comprehensive modelling of the dynamic spatial and temporal mass balance of water and chemical components

David Andrew Barry, Laurin Wissmeier

By implementing the moisture-based form of Richards' equation into the geochemical modelling framework PHREEQC, a generic tool for the simulation of one-dimensional flow and solute transport in the vadose zone undergoing complex geochemical reactions was d ...

Improvement of Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry in steady and unsteady turbulent open-channel flows by means of seeding with hydrogen bubbles

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Koen Blanckaert, Tobias Meile

Velocimetry is used in various fields of research. In hydraulics, Ultrasonic Velocimetry based on the Doppler Shift effect can accurately resolve the quasi-instantaneous flow field [Takeda Y. Velocity profile measurement by Ultrasonic Doppler method. Exper ...

Axisymmetric swirling flow simulation of the draft tube vortex in Francis turbines at partial discharge

François Avellan

The flow in the draft tube cone of Francis turbines operated at partial discharge is a complex hydrodynamic phenomenon where an incoming steady axisymmetric swirling flow evolves into a three-dimensional unsteady flow field with precessing helical vortex ( ...

Dynamical systems and the transition to turbulence in linearly stable shear flows

Tobias Schneider

Plane Couette flow and pressure-driven pipe flow are two examples of flows where turbulence sets in while the laminar profile is still linearly stable. Experiments and numerical studies have shown that the transition has features compatible with the format ...

Measuring the effect of structural connectivity on the water dynamics in heterogeneous porous media using speedy neutron tomography

The temporal and spatial distribution of water within a porous medium is affected by the medium's structure, i.e., the spatial arrangement of its constituents. To analyze structural effects on the fluid dynamics, we measured the 3D water content distributi ...
