A cut-cell method for the numerical simulation of 3D multiphase flows with strong interfacial effects

Marco Picasso, Alexandre Caboussat, Julien Hess, Alexandre Masserey

We present a numerical model for the approximation of multiphase flows with free surfaces and strong interfacial effects. The model relies on the multiphase incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and includes surface tension effects on the interfaces betw ...

Stochastic Simulations and Machine Learning Modeling to Predict Bedload Transport and Bed Topography

Mehrdad Kiani Oshtorjani

In computational hydraulics models, predicting bed topography and bedload transport with sufficient accuracy remains a significant challenge. An accurate assessment of a river's sediment transport rate necessitates a prior understanding of its bed topograp ...

Pathways to enhance electrochemical CO2 reduction identified through direct pore-level modeling

Sophia Haussener, Etienne Boutin, Shuo Liu, Evan Fair Johnson

Electrochemical conversion of CO2 to fuels and valuable products is one pathway to reduce CO2 emissions. Electrolyzers using gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) show much higher current densities than aqueous phase electrolyzers, yet models for multi-physical ...

An element-based formulation for ES-FEM and FS-FEM models for implementation in standard solid mechanics finite element codes for 2D and 3D static analysis

Slah Drira

Edge-based and face-based smoothed finite element methods (ES-FEM and FS-FEM, respectively) are modified versions of the finite element method allowing to achieve more accurate results and to reduce sensitivity to mesh distortion, at least for linear eleme ...

Numerical simulations of Pelton turbine flow to predict large head variation influence

François Avellan, Cécile Münch-Alligné, Siamak Alimirzazadeh, Steve Crettenand

In the framework of the new feed-in-tariff system in Switzerland for Small Hydropower Plants (SHP), the aim of the SmallFLEX project, led by HES-SO Valais and performed in collaboration with EPFL, WSL, EAWAG, PVE, and FMV, is to show how SHP can provide wi ...

A Method for the Improvement of the Stability in FDTD-Based Numerical Codes Evaluating Lightning-Induced Voltage

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

Dealing with realistic networks, the solution of lightning electromagnetic field coupling to transmission lines is generally obtained through a Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) algorithm interfaced with an electromagnetic simulator. As well known, the ...

Evaluation of Site Errors in LLS Magnetic Direction Finding Caused by Large Hills Using the 3D‐FDTD Technique

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Wolfgang Schulz, Hannes Kohlmann

Angle and amplitude estimation errors in magnetic direction finding, called site errors, are important sensor-specific errors in lightning location systems (LLS). They are known to be caused by nearby cables and overhead lines due to induced currents. Due ...

Numerical methods for conservation laws with rough flux

Hakon Andreas Hoel

Finite volume methods are proposed for computing approximate pathwise entropy/kinetic solutions to conservation laws with flux functions driven by low-regularity paths. For a convex flux, it is demonstrated that driving path oscillations may lead to "cance ...

High-order essentially nonoscillatory methods based on radial basis functions

Fabian Mönkeberg

Essentially nonoscillatory (ENO) and weighted ENO (WENO) methods on equidistant Cartesian grids are widely employed to solve partial differential equations with discontinuous solutions. However, stable ENO/WENO methods on unstructured grids are less well s ...
