Vortical structures in the near wake of tabs with various geometries
The vortical structures and turbulence statistics in the near wake of rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular and ellipsoidal tabs were experimentally studied in a refractive-index-matching channel. The tabs share the same bulk dimensions, including a 17Â mm ...
2017Shock waves from nonspherical cavitation bubbles
Mohamed Farhat, Nicolas Dorsaz, Danail Obreschkow, Philipp Kobel, Outi Supponen, Marc Tinguely
We present detailed observations of the shock waves emitted at the collapse of single cavitation bubbles using simultaneous time-resolved shadowgraphy and hydrophone pressure measurements. The geometry of the bubbles is systematically varied from spherical ...
Amer Physical Soc2017Impulse waves generated by snow avalanches: Momentum and energy transfer to a water body
When a snow avalanche enters a body of water, it creates an impulse wave whose effects may be catastrophic. Assessing the risk posed by such events requires estimates of the wave’s features. Empirical equations have been developed for this purpose in the c ...
Wiley-Blackwell2016Modelling of plasmonic systems
Metallic nanostructures interact in complex ways with light, forming the subject of plasmonics and bringing novel physical phenomena and practical applications. The fundamental and practical importance of plasmonics necessitates the development of a multit ...
EPFL2016Investigating The Size-Dependent Static And Dynamic Behavior Of Circular Micro-Plates Subjected To Capillary Force
Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Mohammad Hussein Kahrobaiyan
The size-dependent static deflection, pull-in instability and resonant frequency of a circular microplate under capillary force have been studied using modified couple stress elasticity theory. SiZe-dependency is a phenomenon in which the normalized quanti ...
