Columnlike free-interface flows: symmetry breaking and linear instability

This thesis is dedicated to the analysis of a subclass of interfacial flows, columnlike free-interface flows, from two view angles: (i) the symmetry breaking under geometry-induced or external forces, (ii) their stability against infinitesimal disturbances ...

Why the search for a privacy-preserving data sharing mechanism is failing

Carmela González Troncoso, Theresa Stadler

The rapidly growing demand to share data more openly creates a need for secure and privacy-preserving sharing technologies. However, there are multiple challenges associated with the development of a universal privacy-preserving data sharing mechanism, and ...

Training Algorithms for Multiple Object Tracking

Andrii Maksai

Multiple object tracking is a crucial Computer Vision Task. It aims at locating objects of interest in the image sequences, maintaining their identities, and identifying their trajectories over time. A large portion of current research focuses on tracking ...

Experimental assessment of the speed of light perturbation in free-fall absolute gravimeters

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Precision absolute gravity measurements are growing in importance, especially in the context of the new definition of the kilogram. For the case of free fall absolute gravimeters with a Michelson-type interferometer tracking the position of a free falling ...

Empirical and analytical analyses of laboratory granular flows to investigate rock avalanche propagation

Vincent Labiouse, Irene Manzella

Laboratory experiments which consist of releasing dry rigid non-cohesive grains or small bricks on an unconfined chute have been designed to investigate rock avalanche propagation mechanisms and to identify parameters influencing their deposit characterist ...

Finite Dimensional Methods for Differential Flatness

Basile Graf

In Control System Theory, the study of continuous-time, finite dimensional, underdetermined systems of ordinary differential equations is an important topic. Classification of systems in different categories is a natural initial step to the analysis of a g ...

Fluid-structure coupling for an oscillating hydrofoil

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Ausoni, Cécile Münch-Alligné, Olivier Braun

Fluid-structure investigations in hydraulic machines using coupled simulations are particularly time-consuming. In this study, an alternative method is presented that linearizes the hydrodynamic load of a rigid, oscillating hydrofoil. The hydrofoil, which ...

Flow experiments with gravel and blocks at small scale to investigate parameters and mechanisms involved in rock avalanches

Vincent Labiouse, Irene Manzella

Laboratory experiments play an important role in improving the modelling of rock avalanches since they contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms that characterise propagation and to identifying parameters influencing velocity and deposit chara ...

Hydro Elastic Behavior of Vibrating Blades

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Ausoni, Cécile Münch-Alligné, 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 ...

Dry rock avalanche propagation : unconstrained flow experiments with granular materials and blocks at small scale

Irene Manzella

Rock avalanches are catastrophic phenomena which are not yet exhaustively understood. They consist of rock mass movements of more than one million cubic metres, involving a great amount of energy and travelling farther than expected with a normal sliding f ...
