Comminution limit (CL) of particles and possible implications for pumped storage reservoirs

Mohamed Farhat

Comminution (fragmentation) of solid particles is important in a range of technologies. An interesting effect is the so-called comminution limit (CL), which is effectively a brittle/ductile transition. Above the CL particles fail by fracture. However, as p ...

Hysteresis phenomena in hydraulic measurement

Mohamed Farhat, Hongjuan Ran

Hysteresis phenomena demonstrate the lag between the generation and the removal of some physical phenomena. This paper studies the hysteresis phenomena of the head-drop in a scaled model pump turbine using experiment test and CFD methods. These lag is indu ...

A self-assembled three-dimensional cloak in the visible

Mohamed Farhat, Toralf Scharf, Alastair Cunningham

An invisibility cloak has been designed, realized and characterized. The cloak hides free-standing sub-wavelength three-dimensional objects at the short wavelength edge of the visible spectrum. By a bottom-up approach the cloak was self-assembled around th ...

Evidence for hydrogen generation in laser- or spark-induced cavitation bubbles

Mohamed Farhat, Marc Tinguely

The growing use of focused lasers or electric sparks to generate cavitation bubbles raises concerns about the possible alteration of gas content during the initiation process and its effect on bubble dynamics. We provide experimental evidence that hydrogen ...

The quest for the most spherical bubble: experimental setup and data overview

Mohamed Farhat, Nicolas Dorsaz, Danail Obreschkow, Philipp Kobel, Marc Tinguely, Aurèle De Bosset

We describe a recently realized experiment producing the most spherical cavitation bubbles today. The bubbles grow inside a liquid from a point plasma generated by a nanosecond laser pulse. Unlike in previous studies, the laser is focussed by a parabolic m ...

Experimental investigation of added mass effects on a hydrofoil under cavitation conditions

Mohamed Farhat, Eduard Egusquiza

The influence of leading edge sheet cavitation and supercavitation on the added mass effects experienced by a 2-D NACA0009 truncated hydrofoil has been experimentally investigated in a hydrodynamic tunnel. A non-intrusive excitation and measuring system ba ...

Energy partition at the collapse of spherical cavitation bubbles

Mohamed Farhat, Nicolas Dorsaz, Danail Obreschkow, Philipp Kobel, Marc Tinguely, Aurèle De Bosset

Spherically collapsing cavitation bubbles produce a shock wave followed by a rebound bubble. Here we present a systematic investigation of the energy partition between the rebound and the shock. Highly spherical cavitation bubbles are produced in micrograv ...

Analysis of the dynamic response of pump-turbine runners- Part I: Experiment

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Xiaopeng Huang, Eduard Egusquiza

When in operation, pump-turbine runners have to withstand large pressure pulsations generated by the rotor-stator interaction. The analysis of the dynamic behavior of these structures is necessary to avoid damage. For this analysis a realistic model of the ...

The Effects of a Tripped Turbulent Boundary Layer on Vortex Shedding from a Blunt Trailing Edge Hydrofoil

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Ausoni, Amirreza Zobeiri

Experiments on vortex shedding from a blunt trailing edge symmetric hydrofoil operating at zero angle of attack in a uniform high speed flow, Re-h = 16.1 . 10(3) - 96.6 . 10(3), where the reference length h is the trailing edge thickness, are reported. The ...

Analytical approximations for the collapse of an empty spherical bubble

Mohamed Farhat, Danail Obreschkow

The Rayleigh equation 3/2 (R) over dot + R(R) double over dot + p rho(-1) = 0 with initial conditions R(0) = R-0, (R) over dot(0) = 0 models the collapse of an empty spherical bubble of radius R(T) in an ideal, infinite liquid with far-field pressure p and ...
