In this work we are interested in the numerical solution of the steady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for fluid flow in pipes with varying curvatures and cross-sections. We intend to compute a reduced basis approximation of the solution, employing ...
Ionic wind devices or electrostatic fluid accelerators are becoming of increasing interest as tools for thermal management, in particular for semiconductor devices. In this work, we present a numerical model for predicting the performance of such devices; ...
The avalanche-dynamics approach has a long history in avalanche prediction. In the absence of computers, scientists and engineers focused on idealized models in which avalanches were seen as rigid sliding blocks. Although the resulting governing equation w ...
The phenomena of bed forms exist widely in the natural rivers and are still not fully understood. The detailed sediment dynamics near the bed is essential for this problem. However, the fluid dynamics near the bed, which drives the sediment motion, is not ...
Inclinometry with embedded probes is analyzed with a Stokes model of a solid body floating in a fluid with much smaller viscosity for a two-dimensional flow field. The assumption that such a probe behaves like a Lagrangian unit vector is only justified for ...
Experiments were undertaken to investigate dam-break flows where a finite volume of highly viscous fluid (glucose with viscosity μ ≈ 350 Pa s) maintained behind a lock gate was released into a horizontal or inclined flume. The resulting sequence of flow-de ...
We report experimental results related to the dam-break problem for viscoplastic fluids. Using image processing techniques, we were able to accurately reconstruct the free-surface evolution of fixed volumes of fluid suddenly released on an inclined plane. ...
We adapt an existing asymptotic method to set up a one-dimensional model for the fall of a closed filament in an in finite fluid in the Stokes regime. Starting from the single-layer integral representation of the fluid velocity around the filament, we get, ...
The purpose of this thesis is the study, from the numerical simulation point of view, of the aluminum electrolysis process. Navier-Stokes equations for the computation of a two fluids flow with free interface are coupled with Maxwell equations describing t ...
The objective of this review is to examine how the concept of plasticity is used in geophysical fluid dynamics. Rapid mass movements such as snow avalanches or debris flows involve slurries of solid particles (ice, boulder, clay, etc.) within an interstiti ...
