The influence of the air entrained by water jets on the dynamic pressures applied on the bottom of a plunge pool and inside underlying fissures was analyzed with systematic experiments. The large experimental facility reproduced aerated high-velocity jets ...

Hydroacoustic Modeling of a Cavitation Vortex Rope for a Francis Turbine

Christian Landry

Hydraulic machines subject to off-design operation involve the presence of cavitating flow regimes in the draft tube. The cavitation vortex rope at part load conditions is described as an excitation source for the hydraulic system, and interactions between ...

Interfacing dielectric elastomer actuators with liquids

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin, Luc Maffli

Methods and materials for liquid encapsulation in thin (19 μm) silicone membranes are presented in this work. A set of 12 liquids including solvents, oils, silicone pre-polymers and one ionic liquid are experimentally tested. We show that all selected liqu ...

Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering2015

The adsorption of water on etched (001) surfaces of L-, D- and DL-valine crystals has been characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) using different operational modes (contact, non-contact and electrostatic) above and below the dew point, the temperat ...

The effect of pressure gradient on the collapse of cavitation bubbles in normal and reduced gravity

Marc Tinguely

When water flows through hydraulic turbomachines, the local pressure can become low enough to vaporize the water and create vapor cavities. This phenomenon is called cavitation. When the cavities collapse, shock waves and liquid jets traveling through the ...

EPFL2013

First measurements of the self-dynamics of liquid water in the GPa range are reported. The GPa range has here become accessible through a new setup for the Paris-Edinburgh press specially conceived for quasielastic neutron scattering studies. A direct meas ...

3D Phase-Field Simulation of Micropore Formation during Solidification: Morphological Analysis

Michel Rappaz, Alain Jacot, Hossein Meidani

A 3D multiphase-field (PhF) model has been developed in order to study the formation of a micropore constrained to grow in a solid network (i.e., pinching effect). The model accounts for the pressure difference due to capillarity between liquid and gas, th ...

Cavitation risk estimation at orifice spillway based on UVP and dynamic pressure measurements

Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Pfister, Michael Müller, Rafael Xavier Meriade Duarte

Orifice spillways might be affected by cavitation if the profile of the inlet structure includes a relevant curvature. At one of the world’s largest dams, such damages were observed on the profiled slab. To limit their progression, an adapted operation reg ...

Three-dimensional phase-field simulation of micropore formation during solidification: Morphological analysis and pinching effect

Michel Rappaz, Alain Jacot, Jean-Luc Desbiolles, Hossein Meidani

A three-dimensional (3-D) multiphase-field model has been developed in order to study the formation of a micropore constrained to grow in a solid network (i.e. pinching effect). The model accounts for the pressure difference due to capillarity between liqu ...

Elsevier2012

High-velocity plunging jets, issuing from ood release structures of dams, may result in scouring of the rocky riverbed and even endanger the foundation of the dams. Assessment of the scour extent is essential to ensure the safety of the dam and appurtenant ...
