Crack front waves: A 3D dynamic response to a local perturbation of tensile and shear cracks

Jean-François Molinari, Fabian Barras, Damien Spielmann, Fatima-Ezzahra Fekak

Crack front waves are long-lived perturbations propagating along the crack front. They are triggered by heterogeneities on the crack plane, as for instance tough asperities, which disturb the crack front shape. Crack front waves are thought to leave a trac ...

Constraint-aware neural networks for Riemann problems

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Deep Ray

Neural networks are increasingly used in complex (data-driven) simulations as surrogates or for accelerating the computation of classical surrogates. In many applications physical constraints, such as mass or energy conservation, must be satisfied to obtai ...

Comparative study between Cubic and Ellipsoidal Fokker-Planck kinetic models

Mohammadhossein Gorji

Motivated by improving the performance of particle-based Monte-Carlo simulations in the transitional regime, Fokker–Planck kinetic models have been devised and studied as approximations of the Boltzmann collision operator. By generalizing the linear drift ...

Collapse phenomena of deformed cavitation bubbles

Outi Supponen

Cavitation bubbles are a topic of long-standing interest owing to the powerful phenomena associated with their collapse. Their unique ability to focus energy typically causes damage in hydraulic machinery (turbines, pumps, propellers, ...) but, if managed ...

Impact of rotating and fixed nozzles on vortex breakdown in compressible swirling jet flows

François Gallaire, Leonhard Kleiser

Vortex breakdown of swirling, round jet flows is investigated in the compressible, subsonic regime by means of Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). This is achieved by solving the compressible Navier-Stokes equations on a cylindrical grid using high-order sp ...

Efficient Absorbing Layers for Weakly Compressible Flows

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Zhen Gao

Seeking to develop efficient and accurate absorbing layers for the low-speed weakly compressible Navier-Stokes equations, we exploit the connection to the BGK-approximation to develop an absorbing layer with qualities similar to that of the perfectly match ...

Flow simulation of a Pelton bucket using finite volume particle method

François Avellan, Ebrahim Jahanbakhsh, Christian Vessaz

The objective of the present paper is to perform an accurate numerical simulation of the high-speed water jet impinging on a Pelton bucket. To reach this goal, the Finite Volume Particle Method (FVPM) is used to discretize the governing equations. FVPM is ...

High Voltage Pulsed DBD Effects on the Aerodynamic Performances and on the Shock Buffet

Christoph Hollenstein, Peter Ott, Pénélope Leyland, Philip Peschke

The applications of surface dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators, (DBD), have known a considerable interest recently in the field of flow control. In general, such actuators consist of two electrodes separated by an insulation covering the lower e ...

Characterization of the Flow Generated in an Annular Test Facility

Peter Ott, Elia Colombo, Dominique Charbonnier, Cécile Deslot

Annular cascades are particularly useful to study the three dimensional phenomena encountered in turbomachines. The Non-Rotating Annular Test Facility of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) consists in a radial-axial inlet nozzle a ...

Investigation on the Three-Dimensional Flow Mechanisms in Annular Axial Compressor Cascades for Aero Engines with Flow Control by Aspiration on the Hub and on the Blades

Elia Colombo

The axial compressor is an essential component of aero-engines and gas turbines. This work investigates how flow control by aspiration applied to the hub and to the blades of axial compressor wheels can improve the static pressure rise by preventing detrim ...
