Estimating Non-Conductive Heat Flow Leading to Intra-Permafrost Talik Formation at the Ritigraben Rock Glacier (Western Swiss Alps)

Although non-conductive heat flow plays an important role in the evolution of rock glacier temperature and dynamics, few studies have quantified it. At the Ritigraben rock glacier (Switzerland), intra-permafrost talik formation was observed at around 12m d ...

Two-Phase Mini-Thermosyphon Electronics Cooling, Part 4: Application to 2U Servers

John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen, Nicolas Lamaison, Chin Lee Ong

This paper is the fourth part of the present study on two-phase mini-thermosyphon cooling. As mentioned in the first three parts, gravity-driven cooling systems using microchannel flow boiling can become a long-term scalable solution for cooling of datacen ...

Simulation of bubble expansion and collapse in the vicinity of a free surface

Mohamed Farhat, Outi Supponen

The present paper focuses on the numerical simulation of the interaction of laser-generated bubbles with a free surface, including comparison of the results with instances from high-speed videos of the experiment. The Volume Of Fluid method was employed fo ...

Two-Phase Mini-Thermosyphon Electronics Cooling, Part 3: Transient Modeling and Experimental Validation

John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen, Nicolas Lamaison, Chin Lee Ong

This paper is the third part of the present study on two-phase mini-thermosyphon cooling systems. As mentioned in the first two parts, gravity-driven cooling systems using microchannel flow boiling are a very promising long-term viable solution for electro ...

Infrared measurements of the heat flux spreading under variable divertor geometries in TCV

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Umar Sheikh, Federico Nespoli, Roberto Maurizio

The safe and stable operation of a future fusion reactor depends critically on the ability to control the heat loads on the material surfaces facing the plasma. The heat fluxes are particularly high at the strike points in the divertor, where the plasma in ...

Intercomparison of Terrain-Following Coordinate Transformation and Immersed Boundary Methods for Large-Eddy Simulation of Wind Fields over Complex Terrain

Fernando Porté Agel, Jiannong Fang

Accurate modeling of complex terrain, especially steep terrain, in the simulation of wind fields remains a challenge. It is well known that the terrain-following coordinate transformation method (TFCT) generally used in atmospheric flow simulations is rest ...

Approximation numérique des écoulements turbulents dans des cuves d'électrolyse de l'aluminium

Jonathan Rochat

Aluminium is a metal extracted from bauxite ore using electrolysis process in cells of big size. A huge electric current goes in the cell through an electrolytic bath and aluminium liquid. These currents generate strong magnetic forces that allow the bath ...

The stability of a rising droplet: an inertialess non-modal growth mechanism

François Gallaire, Lailai Zhu, Giacomo Gallino

Prior modal stability analysis (Kojima et al., Phys. Fluids, vol. 27, 1984, pp. 19-32) predicted that a rising or sedimenting droplet in a viscous fluid is stable in the presence of surface tension no matter how small, in contrast to experimental and numer ...

Effect of Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation on soil thermal conductivity

Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis, Sara Venuleo

Energy piles efficiency is strongly affected by soil saturation conditions: low water contents considerably decrease their performance thus limiting the possibility to extend their application in arid environments. This paper investigates the MICP (Microbi ...

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 ...
