Flood of 23 November 2019 on the French Riviera: a comparison of discharges estimated by image analysis and hydrological modelling

Etienne Robert, Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau

The short and heavy rainfall events observed on the French Riviera often lead to flash floods on coastal catchments: during the flood of 2 October 2015, a peak discharge between 185 and 295 m(3)/s was estimated on the Brague at Biot at 8:00 PM, whereas the ...

Experimental realization and characterization of unstretched planar one-dimensional diffusion flames

Peter Monkewitz, Etienne Robert

A burner configuration that allows the creation of nearly unstretched one-dimensional diffusion flames has recently been introduced. This paper presents the first detailed characterization of flames produced in such a burner to assess how well they approac ...

Thermal-diffusive instabilities in unstretched, planar diffusion flames

Peter Monkewitz, Etienne Robert

The recent development of a novel research burner at EPFL has opened the way for experimental investigations of essentially unstretched planar diffusion flames. In particular, it has become feasible to experimentally validate theoretical models for thermal ...

Experimental investigation of unstrained diffusion flames and their instabilities

Etienne Robert

In this thesis, thermal-diffusive instabilities are studied experimentally in diffusion flames. The novel species injector of a recently developed research burner, consisting of an array of hypodermic needles, which allows to produce quasi one-dimensional ...

Experiments in a novel quasi-1D diffusion flame with variable bulk flow

Peter Monkewitz, Etienne Robert

The novel species injector of a recently developed research burner, consisting of an array of hypodermic needles, which allows to produce quasi one-dimensional unstrained diffusion flames has been improved. It is used in a new symmetric design with fuel an ...

Cavitation bubble behavior inside a liquid jet

François Avellan, Peter Monkewitz, Mohamed Farhat, Etienne Robert, Jacques Lettry

The growth and collapse of laser-induced vapor cavities inside axisymmetric free-falling liquid water jets have been studied. Bubbles of different size are generated at various distances from the jet axis and the effects on the jet interface are recorded b ...
