Mean-field transport equations and energy theorem for plasma edge turbulent transport

This paper establishes a mean-field equation set and an energy theorem to provide a theoretical basis in view of the development of self-consistent, physics-based turbulent transport models for mean-field transport codes. A rigorous averaging procedure ide ...

Temporal Prediction of Landslide-Generated Waves Using a Theoretical-Statistical Combined Method

Christophe Ancey, Zhenzhu Meng, Yating Hu

For the prediction of landslide-generated waves, previous studies have developed numerous empirical equations to express the maximums of wave characteristics as functions of slide parameters upon impact. In this study, we built the temporal relationship be ...

Zero Parasitic Shift Pivoting Kinematic Structures Based On Coupled N-RRR Planar Parallel Mechanisms For Flexure Pivot Design

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann

Flexure pivots, which are widely used for precision mechanisms, generally have the drawback of presenting parasitic shifts accompanying their rotation. The known solutions for canceling these undesirable parasitic translations usually induce a loss in radi ...

Turbulent transport regimes in the tokamak boundary and operational limits

Paolo Ricci, Maurizio Giacomin

Two-fluid, three-dimensional, flux-driven, global, electromagnetic turbulence simulations carried out by using the GBS (Global Braginskii Solver) code are used to identify the main parameters controlling turbulent transport in the tokamak boundary and to d ...

Interpretation of electromagnetic modes in the sub-TAE frequency range in JET plasmas with elevated monotonic q-profiles

Paulo Giovane Paschoali Pereira Puglia

Recent JET deuterium experiments with an advanced tokamak scenario using an internal transport barrier (ITB) have been performed to clearly observe destabilized toroidicity-induced Alfven eigenmodes (TAEs) by fast ions; interestingly, these also exhibit un ...

Geometric mixing

Nicolas Piro Mastracchio

Mixing fluids often involves a periodic action, like stirring one's tea. But reciprocating motions in fluids at low Reynolds number, in Stokes flows where inertia is negligible, lead to periodic cycles of mixing and unmixing, because the physics, molecular ...

Breaking of Internal Waves and Turbulent Dissipation in an Anticyclonic Mode Water Eddy

Bieito Fernandez Castro

A four-month glider mission was analyzed to assess turbulent dissipation in an anticyclonic eddy at the western boundary of the subtropical North Atlantic. The eddy (radius ≈ 60 km) had a core of low potential vorticity between 100–450 m, with maximum radi ...

Hydrodynamic loading of perforated disks in creeping flows

François Gallaire, Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Lorenzo Siconolfi, Matteo Pezzulla

We present results from an experimental investigation of a viscous fluid driven through and around porous disks at low and moderate Reynolds number conditions: Re = O(10(-4)-10(-3)) and Re = O(1-10). Specifically, we quantify the hydrodynamic drag that the ...

On the Dynamics of Magnetic Swimmers in Stokes Flow

Pauline Marie Rüegg-Reymond

In the past decade, the engineering community has conceived, manufactured and tested micro-swimmers, i.e. microscopic devices which can be steered in their intended environment. Foreseen applications range from microsurgery and targeted drug delivery to en ...

Viscous growth and rebound of a bubble near a rigid surface

François Gallaire, Giacomo Gallino

Motivated by the dynamics of microbubbles near catalytic surfaces in bubble-powered microrockets, we consider theoretically the growth of a free spherical bubble near a flat no-slip surface in a Stokes flow. The flow at the bubble surface is characterised ...

Coexistence of Drift Waves and D'Angelo Modes at Different Position and Frequency in Linear Plasma Device

Minh Quang Tran, Nathan Dupertuis

Experimental plasma discharges in linear PANTA device are studied by Mach probe measurements, providing floating potential, ion saturation current, and parallel flow velocity time evolution, at different radii of the device. Spectral analysis indicates tha ...

Multiscale model reduction methods for flow in heterogeneous porous media

Assyr Abdulle, Ondrej Budác

In this paper we provide a general framework for model reduction methods applied to fluid flow in porous media. Using reduced basis and numerical homogenization techniques we show that the complexity of the numerical approximation of Stokes flow in heterog ...

Multiscale methods for Stokes flow in heterogeneous media

Ondrej Budác

Fluid flow in porous media is a multiscale process where the effective dynamics, which is often the goal of a computation, depends strongly on the porous micro structure. Resolving the micro structure in the whole porous medium can, however, be prohibitive ...

From the free surface flow of a viscoelastic fluid towards the elastic deformation of a solid

Marco Picasso

The free surface flow of an Oldroyd-B viscoelastic fluid is considered, following A. Bonito, M. Picasso, and M. Laso (2006)[1]. When removing a term in the extra-stress constitutive relation, the description of an elastic incompressible solid is obtained, ...

Marangoni induced force on a drop in a Hele Shaw cell

François Gallaire, Philippe Meliga

We analyse the force balance on a cylindrical drop in a Hele-Shaw cell, subjected to a Marangoni flow caused by a surface tension gradient. Depth-averaged Stokes equations, called Brinkman equations, are introduced and a general closed form solution is obt ...

Turbulent regimes in the tokamak scrape-off layer

Annamaria Mosetto

The tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) is the plasma region characterized by open field lines that start and end on the vessel walls. The plasma dynamics in the SOL plays a crucial role in determining the overall performance of a tokamak, since it controls the ...

A numerical study of droplet trapping in microfluidic devices

François Gallaire, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun, Mathias Nagel

Microfluidic channels are powerful means of control of minute volumes such as droplets. These droplets are usually conveyed at will in an externally imposed flow which follows the geometry of the micro-channel. It has recently been pointed out by Dangla et ...

Numerical simulation of 3D free surface flows, with multiple incompressible immiscible phases. Applications to impulse waves

Marco Picasso, Alexandre Caboussat

A numerical method for the solution to the density-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations modeling the flow of N immiscible incompressible liquid phases with a free surface is proposed. It allows to model the flow of an arbitrary number of liquid ...

3D ALE Finite-Element Method for Two-Phase Flows With Phase Change

John Richard Thome, Navid Borhani, Gustavo Rabello Dos Anjos

We seek to study numerically two-phase flow phenomena with phase change through the finite-element method (FEM) and the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) framework. This method is based on the so-called one-fluid formulation; thus, only one set of equati ...
