An Equation-Free Approach For Second Order Multiscale Hyperbolic Problems In Non-Divergence Form

Doghonay Arjmand

The present study concerns the numerical homogenization of second order hyperbolic equations in non-divergence form, where the model problem includes a rapidly oscillating coefficient function. These small scales influence the large scale behavior, hence t ...

Physical and 3D Numerical Simulations of the Flow in the Tailrace of a Hydroelectric Power Plant to Design Fishway Entries

Giovanni De Cesare, Pierre Bourqui

This work is part of a project aiming at dimensioning a fishway for a hydroelectric power plant on the Rhine River. Here we only focus on the design of the fishway entrances, for which a physical model of the draft tubes and tailrace of the powerplant was ...

Flexure-Pivot Oscillator Restoring Torque Nonlinearity and Isochronism Defect

Simon Nessim Henein, Mohammad Hussein Kahrobaiyan, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann

Flexure pivot based oscillators can advantageously replace the hairspring and balance wheel, the time base used in mechanical watches, by drastically reducing friction. However, flexure pivots have drawbacks including gravity sensitivity and restoring torq ...

Using Electromagnetic Time Reversal to Locate Faults in Transmission Lines: Definition and Application of the Mirrored Minimum Energy Property

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Mario Paolone, Reza Razzaghi, Zhaoyang Wang, Asia Codino

This paper presents an application of the Electro-magnetic Time Reversal (EMTR) in changing media to identify the fault location along a single-conductor transmission line. It is shown that the time-reversed quantities exhibit a property, called Mirrored M ...

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 ...

Mechanical impact of dynamic phenomena in Francis turbines at off design conditions

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel

At partial load and overload conditions, Francis turbines are subjected to hydraulic instabilities that can potentially result in high dynamic solicitations of the turbine components and significantly reduce their lifetime. This study presents both experim ...
