Numerical modelling of radiating superorbital flows

Numerical modelling of foam Couette flows.

A numerical computation based on a tensorial visco-elasto-plastic model based on continuous mechanics is compared to experimental measurements on liquid foams for a bidimensional Couette flow between two glass plates, both in stationary and transient cases. The main features of the model are elasticity up to a plastic yield stress, and viscoelasticity above it. The effect of the friction of the...

Several Unresolved Issues in Numerical Modelling of Geophysical Flows

This paper discusses several issues in the numerical modelling of atmospheric flow which have been left unresolved. These include the influence of partial model resolution of features that are represented in a model by only a few grid points and the implication of this inadequacy in terms of the parametrization of subgrid-scale processes. As a result of nonlinear interactions, this lack of reso...

Asymptotic and numerical modelling of flows in fractured porous media

This study concerns some asymptotic models used to compute the flow outside and inside fractures in a bidimensional porous medium. The flow is governed by the Darcy law both in the fractures and in the porous matrix with large discontinuities in the permeability tensor. These fractures are supposed to have a small thickness with respect to the macroscopic length scale, so that we can asymptotic...

Numerical Modelling of the Segmental Lining of Underground Structures

There are several methods for analysing the behaviour of underground structures under different loading conditions. Most of these methods have many simplifications; therefore, in some cases, the results are too conservative and a very high safety factor, usually of more than 2 is needed. On the other hand, for stability analysis and the designing of support systems, these methods consider segme...
