Numerical and Experimental Study on the Effects of Taylor Number on the Wavelength of the Couette-Taylor Flow

Mostafa Monfared, Ebrahim Shirani, Fethi Aloui, Mohammad Reza Salimpour

In the present study, the hydrodynamic behaviours of the Couette Taylor flow in different flow regimes were investigated, experimentally and numerically.In this research, the effects of Taylor number on wavelength of the flow, which are two important hydrodynamic charactristics of the Couette…

Aero-Thermal Optimization of a Heat Sink using Variable Neighbourhood Search

Pierre-Olivier Jandaud, Louis Lambourg, Souad Harmand

This paper presents a geometrical optimization of a heat sink modelled using three-dimensional CFD. The heat sink studied is circular with radial inlets and parallel fins. The parameters of the optimization are the different spacings between the fins. The optimization process is multi-objective and…

An enhanced experimental procedure to rationalize on the impairment of perception of action capabilities

Yannick Daviaux, Sylvain Cremoux, Jessica Tallet, David Amarantini, Christophe Cornu, Thibault Deschamps

It is well documented that changes in the physiological states of the perceiver-actor influence the perception of action capabilities. However, because experimental procedures of most studies involved a limitless availability for stimuli visual encoding and perceptual strategies, it remains…

Turbulent Plane Impinging Jet-Physical Insight and Turbulence Modeling

Mahmoud Charmiyan, Ahmed-Reza Azimian, Laurent Keirsbulck, Ebrahim Shirani, Fethi Aloui

A 3D numerical simulation using large eddy simulation (LES) method is performed for a submerged turbulent water slot jet impinging normally on a flat plate with a nozzle-to-plate distance of 10 jet width and a Reynolds number of 16000 and the results are compared with the existing experimental data…

Ergonomics of load transport in the seed harvesting ant Messor barbarus Linnæus, 1767: morphology influences transportation method and efficiency

Abel Bernadou, Antoine Felden, Mathieu Moreau, Pierre Moretto, Vincent Fourcassié

We studied in the field the load transport behaviour of workers of the polymorphic Mediterranean seed harvester ant Messor barbarus. Individual ants used two different methods to transport food items: carrying or dragging. The probability of dragging instead of carrying varied significantly with…

Turbulent Flows Structures Crossing Conical Diffusers: Angle Effect Analysis using PIV Technique and POD for Post-Processing

Emna Berrich, Fethi Aloui, D Pierrat, L Gros, Anthony Couzinet, Jack Legrand

In this work, we investigated experimentally the hydrodynamics of flows crossing conical diffusers. On our previous work (Aloui et al., 2011), CFD turbulent models were validated for flows crossing the critical angle (2α=16°). Indeed, the PIV data base constructed was exploited to validate a…

Scavenging Process Analysis in a 2-Stroke Engine by CFD Approach for a Parametric 0D Model Development

Stéphanie Cagin, Nachida Bourabaa, Eric Delacourt, Céline Morin, Xavier Fischer, Daniel Coutellier, Bertrand Carre, Sylvain Loumé

This paper presents a method to improve cylinder design of 2-stroke auto-ignition engine based on a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) study of internal flows in the chamber and an unsteady global 0D parametric approach. In 2-stroke engine, scavenging process plays an important role regarding…

A new reduced model of scavenging to optimize cylinder design

Stéphanie Cagin, Xavier Fischer, Eric Delacourt, Nachida Bourabaa, Céline Morin, Daniel Coutellier, Bertrand Carre, Sylvain Loumé

This paper presents the development of a new scavenging model to optimize cylinder design. The developed model explicitly integrates some of the cylinder’s design and environmental variables to describe flows during the scavenging process. Then, based on the reduced model, an optimization phase was…

Increased antagonist muscle activity in cervical SCI patients suggests altered reciprocal inhibition during elbow contractions

Sylvain Cremoux, David Amarantini, Jessica Tallet, Fabien Dal Maso, Eric Berton

Objective: After spinal cord injury (SCI), the antagonist muscles activation is increased during voluntary contractions and reflex conditioning protocols. This increase can be the result of both muscle atrophy and reciprocal facilitation mechanism. It remains however unclear to what extent…
