We report numerical evidences of the influence of the blades' shape and of their direction of rotation on turbulent flows generated by counter-rotating bladed-disks enclosed in a cylinder, known as the von K\'arm\'an swirling flow. We show…
We use Diffusing Wave Spectroscopy (DWS) to perform the first direct space- and time-resolved measurement of the dissipation rate~$\epsilon$ at the boundary of a turbulent flow. We have shown in a previous publication that this technique…
In a dissipative system, there exists the (global) attractor which has finite fractal dimensions. The flow on the attractor can be parametrized by a finite number of parameters (Temmam 1987). Using machine learning we demonstrate how to…
Granular flows down inclined channels with smooth boundaries are common in nature and in the industry. Nevertheless, the common setup of flat boundaries has comparatively been much less investigated than the bumpy boundaries one, which is…
