The interaction of supercritical turbulent flows with granular sediment beds is challenging to study both experimentally and numerically; this challenging task has hampered the advances in understanding antidunes, the most characteristic…
We aim to reconstruct the shape of an exogenous, heavy solid contained in a tank from measurements of the liquid level in the tank as it drains (driven by gravity) through a small orifice in its side. (Because the solid displaces liquid,…

The splat formed after drop impact on supercooled solid surfaces sticks to it. On the contrary, a sublimating supercooled surface such as dry ice inhibits pinning and therefore efficiently rebounds drops made of a variety of liquids. While…
We present a new model for two phase Darcy flows in fractured media, in which fractures are modelled as submanifolds of codimension one with respect to the surrounding domain (matrix). Fractures can act as drains or as barriers, since…

Plasma diagnostics often employ computerized tomography to estimate emissivity profiles from a finite, and often limited, number of line-integrated measurements. Decades of algorithmic refinement have brought considerable improvements, and…
