A new nonlinear integral-equation model is derived in terms of hodograph variables for free-surface flow past an arbitrary bottom obstruction. A numerical method, carefully chosen to solve the resulting nonlinear algebraic equations and a simple, yet effective radiation condition have led to some very encouraging results. In this paper, results are presented for a semi-circular obstruction and are compared with

The current project is a study of the Laplace equation that is used nowadays in many applications related to the electrical, magnetic, gravitational potentials, steady state temperatures, and in hydrodynamics.. The system corresponds to an elliptic second order partial differential equation and is widely used in the study of the inviscid incompressible potential flow in fluid mechanics. To solve this equation, numerical methods are used and different schemes are introduced to better control the solution through stability, accuracy and consistency. In what follows, a numerical study and investigation of the 2D Laplace Equation.

A model of a rowing scull has been developed, comprising the full motion in the symmetry plane and the interaction with the hydrodynamics. A particular emphasis has been given to the energy dissipation due to the secondary movements activated by the motion of the rowers and the intermittent forcing terms. Numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed procedure. Copyright© 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The modeling of tsunami generation is an essential phase in understanding tsunamis. For tsunamis generated by underwater earthquakes, it involves the modeling of the sea bottom motion as well as the resulting motion of the water above. A comparison between various models for three-dimensional water motion, ranging from linear theory to fully nonlinear theory, is performed. It is found that for most events the linear theory is sufficient. However, in some cases, more-sophisticated theories are needed. Moreover, it is shown that the passive approach in which the seafloor deformation is simply translated to the ocean surface is not always equivalent to the active approach in which the bottom motion is taken into account, even if the deformation is supposed to be instantaneous.

This paper addresses the potential flow-induced vibrations and fretting-wear of helically coiled tubes of the once-through steam generator employed at an integral type nuclear reactor, where the tubes are subjected to liquid cross-flow externally and multi-phase flow internally. The thermal-hydraulic conditions of both tube side and shell side flow fields are predicted using a general purpose computational fluid dynamics code

This paper presents a partial sheet cavitation model and its validation. The partial sheet cavitation model has been developed and implemented within an unsteady potential flow code. However, as proposed in the model, there exists a relationship between the sheet cavitation geometry and the pressure distribution in non-cavitating condition, so the model can be implemented in various flow solvers.
