Modeling and analysis of swirling flow in cyclone separators using various hybrid scale-resolving approaches

Mustafa Ishak Benzaza, David Uystepruyst, François Beaubert, Damien Méresse, François Delcourt, Céline Morin

This work investigates both experimentally and numerically the turbulent flow within cyclonic separators using DES and VLES turbulence methods. Numerical predictions are validated against Hoekstra’s experimental data, showing that DES accurately captures the tangential velocity and pressure drop,…

Scalable multitask Gaussian processes for complex mechanical systems with functional covariates

Razak Christophe Sabi Gninkou, Andrés F. López-Lopera, Franck Massa, Rodolphe Le Riche

Functional covariates arise in many scientific and engineering applications when model inputs take the form of time-dependent or spatially distributed profiles, such as varying boundary conditions or changing material behaviours. In addition, new practices in digital simulation require predictions…

Foam cleaning in closed circuits: effect of surfactant type on foam structure and Bacillus subtilis spore removal from stainless steel surfaces

Ahmad Al Saabi, Heni Dallagi, Piyush Kumar Jha, Fethi Aloui, Thierry Benezech, Christine Faille

Foam cleaning represents an environmentally and economically attractive alternative to conventional cleaning-in-place (CIP) processes for removing microbial contamination in food and bioprocessing industries. This study systematically compared three surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS),…

Scalable Sparse Co-Kriging for Multi-Fidelity Data Fusion : An Application to Aerodynamics

Mauricio Castaño-Aguirre, Andrés F. López-Lopera, Nathalie Bartoli, Franck Massa, Thierry Lefebvre

Multi-fidelity Kriging surrogate modeling combines data of varying accuracy, such as experimental tests and numerical simulations, to improve predictive performance. Autoregressive models are commonly used to capture correlations across fidelity levels, offering interpretability compared to purely…

Design and manufacturing method for the production of soft tensegrity structures and mechanisms

Jérémy Sand, François Geiskopf, Salih Abdelaziz, Philippe Poignet, Pierre Renaud

Soft tensegrities are prestressed assemblies of soft elastic cables and rigid bars. They combine the interest of tensegrities, with high payload to weight ratio, stiffness tunable by the internal prestress, and the interest of soft robots with a large compliance thanks to the use of soft elastic…

Quantification of the variability of the geometric properties of fibres and impact on mechanical behaviour of short-vegetal-fibre reinforced PP

D. Notta-Cuvier, F. Lauro, F. Massa

Short-fibre-reinforced thermoplastics (SFRT), processed by injection moulding, are commonly used in the automotive sector and the use of vegetal fibres in replacement of mineral glass fibres is booming. Yet, the great variability of the geometric and mechanical properties of the vegetal fibres, and…

Classification of wear mechanisms in hot forming of aluminium alloy by machine and deep learning approaches

Philippe Moreau, Panuwat Soranansri, Lucas Morin, Donatien Claeyssens-Beaupere, Fabien Béchet, Franck Massa, André Dubois, Laurent Dubar, Ahmed Snoun, Thierry Delot

Sustainable manufacturing emphasises lubricant-free forming to reduce costs, chemical exposure and environmental impact. In high-temperature forming of aluminium alloys, this approach results in direct contact between the part and tools, leading to material transfer and surface defects. Amorphous…
