Ghahramani, Ebrahim (author), Jahangir, S. (author), Neuhauser, Magdalena (author), Bourgeois, Sébastien (author), Poelma, C. (author), Bensow, Rickard E. (author)In this paper, the cavitating flow around a bluff body is studied both experimentally and numerically. The bluff body has a finite length with semi-circular cross section and is mounted on a surface in the throat of a converging-diverging channel. This set-up creates various 3D flow structures around the body, from cavitation inception to...journal article 2020

Jahangir, S. (author), Ghahramani, Ebrahim (author), Neuhauser, Magdalena (author), Bourgeois, Sébastien (author), Bensow, Rickard E. (author), Poelma, C. (author)The objective of this study is to investigate the collapsing behavior of cavitation, which leads to erosion. For this purpose, an experimental investigation was performed in a channel with a semi-circular cylinder obstacle at the Hydraulic Laboratory of ANDRITZ HYDRO in Vevey. Cavitation was achieved by employing a range of pressure differences...conference paper 2019

Hogendoorn, W.J. (author), Poelma, C. (author)Using ultrasound in plane wave imaging mode, in combination with a proper processing strategy and the covariance function approach, we can not only better estimate the actual turbulence statistics, but we are also able to measure turbulent flows with much higher Reynolds numbers. Optimising the processing strategy by using a sliding correlation...conference paper 2019

Dash, A. (author), Anantharaman, Arjun (author), Greidanus, A.J. (author), Poelma, C. (author)Ultrasound Imaging Velocimetry (UIV) is applied to a Taylor-Couette flow, for the case of pure inner cylinder rotation. By imaging a radial-azimuthal plane, two velocity components are obtained simultaneously in a two-dimensional plane. For the single-phase flow studies, Iriodin flakes (commonly used for visualizing flow structures) are used as ...conference paper 2019

Schreier, S. (author), Cornel, W.A. (author), Poelma, C. (author)The dynamic response of pressure sensors for model tests of sloshing impacts is paramount to recording these highly dynamic events. In this study, we investigated the dynamic behavior of the new pressure sensors presented at ISOPE 2018 (Schreier and Poelma, 2018), which increased the spatial resolution of sloshing pressure measurements by a...conference paper 2019

(author), van Driel, W.D. (author)Commercially available gravimeters and seismometers can be used for measuring Earth’s acceleration at resolution levels in the order of ng∕Hz (where g represents earth’s gravity) but they are typically high-cost and bulky. In this work the design of a bulk micromachined MEMS device exploiting non-linear buckling behaviour is described, aiming...journal article 2019

Rawat, Digvijay S. (author), Pourquie, M.J.B.M. (author), Poelma, C. (author)Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a powerful method to investigate aneurysms. The primary focus of most investigations has been to compute various hemodynamic parameters to assess the risk posed by an aneurysm. Despite the occurrence of transitional flow in aneurysms, turbulence has not received much attention. In this article, we...journal article 2019

Goyens, J. (author), Pourquie, M.J.B.M. (author), Poelma, C. (author), Westerweel, J. (author)The vestibular system in the inner ear senses angular head manoeuvres by endolymph fluid which deforms a gelatinous sensory structure (the cupula). We constructed computer models that include both the endolymph flow (using CFD modelling), the cupula deformation (using FEM modelling), and the interaction between both (using fluid–structure...journal article 2019

Jahangir, S. (author), Wagner, E.C. (author), Mudde, R.F. (author), Poelma, C. (author)Cavitation is a complicated multiphase phenomenon, where the production of vapor cavities leads to an opaque flow. Exploring the internal structures of the cavitating flows is one of the most significant challenges in this field of study. While it is not possible to visualize the interior of the cavity with visible light, we use X-ray...journal article 2019

Jahangir, S. (author), Wagner, E.C. (author), Mudde, R.F. (author), Poelma, C. (author)Cavitation is a complex multiphase phenomenon, where the production of vapor bubbles leads to opaqueness of the flow. While it is nearly impossible to visualize the interior of the cavitation region with visible light, we show that with X-ray computed tomography it is possible to obtain the time-averaged void fraction distribution in an...conference paper 2018

Schreier, S. (author), Poelma, C. (author)Sloshing impacts are highly dynamic and localized events. One problem in the measurement of sloshing impact pressures is the limited spatial resolution that can be achieved with current sensors.
