Transition structures in grass covered slopes of primary flood defences tested with the wave impact generator

The stability of grass covered slopes on primary flood defences under wave attack is an important aspect with respect to the strength of the entire dike. In a grass slope many transitions to objects (poles, stairs, fences, buildings et cetera) or other revetments (concrete, asphalt, placed block revetment) can be present. This can potentially...

Contribution à la transition dans la couche limite

A l'aide de la méthode du ruban vibrant de Schubauer et Klebanoff. on a étudié expérimentalement l'évolution tridimensionnelle d'une perturbation sinusoïdale locale introduite dans une couche limite laminaire. Les distributions de la vitesse moyenne et de l'intensité de la composante axiale de la turbulence, de même que le spectre d'énergie de...
