Physics of rowing oars
Romain Labbé, Jean-Philippe Boucher, Christophe Clanet +1
In each rowing sport, the oars have their very own characteristics most of the time selected through a long time experience. Here we address experimentally and theoretically the pr…
Thin or bulky: optimal aspect ratios for ship hulls
Jean-Philippe Boucher, Romain Labbé, Christophe Clanet +1
Empirical data reveals a broad variety of hull shapes among the different ship categories. We present a minimal theoretical approach to address the problem of ship hull optimisatio…
Rugged constant-temperature thermal anemometer
J. Palma, R. Labbé
Here we report a robust thermal anemometer which can be easily built. It was conceived to measure outdoor wind speeds, and for airspeed monitoring in wind tunnels and other indoor…
Influence of the fluid density on the statistics of power fluctuations in von Kármán swirling flows
A. Opazo, A. Sáez, G. Bustamante +1
Here we report experimental results on the fluctuations of injected power in confined turbulence. Specifically, we have studied a von Kármán swirling flow with constant external to…
Filamentary vortex in a swirling turbulent flow under strong stretching
R. Labbé, G. Bustamante
Energy dissipation and pressure fluctuations are features inherent to turbulent fluid motion, and the internal origin of spatial and temporal temperature fluctuations. By measuring…
Extreme statistics, Gaussian statistics, and superdiffusion in global magnitude fluctuations in turbulence
R. Labbé, G. Bustamante
Extreme value statistics, or extreme statistics for short, refers to the statistics that characterizes rare events of either unusually high or low intensity: climate disasters like…
