We study generalised quasilinear (GQL) approximations applied to turbulent plane Couette flow. The GQL framework is explored in conjunction with a Galerkin reduced-order model (ROM) recently developed by Cavalieri & Nogueira (Phys. Rev. Fluids 7, L102601, 2022), which considers controllability modes of the linearised Navier-Stokes system as basis f...
This work introduces a novel methodology for the development of interpretable reduced-order dynamic models specifically tailored for jumping quadruped robots. Leveraging Symbolic Regression combined with autoencoder neural networks, the framework autonomously derives symbolic equations from data and fundamental physics principles capturing the comp...

Reduced-order models based on physics are a popular choice in cardiovascular modeling due to their efficiency, but they may experience loss in accuracy when working with anatomies that contain numerous junctions or pathological conditions. We develop one-dimensional reduced-order models that simulate blood flow dynamics using a graph neural network...
In order to decrease their environmental impact, turboengine manufacturers tend to increase the span of fan blades while maintaining a slender profile. This design leads to more pronounced geometrical nonlinear effects. Computing the frequency response function of such structures is complicated due to the size of their associated finite element mod...
Dynamical systems are often subject to algebraic constraints in conjunction to their governing ordinary differential equations. In particular, multibody systems are commonly subject to configuration constraints that define kinematic compatibility between the motion of different bodies. A full-scale numerical simulation of such constrained problems ...

Scaffolds are microporous biocompatible structures that serve as material support for cells to proliferate, differentiate and form functional tissue. In particular, in the field of bone regeneration, insertion of scaffolds in a proper physiological environment is known to favour bone formation by releasing calcium ions, among others, triggering dif...
Before the final experimental validation and certification of a turbo-engine, designers perform a numerical simulation of its vibratory properties, among other things, in order to estimate its lifespan and adjust the design in an optimization process. One possible practical solution to decrease the vibratory response is to add underplatform dampers...

In this work we provide a novel energy-consistent formulation for the classical 1D formulation of blood flow in an arterial segment. The resulting reformulation is shown to be suitable for the coupling with a lumped (0D) model of the heart that incorporates a reduced formulation of the actin-myosin interaction. The coupling being consistent with en...

Cyclic structures such as turbomachinery present material and geometrical variations between sectors. These discrepancies are called mistuning and break the cyclic symmetry of the structure. Computing the forced response of mistuned cyclic structures is thus a numerical challenge. The component nonlinear complex mode synthesis (CNCMS) is one of the...
