Accurate prediction of urban wind flow is essential for urban planning, pedestrian safety, and environmental management. Yet, it remains challenging due to uncertain boundary conditions and the high cost of conventional CFD simulations.…
A fluid described by an Abelian Chern-Simons action principle in 4+1 dimensions is considered. Letting 3+1 dimensions correspond to the usual space and time, and assuming the fields to be independent of the fifth coordinate, the free theory…
The interfacial resistance to evaporation, in particular for the case of water, is a longstanding issue. The previous data on its main characterizing parameter, the accommodation coefficient, manifest a dispersion over three orders of…
In this study, we report intermittent bursting of cyclonic columnar structures in direct numerical simulations of forced rotating turbulence in a three-dimensional (3D) periodic box. Columnar structure formation is associated with dominant…
The numerical simulation of rarefied gas mixture dynamics with disparate masses using the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is slow, primarily because the time step is constrained by that of the lighter species, necessitating an…
The high Weissenberg number problem has been a persistent challenge in the numerical simulation of viscoelastic fluid flows. This paper presents an improved lattice Boltzmann method for solving viscoelastic flow problems at high Weissenberg…
Particle methods play an important role in computational fluid dynamics, but they are among the most difficult to implement and solve. The most common method is smoothed particle hydrodynamics, which is suitable for problem settings that…
A multispecies diffuse interface model is formulated in a fluctuating hydrodynamics framework for the purpose of simulating surfactant interfaces at the nanoscale. The model generalizes previous work to ternary mixtures, employing a…
Obtaining predictive low-order models is a central challenge in fluid dynamics. Data-driven frameworks have been widely used to obtain low-order models of aerodynamic systems; yet, resulting models tend to yield predictions that grow…
The influence of initial shape imperfections on the post-buckling and translational behavior of encapsulated microbubbles is investigated subject to acoustic excitation in an unbounded flow. Bifurcation analysis reveals that imperfections…
The fluid dynamics community has increasingly adopted machine learning to analyze, model, predict, and control a wide range of flows. These methods offer powerful computational capabilities for regression, compression, and optimization. In…
We use the local curvature derived from velocity vector fields or particle tracks as a surrogate for structure size to compute curvature-based energy spectra. An application to homogeneous isotropic turbulence shows that these spectra…
We reveal a nonlinear magnetic dynamo in a Taylor-Couette flow at small magnetic Prandtl numbers $Pm\leq 1$, which has been previously believed to exist only at higher $Pm\gtrsim 10$ in this flow. The amplitude of initial perturbations,…
Shear-thinning fluids flowing through pipes are crucial in many practical applications, yet many unresolved problems remain regarding their turbulent transition. Using highly robust numerical tools for the Carreau-Yasuda model, we…
Compound drop impacting on a solid surface is of considerable importance in industrial applications, such as combustion, food industry, and drug encapsulation. An intriguing phenomenon associated with this process is the occurrence of…
The rheological properties of synovial fluid have been observed to substantially impact its lubricating behaviour. While numerous studies have illustrated the importance of its shear-dependent viscosity, the impact of synovial fluid…
M2C (Multiphysics Modeling and Computation) is an open-source software for simulating multi-material fluid flows and fluid-structure interactions under extreme conditions, such as high pressures, high temperatures, shock waves, and large…
We study dynamical regimes of thermal convection with temperature-dependent viscosity driven by homogeneous internal heating. Two-dimensional steady-state convective solutions with the Frank-Kamenetskii viscosity are obtained by the Newton…
The crystallisation that occurs when a drop is placed in contact with a cold surface is a particularly challenging phenomenon to capture experimentally and describe theoretically. The situation of a liquid-liquid interface, where crystals…
Starting from the governing equations for geophysical flows, by means of a thin-shell approximation and a tangent plane approximation, we derive the equations describing, at leading order, the nonlinear ice-drift flow for regions centered…
