Fluid Dynamics
Inertial particles in turbulence form clusters, which strongly affect particle collisions and transport properties. Clustering models based on statistically stationary turbulence implicitly assume the instantaneous-equilibrium approximation…
To address the dual challenges of performance portability across heterogeneous hardware and the high usability barriers of conventional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, this paper introduces FEALPy.CFD, a high performance,…
The goal of this work is apply field theory methods to discuss turbulence in relativistic real fluids. We shalltake as representtive model an Israel-Stewart framework, where the conservation laws for the energy-momentum tensor are…
The coupling of surfactant-laden droplet dynamics and electric fields plays an important role in liquid-handling technologies such as digital microfluidics. We develop an energetic variational framework for the coupled dynamics of two-phase…
Explicitly resolving tree geometry in urban micrometeorological simulations is computationally prohibitive, so trees are commonly represented as porous media. Conventional models prescribe a constant drag coefficient, even with…
Active flows are central to mixing and transport across living systems. While Newtonian fluids remain laminar, diffusive and predictable at the microscale, living fluids like dense bacterial suspensions can exhibit highly chaotic flows like…
A unidirectional reduction of the deep-water surface gravity wave problem is derived in physical space using real variables. By employing a near-identity canonical transformation, cubic interactions are eliminated from the Hamiltonian, with…
We investigate the transport of elastic active filaments in two-dimensional turbulence, focusing on how propulsion geometry and elasticity determine vortex trapping and transport. Using a bead-spring model with activity applied at the…
Theoretical models of evaporating droplets predict Marangoni flows orders of magnitude faster than those observed experimentally. While this discrepancy is often attributed to surface contamination, the underlying mechanism by which…
Gas turbine combustors increasingly operate close to lean blow-out (LBO) limits, where small changes in fuel-air mixing or flow structure can destabilize the flame and alter near-blow-out dynamics. Conventional design practice relies mainly…
Reliable long-horizon prediction remains a challenge for data-driven CFD surrogates, because offline-trained models accumulate autoregressive errors and lose accuracy when operating conditions change. This work develops a divergence-aware…
Here we present the first fully two-dimensional time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry survey of a vacuum electrospray plume, generated by a tungsten needle externally-wetted with the ionic liquid 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium…
We present three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RBC) in the Lagrangian frame of reference for Rayleigh numbers $10^5 \leq Ra \leq 10^{10}$ and a Prandtl number $Pr=0.7$ in a plane layer…
Reconstructing scalar fields from error-embedded gradient measurements is a fundamental linear inverse problem with broad applications in computational physics. Conventional approaches, such as Poisson-based solvers and the Green's Function…
This work evaluates the magnitude of the turbulent energy cascade in terms of forward and backward scattering by modeling the "stretch and fold" mechanism through a drift-free Hanggi-Klimontovich stochastic process. Mapping this dynamics…
We analyse bead--spring polymers coupled to Navier--Stokes turbulence in ultra--dilute solutions at Weissenberg number \(Wi\approx 80\). The polymers do not alter the large-scale turbulent structure, but hydrodynamic interactions generate…
We propose a hierarchical asynchronous iterative method that differs from the traditional synchronous iterative method used across the entire flow field in conventional Computational Fluid Dynamics applications. This method forcibly divides…
We investigate the phenomenon of turbulent thermal diffusion of inertial solid particles in laboratory experiments with convective turbulence forced by one or two oscillating grids in the air. Turbulent thermal diffusion causes a…
We present a theoretical framework that models the laminar-turbulent transition as a topological change in the dissipative operator. The order s of the fractional Laplacian is promoted from a fixed parameter to a dynamic field, governed by…
Developing Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence models that remain accurate across diverse flow regimes is a long-standing challenge. In this work, we propose a novel framework, termed the progressive mixture-of-experts (PMoE),…
