In this work, a concise and robust computational framework is proposed to simulate compressible multi-phase multi-component flows. To handle both shocks and material interfaces, a positivity-preserving ENO-type scheme is coupled with…
This paper presents an improved approach for preserving sharp interfaces in multiphase Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) simulations using Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). Interface diffusion is a common challenge in multiphase LBM,…
The compressible reacting flow numerical solver is an essential tool in the study of combustion, energy disciplines, as well as in the design of industrial power and propulsion devices. We have established the first JAX-based…
In this paper we continue our previous investigation about energy minimization in the flow of fluids through tubes and networks of interconnected tubes of various geometries. We will show that the principle of energy minimization holds…
This study employs high-fidelity fluid-structure interaction simulations to investigate design optimizations for wave-assisted propulsion (WAP) systems using flapping foils. Building on prior work that identified the leading-edge vortex…
Experimental and numerical studies of incompressible turbulence suggest that the mean dissipation rate of kinetic energy remains constant as the Reynolds number tends to infinity (or the non-dimensional viscosity tends to zero). This…
Stylized turbulent swirls depicted in artworks are often analyzed with the modern tools for real turbulent flows such as the power spectrum and the structure function. Motivated by the recent study on \textit{The Starry Night} of van Gogh…
Since the geometry structure of ultra-high-pressure (UHP) water-jet nozzle is a critical factor to enhance its hydrodynamic performance, it is critical to obtain a suitable geometry for a UHP water jet nozzle. In this study, a CFD-based…
Convection in planets and stars is predicted to occur in the "ultimate regime'' of diffusivity-free, rapidly rotating turbulence, in which flows are characteristically unaffected by viscous and thermal diffusion. Boundary layer diffusion,…
When a chordwise Reynolds number (Re) falls below about $10^5$ the performance of wings and aerodynamic sections become sensitive to viscous phenomena, including boundary layer separation and possible reattachment. Here, detailed…
Shallow water waves are a striking example of nonlinear hydrodynamics, giving rise to phenomena such as tsunamis and undular waves. These dynamics are typically studied in hundreds-of-meter-long wave flumes. Here, we demonstrate a…
The present work extends the direct-forcing immersed boundary method introduced by Garc\'ia-Villalba et al. (2023), broadening its application from spherical to arbitrarily-shaped particles, while maintaining its capacity to address both…
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming more commonly used in populated areas, raising concerns about noise pollution generated from their propellers. This study investigates the acoustic performance of unconventional propeller…
This study investigates the aerodynamic performance of the symmetric NACA 0018 airfoil under harmonic pitching motions at low Reynolds numbers, a regime characterized by the presence of laminar separation bubbles and their impact on…
Water scarcity has required constant water recycling, leading to a decline in water quality, further exacerbated by high concentrations of fine particles that reduce the efficiency of solid-liquid separation systems. Inclined settlers offer…
Machine Learning (ML) has the potential to revolutionise the field of automotive aerodynamics, enabling split-second flow predictions early in the design process. However, the lack of open-source training data for realistic road cars, using…
Lattice-Boltzmann methods are established mesoscopic numerical schemes for fluid flow, that recover the evolution of macroscopic quantities (viz., velocity and pressure fields) evolving under macroscopic target equations. The approximated…
This extensive investigation explores the influence of inclined magnetic fields and radiative non-linear heat flux on the behavior of dusty hybrid nanofluids over stretching/shrinking wedges. Employing $Cu$-$SiO_2$ as a hybrid nanoparticle…
Among cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis is a primary cause of stenosis, involving the accumulation of plaques in the inner lining of an artery. Inspired by drug delivery applications, the proposed study aims to examine the numerical…
This work proposes a method to identify and isolate the physical mechanisms that are responsible for linear energy amplification in fluid flows. This is achieved by applying a sparsity-promoting methodology to the resolvent form of the…
