Here we show that passive scalars possess a hidden scaling symmetry when considering suitably rescaled fields. Such a symmetry implies (i) universal probability distribution for scalar multipliers and (ii) Perron-Frobenius scenario for the…
Recent experiments have revealed that the meniscus formed near a surface-piercing barrier can significantly alter the propagation and scattering of capillary-gravity surface waves, beyond what classic flat-surface models predict. In…
Wall-cooling effect in hypersonic boundary layers can significantly alter the near-wall turbulence behavior, which is not accurately modeled by traditional RANS turbulence models. To address this shortcoming, this paper presents a…
In this article, we attempt to make a conceptual bridge between the research in biology, pre-biotic chemistry, biomimetics, and the tools used in organic bioelectronics in terms of materials and devices. The goal is discussing how materials…
This works focuses on participation number -- a parameter that allows to quantitatively asses the level of kinetic energy localization. The author presents a clear way of deriving participation number in a continuous case without making any…
Cavitation has historically been related to parameters measured at equilibrium, such as vapor pressure and surface tension. However, nucleation might occur when the liquid is metastable, especially for fast phenomena such as cavitation…
High-resolution, near-ground wind-speed data are critical for improving the accuracy of weather predictions and climate models,$^{1-3}$ supporting wildfire control efforts,$^{4-7}$ and ensuring the safe passage of airplanes during takeoff…
We investigate the dynamics and the stability of the incompressible flow past a corrugated dragonfly-inspired airfoil in the two-dimensional (2D) $\alpha-Re$ parameter space, where $\alpha$ is the angle of attack and $Re$ is the Reynolds…
We study vorticity production in isothermal, subsonic, acoustic (nonvortical), and decaying turbulence due to the presence of magnetic fields. Using three-dimensional numerical simulations, we find that the resulting kinetic energy cascade…
Recent studies based on simulations of the Boussinesq equations indicate that stratified turbulent flows can develop large-scale intermittency in the velocity and temperature fields, as detected in the atmosphere and oceans. In particular,…
We analyze the steady viscoelastic fluid flow in slowly varying contracting channels of arbitrary shape and present a theory based on the lubrication approximation for calculating the flow rate-pressure drop relation at low and high Deborah…
We present numerical analysis of the lateral movement of spherical capsule in the steady and pulsatile channel flow of a Newtonian fluid, for a wide range of oscillatory frequency. Each capsule membrane satisfying strain-hardening…
We investigate the emergent three-dimensional (3D) dynamics of a rapidly yawing spheroidal swimmer interacting with a viscous shear flow. We show that the rapid yawing generates non-axisymmetric emergent effects, with the active swimmer…
In soft porous media, deformation drives solute transport via the intrinsic coupling between flow of the fluid and rearrangement of the pore structure. Solute transport driven by periodic loading, in particular, can be of great relevance in…
Generalised two-dimensional (2D) fluid dynamics is characterised by a relationship between a scalar field $q$, called generalised vorticity, and the stream function $\psi$, namely $q = (-\nabla^2)^\frac{\alpha}{2} \psi$. We study the…
This paper launches a thorough discussion on the locality of local neural operator (LNO), which is the core that enables LNO great flexibility on varied computational domains in solving transient partial differential equations (PDEs). We…
The pair of fluids, FC72- 1cSt silicone oil, exhibiting temperature-sensitive miscibility gap is considered in this study to investigate the classical Rayleigh-B\'enard-Marangoni (RBM) instability. The system of fluids is considered at…
This paper builds up a virtual domain extension (VDE) framework for imposing boundary conditions (BCs) in flow simulation using pre-trained local neural operator (LNO). It creates extended virtual domains to the input function to compensate…
We derive general analytical expressions for the pressure gradient of a viscoelastic Oldroyd-B fluid in a symmetric channel with slowly varying geometry. Using classic lubrication theory and assuming isothermal, incompressible, and steady…
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have gained widespread popularity for solving inverse and forward problems across a range of scientific and engineering domains. However, most existing PINN frameworks are limited to the Eulerian…
