The central problem in the physics of immiscible two-phase flow in porous media is to find a proper description of the flow at scales large enough so that the medium may be regarded as a continuum: the scale-up problem. So far, the only…
Microchannel heat sinks (MCHS) are widely used for thermal management in high-power electronics due to their ability to dissipate large heat fluxes with minimal coolant consumption. While numerous strategies - such as geometric…
When solids melt while sliding down heated inclines, their motion is governed by a complex coupling between heat transfer, phase change, gravity and viscous dissipation. Despite relevance across a variety of domains, like kitchen physics,…
(short version abstract, full in article)High-fidelity flow field reconstruction is important in fluid dynamics, but it is challenged by sparse and spatiotemporally incomplete sensor measurements, as well as failures of pre-deployed…
Droplet impact on rough surfaces is of critical importance to various applications, yet remains incompletely understood. The present work aims to uncover droplet impact dynamics on random hydrophobic surfaces using volume of fluid…
Droplet impact in airflow environments is ubiquitous in nature and industry, making the understanding of this multiphase behavior crucial for technologies such as anti-icing and spray cooling. In this study, the dynamics of droplet impact…
This work extends a pressure-gradient sensor for boundary-layer separation originally developed for the $k-\omega$ shear-stress transport Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model (Griffin et al., 2025, J. Turb.) to the Improved Delayed…
This study investigates the steady-state kinematics of single-winged spinning samaras and re-evaluates the simplifying assumptions commonly used in existing theoretical models. High-speed imaging was employed to quantify key parameters,…
In this paper, we establish a two-way equivalence between the incompressible Navier- Stokes equation (INSE) and the principle of minimum pressure gradient (PMPG). We prove that a candidate smooth flow field is a solution of the INSE if and…
The dynamics of self-similar Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) mixing layers are investigated across a broad range of Atwood and Reynolds numbers using the statistically stationary Rayleigh-Taylor (SRT) flow configuration - a computational framework…
This paper proposes a method for reconstructing three-dimensional turbulent flows from sparse measurements without the need for ground truth data during training. A weight-sharing network is developed to infer the full flow fields from…
We develop, simulate and extend an initial proposition by Chaves et al. concerning a random incompressible vector field able to reproduce key ingredients of three-dimensional turbulence in both space and time. In this article, we focus on…
In Navier--Stokes (NS) turbulence, large-scale turbulent flows inevitably determine small-scale flows. Previous studies using data assimilation with the three-dimensional NS equations indicate that employing observational data resolved down…
In this paper we investigate analytically the formation of finite time singularities in the three dimensional incompressible Euler equations under the model of Gibbon, Fokas, and Doering for vorticity stretching within a bounded cylindrical…
The concept of inverse energy cascades has played a central role in the development of turbulence theory, with applications in two-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional flows. We examine the presence or absence of inverse energy cascades in…
This study proposes a novel spatial discretization procedure for the compressible Euler equations that guarantees entropy conservation at a discrete level for thermally perfect gases. The procedure is based on a locally conservative…
We investigate interfacial fluid dynamics and heat transfer at nanoscales using an improved diffuse interface approach for liquid-vapor interfaces in non-equilibrium. Conventional Navier-Stokes-Korteweg (NSK) formulations often fail to…
Recently, we notice that a pressure-based lattice Boltzmann (LB) method was established to recover the volume-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (VANSE), which serve as the cornerstone of various fluid-solid multiphase models. It decouples…
We present a dark fluid model described as a non-viscous, non-relativistic, rotating, and self-gravitating fluid. We assumed that the system has spherical symmetry and the matter can be described with the polytropic equation of state. The…
Microfluidic devices offer unique opportunities to directly observe multiphase flow in porous media. However, as a direct representation of flow in geological pore networks, conventional microfluidics face several challenges. One is that…
