Fluid Dynamics
In magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows, incompressibility is assumed for low Mach numbers. However, even at low Mach numbers, the Mach number influences flow and magnetic fields. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method that can stably…
Axisymmetric waves occur across a wide range of scales. This study analyses large-scale gravity-dominated axisymmetric waves, with jet heights of up to 6 m, for which surface-tension effects are negligible. The Bond number is O(10^5) and…
The interaction between shear and double-diffusive convection (DDC) in the diffusive regime (cold fresh water on top of hot salty water) plays an important role in the heat and mass transport of polar region oceans. This study computes…
Research on the statistics of extreme events using deterministic wave group methods has largely been simplified to vessels at zero or constant speed and heading. In contrast, free-running vessels move with six degrees-of-freedom (6-DoF),…
Understanding and accurately reproducing gust-induced unsteady aerodynamics is essential for improving load prediction, aeroelastic analysis, and control strategies in aircraft, uninhabited aerial vehicles, and wind turbines, particularly…
Through a massive computation we reached the fourth superharmonic instability branch of the Stokes' wave. Using the obtained results we checked phenomenological formulae for the dependence of the instability growth rates corresponding to…
Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have attracted attention as an alternative approach to solve partial differential equations using a deep neural network (DNN). Their simplicity and capability allow them to solve inverse problems for…
We present and explore a new shock-capturing particle hydrodynamics approach. Our starting point is a commonly used discretization of smoothed particle hydrodynamics. We enhance this discretization with Roe's approximate Riemann solver, we…
We consider the relationship between Eulerian modal decompositions and Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs). The model sensitivity framework developed by Kasz\'as and Haller (2020) is used to express data-driven modal representations of…
We quantify how incident acoustic energy is converted into vortical motion and viscous dissipation for a two-dimensional plane-wave passing through a slit geometry. We perform direct numerical simulations over a broad parameter space in…
We explore the necking, filament thinning, and pinchoff dynamics of ferrofluid droplets within a magnetic field, via a simple and low-cost experimental method. In our studies, both the Ohnesorge number Oh and the Deborah number De are O1, a…
Understanding intraventricular hemodynamics requires compact and physically interpretable representations of the underlying flow structures, as characteristic flow patterns are closely associated with cardiovascular conditions and can…
We propose the use of an unifying paradigm for the assessment and development of closed forms of the coarse-grained Navier-Stokes equations in approaches ranging from the statistical to the scale-resolving ones. It consists in the exact…
We report the mechanism for the formation of external particle jets on a spherical particle bed subjected to strong explosive loading, revealing a critical dependence on particle size. Under strong explosive loading, the formation of…
Stalagmites in karstic caves preserve valuable palaeoclimate records through calcium-rich layered deposits, presenting curvature variations both across and within individual stalagmites. Stalagmites always remain covered by a thin water…
Winds in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) display a wide range of velocity profiles and turbulence properties that affect wind turbine wake dynamics. However, standard concurrent-precursor large eddy simulations (LES) often neglect…
The Boussinesq approximation is a cornerstone of geophysical fluid dynamics, yet its thermodynamic and energetic underpinnings have remained ambiguous. In standard formulations, the links with the fully compressible Navier--Stokes equations…
Coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering (CRBS) holds great promise for the characterization of gas properties and the investigation of gas kinetic processes. The CRBS spectrum exhibits a strong dependence on the Knudsen number (Kn),…
Particle-laden effects in high-speed flows require a coupled Euler and Lagrangian prediction technique with varying fidelity of thermochemical models, depending on the simulation conditions of interest. This requirement makes the…
The stability of a flow of an electrically conducting, incompressible fluid in a channel with an imposed uniform wall-normal magnetic field and electrically insulating walls is studied using linear stability analysis and direct numerical…
