Many experimental studies have reported variations in interfacial tension. Isolating all the geometric and fluid material parameters and varying the interfacial tension can be useful to check their influence. Numerical investigations using…
This paper develops a reduced-order framework for modelling the two-way coupling between gravity waves and turbulent wakes in large-scale wind farms. Linearising the non-hydrostatic Boussinesq equations and introducing simplifications…
The simplified lattice Boltzmann method (SLBM) is a recent development in the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) community, addressing the intrinsic limitations of the traditional LBM by directly evolving macroscopic quantities and maintaining…
We study the impact of the coupling topology on the ability of various networked dynamical systems to generate extreme events. By determining the coupling strength that is necessary to generate an extreme event in the collective dynamics of…
This work presents the mathematical modeling and numerical investigation of a thermo-controlled Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) obtained by coupling an HP memristor with mechanical and electrical resonators. Using the linear drift HP…
We consider conformation dynamics of a chain-like three-body bead-spring model, in which three point masses are connected in series by two springs and the conformation is defined by the bending angle between the two springs. Previous…
Transport at small scales is classically understood within an equilibrium framework, where dispersion theory successfully describes shear-enhanced diffusion for passive particles in the continuum limit. However, as most bacteria can move on…
This paper is associated with a poster winner of a 2025 American Physical Society's Division of Fluid Dynamics (DFD) Gallery of Fluid Motion Award for work presented at the DFD Gallery of Fluid Motion. The original poster is available…
Closure-level accuracy in neural kinetic shock solvers is not guaranteed by accurate density, velocity and temperature profiles, because the relevant observables are velocity-weighted projections of the nonequilibrium distribution. We study…
We consider systems characterized by the presence of a rapidly oscillating force. A general method is presented for the construction of the effective action governing the large-scale nonlinear dynamics of such systems order by order in…
Wave steepness is a key geometric variable for describing breaking occurrence and its consequences, including energy dissipation and air entrainment. Using three laboratory campaigns under varying spectral conditions and co-flowing wind…
The Lorenz equations [1] are a severe Galerkin-truncation of the Oberbeck-Boussinesq (OB) equations describing Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RBC). Here we examine the mathematical connections between the chaotic lobe-switching behavior of a…
Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) provide a mesh-free framework for solving partial differential equations by embedding governing physics into neural-network training. Recent studies have shown that parameterized PINNs can learn…
Here we demonstrate that the time-evolving interface observed during droplet formation, and consequently the resulting morphology nearing pinch-off, encode sufficient physical information for machine-learning (ML) frameworks to accurately…
We report the discovery of super resonance--a new regime of resonant behavior in which a mode's out-of-phase response persists far beyond its classical bandwidth. This effect emerges from a coiled phononic structure composed of a locally…
Wave interference has historically relied on scattering objects placed within the wave domain. Here, we introduce a fundamentally new mechanism: scatterless interference induced by a lattice of subsurface phonon motion beneath a smooth wall…
With the recent proliferation of heterogeneous, GPU-accelerated supercomputers, high-order computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of complex, turbulent flows are more accessible than ever. To leverage the computing power of these…
Internal waves with frequency larger than twice the local minimum allowable wave frequency can be susceptible to parametric subharmonic instability (PSI). This instability draws energy from the wave and provides a mechanism for generating…
Laminar--turbulent transition remains a major uncertainty in the aerothermal design of entry, descent, and landing (EDL) vehicles. We show that, under high-enthalpy Mars-entry conditions, the detached bow shock and shock-generated…
Peristaltic pumping is hypothesized to drive fluid transport in several physiological systems, including cerebrospinal fluid flow through cerebral perivascular spaces (PVSs). Cerebral PVSs are unique in the context of peristaltic pumping…
