Cross-flow turbines convert kinetic power in wind or water currents to mechanical power. Unlike axial-flow turbines, the influence of geometric parameters on turbine performance is not well-understood, in part because there are neither…

Relatively strongly stratified turbulent flows tend to self-organise into a 'layered anisotropic stratified turbulence' (LAST) regime, characterised by relatively deep and well-mixed density 'layers' separated by relatively thin…
A fluid droplet in general deforms, if subject to active driving, such as a finite slip velocity or active tractions on its interface. We show that these deformations and their dynamics can be computed analytically in a perturbation theory…
