In this paper, we experimentally investigate the exit dynamics of a square cylinder, that is initially fully immersed in a water tank and that crosses the interface perpendicularly to its symmetry axis. The cylinder moves upwards at a…
Fluidic transport in inverted T-shaped cavities with the flow entering through the top and exiting from the two bottom outlets experiences an interesting phenomenon that causes particles having density lower than that of the fluid medium to…
Superfluid vortex dynamics on an infinite cylinder differs significantly from that on a plane. The requirement that a condensate wave function be single valued upon once encircling the cylinder means that such a single vortex cannot remain…
We investigate the vortical dynamics generated during the forced exit of a circular cylinder through a quiescent free surface. While previous work on exit flows has largely emphasized cavity collapse and force generation, the formation and…

Polymer melts represent the flow-history-dependent behavior. To clearly show this behavior, we have investigated flow behavior of an entangled polymer melt around two cylinders placed in tandem along the flow direction in a two dimensional…
We study flow around a cylinder from a dynamics perspective, using drag and lift as indicators. We observe that the mean drag coefficient bifurcates from the steady case when the Karman vortex street emerges. We also find a jump in the…
