Transitional pipe flow is modeled as a one-dimensional excitable and bistable medium. Models are presented in two variables, turbulence intensity and mean shear, that evolve according to established properties of transitional turbulence. A…
Partially invariant solution to (2+1)D shallow water equation is constructed and investigated. The solution describes an extension of a stripe, bounded by linear source and drain of fluid. Realizations of smooth flow and of hydraulic jump…
Unidirectional flow is the simplest phenomenon of fluid mechanics. Its mathematical description, the Dirichlet problem for Poisson's equation in two dimensions with constant forcing, arises in many physical contexts, such as the torsion of…
A fluidic one-bit half-adder is made of five channels which intersect at a junction. Two channels are inputs, two channels are outputs and one channel is the drain. The channels direct fluid from input fragments to output fragments and the…
We propose a 1D unsteady model for supersonic single-phase ejectors. The model treats an ejector as a pipe network with two inputs and one output and combines a 1D gas dynamics formulation in each `pipe' with a junction model for…
In porous media, there are three known regimes of fluid flows, namely, pre-Darcy, Darcy and post-Darcy. Because of their different natures, these are usually treated separately in literature. To study complex flows when all three regimes…

We study the subsonic flows governed by full Euler equations in the half plane bounded below by a piecewise smooth curve asymptotically approaching x1-axis. Nonconstant conditions in the far field are prescribed to ensure the real Euler…
The friction f is the property of wall-bounded flows that sets the pumping cost of a pipeline, the draining capacity of a river, and other variables of practical relevance. For highly turbulent rough-walled pipe flows, f depends solely on…
The paper deals with three evolution problems arising in the physical modelling of acoustic phenomena of small amplitude in a fluid, bounded by a surface of extended reaction. The first one is the widely studied wave equation with acoustic…
Analytical/quasi-analytical solutions are proposed for a steady, compressible, two-phase flow in mechanical equilibrium in a rectilinear duct subjected to heating followed by cooling. The flow is driven by the pressure ratio between a…
A recent prominent result asserts that steady incompressible Euler flows strictly away from stagnation in a two-dimensional infinitely long strip must be shear flows. On the other hand, flows with stagnation points, very challenging in…

3D-printed microfluidic devices offer new ways to study fluid dynamics. We present the first clear visualization of vortex breakdown in a dividing T-junction flow. By individual control of the inflow and two outflows, we decouple the…
We established the existence, uniqueness and stability of subsonic flows past an airfoil with a vortex line at the trailing edge. Such a flow pattern is governed by the two dimensional steady compressible Euler equations. The vortex line…
