In this paper we propose a new method to stabilise non-symmetric indefinite problems. The idea is to solve a forward and an adjoint problem simultaneously using a suitable stabilised finite element method. Both stabilisation of the element…
Flow instability and turbulent transition can be well explained using a new proposed theory--Energy gradient theory [1]. In this theory, the stability of a flow depends on the relative magnitude of energy gradient in streamwise direction…
We investigate the relationship between rigid motions and relative equilibria in the N-body problem on the two-dimensional sphere, S2. We prove that any rigid motion of the N-body system on S2 must be a relative equilibrium. Our approach…
We study a 3D fluid-rigid body interaction problem. The fluid flow is governed by 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, while the motion of the rigid body is described by a system of ordinary differential equations describing…
In this paper we utilize symmetries in order to exhibit exact solutions to Einstein's equation of a perfect fluid on a static manifold all of whose spatial factor belongs to the conformal class of a Riemannian space of constant curvature.
Using limited observations of the velocity field of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, we successfully reconstruct the steady body force that drives the flow. The number of observed data points is less than 10\% of the number of…
