Swimming of a sphere in a viscous incompressible fluid is studied on the basis of the Navier-Stokes equations for wave-type distortions of the spherical shape. At sizable values of the dimensionless scale number the mean swimming velocity…
We apply a formalism of nonextensive statistical mechanics to experimental wall turbulence data, for the first time to our knowledge. Wind tunnel data for velocity differences a streamwise distance $r$ apart are compared to the prediction…
The celebrated Stokes Law (SL) of hydrodynamics predicts that the velocity of a particle pulled through a liquid by an external force, Fex, is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the friction {\zeta} acted by…
A commonplace view of pressure-driven turbulence in pipes and channels is as "cascades" of streamwise momentum toward the viscous layer at the wall. We present in this paper an alternative picture of these flows as "inverse cascades" of…
Solutions of long, flexible polymer molecules are complex fluids that simultaneously exhibit fluid-like and solid-like behaviour. When subjected to external flows, dilute polymer solutions develop elastic turbulence - a unique chaotic flow…
In this paper, we present experimental results and reveal that strong perturbations are not necessary for elastic instability to occur in straight-channel, inertialess, visco-elastic flows at high elasticity. We show that a non-normal mode…
Given an obstacle in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and a non-zero velocity with small amplitude at the infinity, we construct the unique steady Boltzmann solution flowing around such an obstacle with the prescribed velocity as $|x|\to \infty$, which…
We study the flow of a generalized Newtonian fluid, characterized by a power-law model, through a channel consisting of a wall with a flexible membrane under longitudinal tension. It is assumed that at steady state the flow through the…
The internal interactions of fluids occur at all scales therefore the resulting force fields have no reason to be smooth and differentiable. The release of the differentiability hypothesis has important mathematical consequences, like scale…
It is well known that in a neutrally-stratified turbulent flow in a deep constant-stress layer above a flat surface, the variation of the mean velocity with respect to the distance from the surface obeys the logarithmic law (the so-called…

The central problem in the physics of immiscible two-phase flow in porous media is to find a proper description of the flow at scales large enough so that the medium may be regarded as a continuum: the scale-up problem. So far, the only…

We perform direct numerical simulations of the flow through a model of a deformable porous medium. Our model is a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice, with defects, of soft elastic cylindrical pillars, with elastic shear modulus $G$, immersed…
In cylindrical domain, we consider the nonstationary flow with prescribed inflow and outflow, modelled with Navier-Stokes equations under the slip boundary conditions. Using smallness of some derivatives of inflow function, external force…
Molecular dynamic (MD) simulation is used to study slip at the fluid-solid boundary in an unsteady flow based on the Stokes second problem. An increase in slip is observed in comparison to the steady flow for shear rates below the critical…
Manipulation of small-scale particles across streamlines is the elementary task of microfluidic devices. Many such devices operate at very low Reynolds numbers and deflect particles using arrays of obstacles, but a systematic quantification…
