We investigated the nonlinear effects of gravity-driven fluid flow through a two-dimensional, low-porosity, packed bed of stubby stone grains. We focused on preferential channel formation, tortuosity, spatial distribution of kinetic energy,…
Coherent structures/motions in turbulence inherently give rise to intermittent signals with sharp peaks, heavy-skirt, and skewed distributions of velocity increments, highlighting the non-Gaussian nature of turbulence. That suggests that…

Consider the flow of a thin layer of non-Newtonian fluid over a solid surface. I model the case of a viscosity that depends nonlinearly on the shear-rate; power law fluids are an important example, but the analysis here is for general…
