We consider a phase-separating mixture of active and passive fluids and explore morphological asymmetries of the emerging dominantly bicontinous dynamic emulsion. Two-dimensional numerical simulations reveal that the geometric and…
We report a numerical study addressing the dynamics of compound vesicles confined in a channel under shear flow. The system comprises a smaller vesicle embedded within a larger one and can be used to mimic, for example, leukocytes or…
The inner-outer interaction model (Marusic, Mathis & Hutchins, Science, vol. 329, 2010, 193-196) and the attached-eddy model (Townsend, Cambridge University Press, 1976) are two fundamental models describing the multi-scale turbulence…
The shock-boundary layer interaction over the convex wall of a supersonic turbine vane is studied with a focus on extreme separation bubble events and the interplay between the bubble, streaks, and streamwise vortices. The present analysis…
Although the roll/streak structure is ubiquitous in pre-transitional wall-bounded shear flow, this structure is linearly stable if the idealization of laminar flow is made. Lacking an instability, the large transient growth of the…
Suspensions of swimming bacteria interact hydrodynamically over long ranges, organizing themselves into collective states that drive large-scale chaotic flows, often referred to as "bacterial turbulence". Despite extensive experimental and…
Flows in fluid layers are ubiquitous in industry, geophysics and astrophysics. Large-scale flows in thin layers can be considered two-dimensional (2d) with bottom friction added. Here we find that the properties of such flows depend…
The separating and reattaching turbulent flow past a rectangular cylinder is studied to describe how small and large scales contribute to the sustaining mechanism of the velocity fluctuations. The work is based on the Anisotropic…
This paper reports turbulent boundary layer measurements made over open-cell reticulated foams with varying pore size and thickness, but constant porosity ($\epsilon \approx 0.97$). The foams were flush-mounted into a cutout on a flat…
Nominal two-dimensional (2D) shear layers have been studied extensively, and their principal dynamics are well understood. In practical configurations, however, the behavior of such shear layers is affected by proximal surfaces. In this…
We demonstrate slow dynamics and constrained motion of domain walls in one-dimensional (1D) interacting bosons with double-well dispersion. In the symmetry-broken regime, the domain-wall motion is ``fractonlike'' -- a single domain wall…
In Rayleigh-Benard convection and Taylor-Couette flow cellular patterns emerge at the onset of instability and persist as large-scale coherent structures in the turbulent regime. Their long-term dynamics has been thoroughly characterised…
Using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) in a new experimental plane Couette flow, we investigate the dynamics of turbulent patches invading formerly laminar flows. We evidence experimentally for the first time in this geometry the existence…
This paper presents the linear global stability analysis of the incompressible axisymmetric boundary layer on a circular cylinder. The base flow is parallel to the axis of the cylinder at inlet. The pressure gradient is zero in the…
Two-way coupled direct numerical simulations are used to investigate the effects of inertial particles on self-sustained, turbulent coherent structures (i.e. the so-called the regeneration cycle) in plane Couette flow at low Reynolds number…
We present here both analytical and numerical results of hydrodynamic stability investigations of rotationally supported circumstellar flows using the shearing box formalism. Asymptotic scaling arguments justifying the shearing box…
We investigate the broadband turbulent dynamics of attached and separated flows over a Gaussian bump, focusing on the origin of low-frequency coherent structures. The analysis combines time-resolved experimental measurements with…
We study two-dimensional turbulence in a square no-slip domain without bottom drag using direct numerical simulations. The dynamics are shown to depend strongly on the torque $M$ of the external forcing. When $M$ is relatively large, a…
Boundary layers in turbulent flows require fine grid spacings near the walls which depend on the choice of turbulence model. To satisfy these requirements a semi-structured mesh is generally used in this area with orthogonal and layered…
Active flows are central to mixing and transport across living systems. While Newtonian fluids remain laminar, diffusive and predictable at the microscale, living fluids like dense bacterial suspensions can exhibit highly chaotic flows like…
