Dense particle suspensions are widely encountered in many applications and in environmental flows. While many previous studies investigate their rheological properties in laminar flows, little is known on the behaviour of these suspensions…
Using a vortex sheet method we prove global existence of a near circular initial bubble in a Hele-Shaw cell with surface tension and generally finite nonzero viscosity ratio between fluids inside and outside the bubble. The circular shape…
Cross-stream migration of a deformable bubble is investigated computationally in a pressure-driven channel flow of a viscoelastic fluid via interface-resolved simulations. The flow equations are solved fully coupled with the Giesekus model…
Recently, the existence of so-called granular bubbles and droplets has been demonstrated experimentally. Granular bubbles and droplets are clusters of particles that respectively rise and sink if submerged in an aerated and vibrated bed of…

Periodic fluidization of solids in a gas medium can generate structured bubbling patterns. This phenomenon has been successfully reproduced in fluidized bed systems called pulsed-fluidized beds, known for their efficient mixing and…

We study the escape rate of a particle in a metastable potential in presence of a dissipative bath coupled to the momentum of the particle. Using the semiclassical bounce technique, we find that this rate is exponentially enhanced. In…
The rate of dynamical growth of the hadron bubbles in a supercooled baryon free quark-gluon plasma, is evaluated by solving the equations of relativistic fluid dynamics in all regions. For a non-viscous plasma, this dynamical growth rate is…
Phase separation, the spontaneous segregation of density, is a ubiquitous phenomenon observed across diverse physical and biological systems. Within a crowd of motile elements, active phase separation emerges from the interplay of activity…
Material mixing induced by a Rayleigh-Taylor instability occurs ubiquitously in either nature or engineering when a light fluid pushes against a heavy fluid, accompanying with the formation and evolution of chaotic bubbles. Its general…
We experimentally study the detachment of drops of granular suspensions using a density matched model suspension with varying volume fraction ({\phi} = 15% to 55%) and grain diameter (d = 20 {\mu}m to 140 {\mu}m). We show that at the…
Numerical simulations of positively-buoyant suspension in a horizontally rotating cylinder were performed to study the formation of radial and axial patterns. The order parameter for low-frequency segregated phase and dispersed phase is…
We investigate experimentally granular piles exhibiting steady surface flow. Below the surface flow, it has been believed exisitence of a `frozen' bulk region, but our results show absence of such a frozen bulk. We report here that even the…
We present an experimental study of the movement of individual particles in a layer of vertically shaken granular material. High-speed imaging allows us to investigate the motion of beads within one vibration period. This motion consists…
Fermi-LAT reveals two huge gamma-ray bubbles existing in the Galactic Center, called 'Fermi Bubbles'. The existence of two microwave bubbles at the same region are also reported by the observation by WMAP, dubbed 'WMAP haze'. In order to…
We experimentally investigate the bursting dynamics of confined liquid film suspended in air and find a viscous dynamics distinctly different from the non-confined counterpart, due to lack of circular symmetry in the shape of expanding…
