Impacts of drops on liquids are ubiquitous in nature and in a range of applications in healthcare, agriculture and industry. They can lead to splash and generation of secondary droplets important for a range of coating, dispersal or…
Studies of liquid jet impacts onto a deep liquid pool are of great significance for a multitude of engineering and environmental applications. During jet impact, the free surface of the pool deforms and a cavity is generated.…

In this paper, we present a theoretical, experimental, and numerical study of the dynamics of cavitation bubbles inside a droplet suspended in another host fluid. On the theoretical side, we provided a modified Rayleigh collapse time and…
The impact of droplets on liquid pools is ubiquitous in nature and many industrial applications. Most previous studies of droplet impact focus on Newtonian fluids, while less attention has been paid to the impact dynamics of non-Newtonian…
The radially outward flow of fluid through a porous medium occurs in many practical problems, from transport across vascular walls to the pressurisation of boreholes in the subsurface. When the driving pressure is non-negligible relative to…

We employ three-dimensional numerical simulations to explore the impact dynamics of non-spherical drops in a deep liquid pool by varying the aspect ratios $(A_r)$ and Weber numbers $(\We)$. We observe that when a non-spherical drop is…
Spherical Couette flow (flow between concentric rotating spheres) is one of flows under consideration for the laboratory magnetic dynamos. Recent experiments have shown that such flows may excite Coriolis restored inertial modes. The…
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…
In this study, a partially submerged vertical cylinder is moved at constant velocity through water, which is initially at rest. During the motion, the wake behind the cylinder induces free-surface deformation. Eleven cylinders, with…
Cosmological first-order phase transition (FOPT) sources the stochastic gravitational wave background (SWGB) through bubble collisions, sound waves, and turbulence. So far, most studies on the fluid profile of an expanding bubble are…
The water entry of solid and liquid bodies has been studied for over a century, and various researchers have classified the different behaviors that occur when the gas-filled cavity collapses. Although four main cavity collapse regimes have…
Detailed data describing the motion of a rigid sphere settling in unperturbed fluid is generated by means of highly-accurate spectral/spectral-element simulations with the purpose of serving as a future benchmark case. A single…

When two spherical particles submerged in a viscous fluid are subjected to an oscillatory flow, they align themselves perpendicular to the direction of the flow leaving a small gap between them. The formation of this compact structure is…
The hydrodynamic flow field generated by self-propelled active particles and swimming microorganisms is strongly altered by the presence of nearby boundaries in a viscous flow. Using a simple model three-linked sphere swimmer, we show that…
The water bottle flip experiment is a recreational, non-conventional illustration of the conservation of angular moment. When a bottle partially filled with water is thrown in a rotational motion, water redistributes throughout the bottle,…
