We present an experimental study of a confined nanoflow, which is generated by a sphere oscillating in the proximity of a flat solid wall in a simple fluid. Varying the oscillation frequency, the confining length scale and the fluid mean…
Whisking is a rhythmic and adaptive behavior that rodents use to probe and interact with their environment, and the frequency of movement reflects both sensorimotor processing and internal brain states. A robust and traditional method of…
We present a model-based approach for the closed-loop control of vortex shedding in the cylinder wake. The control objective is to suppress the unsteadiness of the flow, which arises at a critical Reynolds number $Re_c$ through a…
Nonsinusoidal oscillatory signals are everywhere. In practice, the nonsinusoidal oscillatory pattern, modeled as a 1-periodic wave-shape function (WSF), might vary from cycle to cycle. When there are finite different WSFs, $s_1,\ldots,s_K$,…

In Hamiltonian systems subjected to periodic perturbations the stable and unstable manifolds of the unstable periodic orbits provide the dynamical "skeleton" that drives the mixing process and bounds the chaotic regions of the phase space.…
A cylinder undergoes precession when it rotates around its axis and this axis itself rotates around another direction. In a precessing cylinder full of fluid, a steady and axisymmetric component of the azimuthal flow is generally present.…
