Precession has been proposed as an alternative power source for planetary dynamos. Previous hydrodynamic simulations suggested that precession can generate very complex flows in planetary liquid cores [Y. Lin, P. Marti, and J. Noir,…
The cochlea is our fluid-filled organ of hearing with a unique spiral shape. The physiological role of this shape remains unclear. Previous research has paid only little attention to the occurrence of transverse flow in the cochlea, in…
Context. Kink waves are routinely observed in coronal loops. Resonant absorption is a well-accepted mechanism that extracts energy from kink waves. Nonlinear kink waves are know to be affected by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. However,…

A model is presented that explains the `torsional oscillation' pattern of deviations in the solar rotation rate as a geostrophic flow. The flow is driven by temperature variations near the surface due to the enhanced emission of radiation…

A canonical problem of axially strained flow in a duct of circular-sector cross-section, with fluid injection through the circular arc, is examined for a range of Reynolds numbers and sector angles. At small Reynolds numbers, the flow…
Rotating spiral patterns in Rayleigh-B\'enard convection are known to induce azimuthal flows, which raises the question of how different neighboring spirals interact with each other in spiral chaos, and the role of hydrodynamics in this…
Polymer melts represent the flow-history-dependent behavior. To clearly show this behavior, we have investigated flow behavior of an entangled polymer melt around two cylinders placed in tandem along the flow direction in a two dimensional…
One of the proposed damping mechanisms of coronal (transverse) loop oscillations in the kink-mode is resonant absorption as a result of the Alfven speed variation at the outer boundary of coronal loops. Analytical expressions for the period…
The classical problem of steady streaming induced by an oscillating object has been studied extensively, but prior work has focused almost exclusively on single-frequency oscillations, which result in symmetric, quadrupole-like flows. Here…
Flow of cerebrospinal fluid in perivascular spaces is a key mechanism underlying brain transport and clearance. In this paper, we present a mathematical and numerical formalism for reduced models of pulsatile viscous fluid flow in networks…
Two-dimensional laminar flow of a viscous fluid induced by peristalsis due to a moving wall wave has been studied previously for a rectangular channel, a circular tube, and a concentric circular annulus. Here we study peristaltic flow in a…
Shear-driven flow between a rotating cylinder and a stationary elliptical enclosure is studied in this paper. Two-dimensional time-dependent Navier Stokes equations are solved using a meshless method where interpolations are done with…
The complete flow field surrounding a rotating cylinder is calculated by solving the Navier-Stokes equations using the finite difference method. The numerical simulation is performed on a transformed rectilinear grid, with axes representing…
We demonstrate via direct numerical simulations that a periodic, oscillating mean flow spontaneously develops from turbulently generated internal waves. We consider a minimal physical model where the fluid self-organizes in a convective…
Dense particulate suspensions can not only increase their viscosity and shear thicken under external forcing, but also jam into a solid-like state that is fully reversible when the force is removed. An impact on the surface of a dense…
We consider rotating superfluid pionic liquid, with superfluidity being induced by isospin chemical potential. The rotation is known to result in a chiral current flowing along the axis of the rotation. We argue that in case of…
