Models of cylinders in the oscillatory flow can be found virtually everywhere in the marine industry, such as pump towers experiencing sloshing load in a LNG ship liquid tank. However, compared to the problem of a cylinder in the uniform…
All four giant planets in the Solar System feature zonal flows on the order of 100 m/s in the cloud deck, and large-scale intrinsic magnetic fields on the order of 1 Gauss near the surface. The vertical structure of the zonal flows remains…
Zonal and meridional axisymmetric flows can deeply impact the rotational and chemical evolution of stars. Therefore, momentum exchanges between waves propagating in stars, differential rotation, and meridional circulation must be carefully…
We investigate the long-term evolution of an initially buoyant magnetic flux tube emerging into a gravitationally-stratified coronal hole environment and report on the resulting oscillations and outflows. We perform 2.5D nonlinear numerical…
We study the large-scale helical vortex shedding regime in the wake of an axisymmetric body with a blunt trailing edge at high Reynolds numbers, both experimentally and by means of local, linear, spatiotemporal stability analysis. In the…
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…
We reveal and investigate a new type of linear axisymmetric helical magnetorotational instability which is capable of destabilizing viscous and resistive rotational flows with radially increasing angular velocity, or positive shear. This…
High-fidelity numerical simulations of compressible flow past a rapidly rotating cylinder are used to investigate the evolution of aerodynamic loads and flow instability over a wide range of Reynolds numbers (Re = 1000 to 6000). The study…
We study the response of one dimensional diffusive systems, consisting of particles interacting via symmetric or asymmetric exclusion, to time-periodic driving from two reservoirs coupled to the ends. The dynamical response of the system…
We study the free surface response in a cylindrical container undergoing an elliptic periodic orbit. For small forcing amplitudes and deep liquid layers, we quantify the effect of orbit's aspect ratio onto the surface dynamics in the…
The banded structures observed on the surfaces of the gas giants are associated with strong zonal winds alternating in direction with latitude. We use three-dimensional numerical simulations of compressible convection in the anelastic…
This paper starts from the far-field behaviours of velocity field in externally-unbounded flow. We find that the well-known algebraic decay of disturbance velocity as derived kinematically is too conservative. Once the kinetics is taken…
Using a parametric interaction formalism, we show that the equilibrium sheared rotation can enhance the zonal flow damping effect found in Ref. [M. Leconte and P.H. Diamond, \emph{Phys. Plasmas} 19, 055903 (2012)]. This additional damping…
A viscous instability in shearing laminar axisymmetric hydrodynamic flows around a gravitating center is described. In the linearized hydrodynamic equations written in the Boussinesq approximation with microscopic molecular transport…
A remarkable phenomenon in turbulent flows is the spontaneous emergence of coherent large spatial scale zonal jets. Geophysical examples of this phenomenon include the Jovian banded winds and the Earth's polar front jet. In this work a…
It is argued that there are three distinct zones in a wall bounded turbulent flow field dominated by three completely different mechanisms: - An outer region where the velocity profile is determined by the pressure distribution - A highly…
Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) are very puzzling since they remain totally unexplained by popular earlier models of accretion disks. The significant rms value in power density spectrum implies that the oscillation involves in the…
We explore the effect of forcing on the linear shear flow or plane Couette flow, which is also the background flow in the very small region of the Keplerian accretion disk. We show that depending on the strength of forcing and boundary…
We examine the effects of a periodically varying flow velocity on the standing and travelling wave patterns formed by the flow-distributed oscillation (FDO) mechanism. In the kinematic (or diffusionless) limit, the phase fronts undergo a…
Flow-Induced Vibrations (FIV) of an elastically mounted circular cylinder are investigated by means of two-dimensional simulations. A mechanical coupling between cross-flow translation and rotation provides a single degree-of-freedom system…
