In this paper, we report new insight into a symmetry-breaking phenomenon that occurs for turbulent flow in periodic porous media composed of cylindrical solid obstacles with circular cross-section. We have used Large Eddy Simulation to…
The mechanism for singularity formation in an inviscid wall-bounded fluid flow is investigated. The incompressible Euler equations are numerically simulated in a cylindrical container. The flow is axisymmetric with swirl. The simulations…
We study formation of quasi two-dimensional (thin pancakes) vortex structures in three-dimensional flows, and quasi one-dimensional structures in two-dimensional hydrodynamics. These structures are formed at high Reynolds numbers, when…
Emergence of singularity of vorticity at a single point, not related to any symmetry of the initial distribution, has been demonstrated numerically for the first time. Behavior of the maximum of vorticity near the point of collapse closely…
Flow instability and turbulent transition can be well explained using a new proposed theory--Energy gradient theory [1]. In this theory, the stability of a flow depends on the relative magnitude of energy gradient in streamwise direction…
The 3D incompressible Euler equations in a bounded domain are most often supplemented with impermeable boundary conditions, which constrain the fluid to neither enter nor leave the domain. We establish well-posedness with inflow, outflow of…
We consider the two-dimensional (2D) flow in a flat free-slip surface that bounds a three-dimensional (3D) volume in which the flow is turbulent. The equations of motion for the two-dimensional flow in the surface are neither compressible…
In this paper, the two dimensional Euler flow under a simple symmetry condition with hyperbolic structure in a unit square $D=\{(x_1,x_2):0<x_1+x_2<\sqrt{2},0<-x_1+x_2<\sqrt{2}\}$ is considered. It is shown that the Lipschitz estimate of…

We address the question whether a singularity in a three-dimensional incompressible inviscid fluid flow can occur in finite time. Analytical considerations and numerical simulations suggest high-symmetry flows being a promising candidate…
Breakup of drop/bubble can be viewed as a result of fundamental force balance when the disruptive force is greater than the restorative force. A disruptive force acting on the drop/bubble tries to deform it, whereas a restorative force…
Three dimensional unsteady flow of fluids in the Lagrangian description is considered as an autonomous dynamical system in four dimensions. The condition for the existence of a symplectic structure on the extended space is the frozen field…
We introduce a notion of stability for non-autonomous Hamiltonian flows on two-dimensional annular surfaces. This notion of stability is designed to capture the sustained twisting of particle trajectories. The main Theorem is applied to…

The conventional boundary conditions at the interface between two flowing liquids include continuity of the tangential velocity. We have tested this assumption with molecular dynamics simulations of Couette and Poiseuille flows of…
The temporal modal and nonmodal growth of three-dimensional perturbations in the boundary-layer flow over an infinite compliant flat wall is considered. Using a wall-normal velocity/wall-normal vorticity formalism, the dynamic boundary…

Two finite volume methods are derived and applied to the solution of problems of incompressible flow. In particular, external inviscid flows and boundary-layer flows are examined. The firstmethod analyzed is a cell-centered finite volume…
