This paper proposes a phase field model (PFM) for describing hydraulic fracture propagation in transversely isotopic media. The coupling between the fluid flow and displacement fields is established according to the classical Biot…
We present a mesoscopic hydrodynamic model for a spreading drop of volatile partially wetting liquid on a solid porous layer of small thickness. Thereby, evaporation takes place under strong confinement, i.e., we consider a drop that…
Fluid driven fractures propagate in the upper earth crust either naturally or in response to engineered fluid injections. The quantitative prediction of their evolution is critical in order to better understand their dynamics as well as to…
We analyse the spatial inhomogeneities ('spatial clustering') in the distribution of particles accelerated by a force that changes randomly in space and time. To quantify spatial clustering, the phase-space dynamics of the particles must be…

When processing dense emulsions, complex flows stretch and deform droplets to the point of breakup, changing the droplet size distribution and the mechanical properties of the final product. For steady homogeneous flows, a droplet's shape…
Analytical solutions and a vast majority of numerical ones for fracture propagation in saturated porous media yield smooth behavior while experiments, field observations and a few numerical solutions reveal stepwise crack advancement and…

A well-known drawback of the Volume-Of-Fluid (VOF) method is that the breakup of thin liquid films or filaments is mainly caused by numerical aspects rather than by physical ones. The rupture of thin films occurs when their thickness…
Grasping is a fundamental skill in robotics with diverse applications across medical, industrial, and domestic domains. However, current approaches for predicting valid grasps are often tailored to specific grippers, limiting their…
Unlike their line-based counterparts, surface-based techniques have yet to be thoroughly investigated in flow visualization due to their significant placement, speed, perception, and evaluation challenges. This paper presents SurfPatch, a…
In this work, we derive particle schemes, based on micro-macro decomposition, for linear kinetic equations in the diffusion limit. Due to the particle approximation of the micro part, a splitting between the transport and the collision part…
During the hydraulically induced compaction of a granular layer fracture patterns arise. In numerical simulations we study how these patterns depend on the gas properties as well as on the properties of the porous medium. In particular the…
Smooth dynamics interrupted by discontinuities are known as hybrid systems and arise commonly in nature. Latent ODEs allow for powerful representation of irregularly sampled time series but are not designed to capture trajectories arising…
