Interactions between an evolving solid and inviscid flow can result in substantial computational complexity, particularly in circumstances involving varied boundary conditions between the solid and fluid phases. Examples of such…
We develop a combined field formulation for the fluid structure (FS) interaction problem. The unknowns are (u;p;v), being the fluid velocity, fluid pressure and solid velocity. This combined field formulation uses Arbitrary Lagrangian…
Through the decomposition of the pressure into the kinetic and the intermolecular contributions, we show that the pressure anisotropy in the fluid interface, which is the source of the interfacial tension, comes solely from the latter…
Multi-component fluid flow simulations in multi-scale porous structures often involve regions that are under-resolved at practical computational resolutions. Accurately capturing the contributions from these unresolved regions is critical.…

In this paper, we develop a phase-field model for binary incompressible (quasi-incompressible) fluid with thermocapillary effects, which allows for the different properties (densities, viscosities and heat conductivities) of each component…
The general problem of two-phase transport in phase-field models is analyzed: the flux of a conserved quantity is driven by the gradient of a potential through a medium that consists of domains of two distinct phases which are separated by…
Two main approaches in particle-based simulations for modeling a charged surface are using explicit, discrete charges and continuum, uniform charges. It is well-known that these two approaches could lead to substantially distinct ionic…

With flow, the acoustical effect of a lined wall cannot be described by a single quantity like the wall impedance. At least two quantities are required. In addition to the impedance, the unsteady tangential force exerted by the wall on the…
