Many natural and engineering systems involve the mixing of two fluid streams, in which the effects of density and viscosity gradients play important roles in determining flow stability. We perform linear stability calculations for a jet…

This paper tackles the approximation of surface diffusion flow using a Cahn--Hilliard-type model. We introduce and analyze a new second order variational phase field model which associates the classical Cahn--Hilliard energy with two…
The Rosette HH1 jet is a collimated flow immersed in the strong UV radiation field of the Rosette Nebula. We investigate the physical properties of the Rosette HH1 jet using high-quality narrow-band images and high-dispersion spectroscopy.…
We present Spitzer (IRAC) images observations and a VLT 2.1micron image of the HH 212 outflow. We find that this outflow has a strong symmetry, with jet/counterjet knot pairs with Delta x less than 1 arcsec position offsets. We deduce that…
The Voyager spacecraft is now approaching the edge of the solar system. Near the boundary between the solar system and the interstellar medium we find that an unstable ``jet-sheet'' forms. The jet-sheet oscillates up and down due to a…
We present near-infrared [Fe II] images of four Class 0/I jets (HH 1/2, HH 34, HH 111, HH 46/47) observed with the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3. The unprecedented angular resolution allows us to measure proper motions, jet…
Dripping, jetting and tip streaming have been studied up to a certain point separately by both fluid mechanics and microfluidics communities, the former focusing on fundamental aspects while the latter on applications. Here, we intend to…
At present, the heliosphere is embedded in a warm low density interstellar cloud that belongs to a cloud system flowing through the local standard of rest with a velocity near ~18 km/s. The velocity structure of the nearest interstellar…
We present images of the HH 211 molecular jet in the SiO v=0, J=1-0 line at 43 GHz made with the Very Large Array at approximately 0.5 arcsec resolution. The SiO emission appears to trace primarily internal bowshocks in the outflow,…
We study the dynamics of faint stellar substructures around the Umbrella Galaxy, NGC 4651, which hosts a dramatic system of streams and shells formed through the tidal disruption of a nucleated dwarf elliptical galaxy. We elucidate the…
Hypersonic leading-edge separation is studied towards understanding the varying shock-related unsteadiness with freestream Reynolds number ($1.66 \times 10^5 \leq Re_D \leq 5.85 \times 10^5$) in the newly constructed hypersonic Ludwieg…
Protostellar sources in star forming regions are responsible for driving jets with flow velocities ranging between 300 and 400 km s$^{-1}$. This class of jets consists of highly collimated outflows which include thermal knots with number…
We have observed the bipolar jet from RW Aur A with STIS on board the HST. After continuum subtraction, morphological and kinematic properties of this outflow can be traced to within 0."1 from the source in forbidden emission lines. The jet…
New, high-sensitivity interferometric CO J=2-1 observations of the HH 7-11 outflow show that despite previous doubts, this system is powered by the Class I source SVS 13. The molecular outflow from SVS 13 is formed by a shell with a large…
We presents results from Smoothed Particle Magnetohydrodynamics simulations of collapsing molecular cloud cores, and dynamo amplification of the magnetic field in the presence of Mach 10 magnetised turbulence. Our star formation simulations…
Isothermal fluid turbulence simulations have been performed in the edge and scrape-off-layer (SOL) of an analytic stellarator configuration with an island divertor, thereby providing numerical insight into edge turbulence in regions around…
We present 1D numerical simulations aimed at studying the hot-flasher scenario for the formation of He-rich subdwarf stars. Sequences were calculated for a wide range of metallicities and physical assumptions, such as the stellar mass at…
We first investigate an approximate structure of the top region (TR) of a jet, sandwiched by a front shock from which the surrounding matter (SM) inflows and a rear shock from which the jet matter (JM) inflows. Since pressure in the TR is…
We study the fronts that appear when a shear-thickening suspension is submitted to a sudden driving force at a boundary. Using a quasi-one-dimensional experimental geometry, we extract the front shape and the propagation speed from the…
