We study how the complex interplay between roughness, inertia, and diffusion controls the tracer transport in rough channels. We first simulate the flow and tracer transport over wide ranges of channel roughness, Reynolds number ($Re$), and…
We consider the slow flow of a viscous incompressible liquid in a channel of constant but arbitrary cross section shape, driven by non-uniform suction or injection through the porous channel walls. A similarity transformation reduces the…

Anisotropic, finite-sized particles, common in environmental and industrial flows, exhibit complex dynamics distinct from those of small, spherical particles. Their shape introduces orientation-dependent forces, and their finite size…
The paper deals with a theoretical investigation of the peristaltic transport of a physiological fluid in a porous asymmetric channel under the action of a magnetic field. The stream function, pressure gradient and axial velocity are…
Practically all flows are turbulent in nature and contain some kind of irregularly-shaped particles, e.g. dirt, pollen, or life forms such as bacteria or insects. The effect of the particles on such flows and vice-versa are highly…
We study the stability of the Couette-Taylor flow between porous cylinders with radial throughflow. It had been shown earlier that this flow can be unstable with respect to non-axisymmetric (azimuthal or helical) waves provided that the…
