Previous studies of streamer discharge branching mechanisms have mainly been generative other than predictive. To predict or even control branching, a reliable connection between experimental conditions and streamer branching needs to be…
We present a computational framework for simulating filamentary electric discharges, in which channels are represented as conducting cylindrical segments. The framework requires a model that predicts the position, radius, and line…
The electrochemical permeation test is one of the most used methods for characterising hydrogen diffusion in metals. The flux of hydrogen atoms registered in the oxidation cell might be fitted to obtain apparent diffusivities. The magnitude…
Mirroring their role in electrical and optical physics, two-dimensional crystals are emerging as novel platforms for fluid separations and water desalination, which are hydrodynamic processes that occur in nanoscale environments. For…
A high-fidelity simulation of the shock/transitional boundary layer interaction caused by a 15-degrees axisymmetrical compression ramp is performed at a freestream Mach number of 5 and a transitional Reynolds number. The inlet of the…
Activation steering methods modify intermediate representations of language models to control output behavior, but universally assume the activation space is Euclidean. We show this assumption fails drastically: the local geometry induced…
The method of transformation optics has been a powerful tool to manipulate physical fields if governing equations are formally invariant under coordinate transformations. However, regulation of hydrodynamics is still far from satisfactory…
Porous membranes are thin solid structures that allow the flow to pass through their tiny openings, called pores. Flow inertia may play a significant role in several filtration flows of natural and engineering interest. Here, we develop a…
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…
Simulating streamer discharges in 3D can computationally be very expensive, which is why 2D Cartesian simulations are sometimes used instead, especially when dealing with complex geometries. Although 2D Cartesian simulations can only be…

A reasonably accurate representation of a polymer chain is provided by beads connected with rods, or stiff, inextensible springs that mimic a single Kuhn step. Due to high computational cost, coarse-grained bead-spring models are used in…

In this work, we make two improvements on the staggered grid hydrodynamics (SGH) Lagrangian scheme for modeling 2-dimensional compressible multi-material flows on triangular mesh. The first improvement is the construction of a dynamic local…
We study bilevel optimization with a fixed polyhedral lower feasible set. Such problems are challenging for two reasons: active-set changes can make the upper objective nonsmooth, and existing hypergradient methods typically require…
We investigate the perturbation dynamics in a supersonic shear layer using a combination of large-eddy simulations (LES) and linear-operator-based input-output analysis. The flow consists of two streams-a main stream (Mach 1.23) and a…
Since the 1970s, analogies between laser dynamics and fluid systems have provided insight into phenomena such as chaos, multistability, and turbulence. Building on this perspective, we model the optical field as an energy fluid and…
We introduce a new discretization for the stream function formulation of the incompressible Stokes equations in two and three space dimensions. The method is strongly related to the Hellan-Herrmann-Johnson method and is based on the…
