We study of the formation of pattern-forming fronts in the presence of a rigidly-propagating parameter ramp which is slowly-varying in space. In the context of the prototypical supercritical complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, we show that…
Inverse problems in computational mechanics consist of inferring physical fields that are latent in the model describing some observable fields. For instance, an inverse problem of interest is inferring the Reynolds stress field in the…
In this manuscript, it is analysed the onset and evolution of natural convection of an incompressible fluid between spherical shells. The shells are kept at a fixed temperature difference and aspect ratio, and the Rayleigh-Benard convection…
Granular flows down inclined channels with smooth boundaries are common in nature and in the industry. Nevertheless, the common setup of flat boundaries has comparatively been much less investigated than the bumpy boundaries one, which is…
Many geophysical and astrophysical phenomena are driven by turbulent fluid dynamics, containing behaviors separated by tens of orders of magnitude in scale. While direct simulations have made large strides toward understanding geophysical…
A large number of flows with distinctive patterns have been observed in experiments and simulations of Rayleigh-Benard convection in a water-filled cylinder whose radius is twice the height. We have adapted a time-dependent pseudospectral…
Boundary layers play an important role in controlling convective heat transfer. Their nature varies considerably between different application areas characterized by different boundary conditions, which hampers a uniform treatment. Here, we…
By tailoring the geometry of the upper boundary in turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection we manipulate the boundary layer -- interior flow interaction, and examine the heat transport using the Lattice Boltzmann method. For fixed amplitude…
Turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection displays a large-scale order in the form of rolls and cells on lengths larger than the layer height once the fluctuations of temperature and velocity are removed. These turbulent superstructures are…
We present a numerical study of convection in a horizontal layer comprising a fluid-saturated porous bed overlain by an unconfined fluid layer. Convection is driven by a vertical, destabilising temperature difference applied across the…
It is shown that homogeneous Rayleigh-Benard flow, i.e., Rayleigh-Benard turbulence with periodic boundary conditions in all directions and a volume forcing of the temperature field by a mean gradient, has a family of exact, exponentially…
Self-arrangement of individuals into spatial patterns often accompanies and promotes species diversity in ecological systems. Here, we investigate pattern formation arising from cyclic dominance of three species, operating near a…
We numerically simulate three-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, the flow in a fluid layer heated from below and cooled from above, with inhomogeneous temperature boundary conditions to explore two distinct regimes described in…
The stability and transition in the bottom boundary layer under a solitary wave are analysed in the presence of finite amplitude disturbances. First, the receptivity of the boundary layer is investigated using a linear input-output…
Fluid transport networks are important in many natural settings and engineering applications, from animal cardiovascular and respiratory systems to plant vasculature to plumbing networks and chemical plants. Understanding how network…
We study a local data inverse problem for the time-dependent Convection-Diffusion Equation (CDE) in a bounded domain where a part of the boundary is treated to be inaccessible. Up on assuming the inaccessible part to be flat, we seek for…
We present a systematic numerical investigation of bifurcations in the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes flow past a confined circular cylinder. The results indicate that there is a qualitative correspondence between changes in…
