For a data-driven and physics combined modelling of unsteady flow systems with moving immersed boundaries, Sundar {\it et al.} introduced an immersed boundary-aware (IBA) framework, combining Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) and the…
Neural network subgrid stress models often have a priori performance that is far better than the a posteriori performance, leading to neural network models that look very promising a priori completely failing in a posteriori Large Eddy…
The high-fidelity characterization of soft, tissue-like materials under ultra-high-strain-rate conditions is critical in engineering and medicine. Still, it remains challenging due to limited optical access, sensitivity to initial…
We present a general-purpose wall model for large-eddy simulation. The model builds on the building-block flow principle, leveraging essential physics from simple flows to train a generalizable model applicable across complex geometries and…
Biomimetic design principles, inspired by the structure of alligator osteoderms, are employed to provide innovative solutions for enhancing membrane distillation system performance. A novel spacer design for membrane distillation (MD)…
Data-driven subgrid-scale (SGS) modeling in the large-eddy simulations (LES) suffers from the inconsistency between the \textit{a priori} tests and the a posteriori tests, which make training accurate SGS models a difficult task. We study…
Spiky oscillations are characterized by slow-fast dynamics and are observed in excitable media such as neuronal membranes and cardiac cells. In a turbulent reactive flow system, we observe that the heat release rate exhibits self-sustained…
Data-driven methods have demonstrated strong predictive capabilities in fluid mechanics, yet most current applications still focus on simplified configurations, often characterised by statistical stationarity or limited temporal…
Turbulent reacting flows confined to ducts are plagued by thermoacoustic instability, a state in which a positive feedback between flow, flame and acoustic perturbations leads to the emergence of catastrophically high-amplitude oscillatory…
We examine the linear stability of a shear flow driven by wind stress at the free surface and rotation at the lower boundary, mimicking oceanic flows influenced by surface winds and rotation of Earth. The linearised eigenvalue problem is…
Shallow flows are governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. They are commonly modelled using the shallow water equations, a great simplification of the Navier-Stokes equations, which often yields inaccurate results. For that reason, a model…
Supplying spare parts from Earth for in space repair is economically prohibitive and logistically slow, posing a major barrier to sustainable space operations. As lunar and Martian missions accelerate in the coming decades, the feasibility…
Reduced-order models (ROMs) of turbulent flows based on Galerkin projection often require many degrees of freedom to resolve the dynamics of the turbulence, or simulation data to obtain an optimal modal basis. However, obtaining simulation…
The two-dimensional evolution of perturbed long weakly-nonlinear surface plane, ring, and hybrid waves, consisting, to leading order, of a part of a ring and two tangent plane waves, is modelled numerically within the scope of the 2D…
The micromixing process in microfluidic devices is of central importance in quite a few applications, with microfluidic studies on carbon capture and environmental monitoring being two examples. High surface area to volume ratio in…
Vortex reconnections play a fundamental role in fluids.They increase the complexity of flow and develop small-scale motions.In this work, we report that in superfluids, they can also excite large scales. We numerically illustrate that…
The non-uniform evaporation rate at the liquid-gas interface of binary droplets induces solutal Marangoni flows. In glycerol-water mixtures (positive Marangoni number, where the more volatile fluid has higher surface tension), these flows…
Theoretical results on water waves almost always start by assuming irrotationality of the flow in order to simplify the formulation. In this work, we investigate the well-foundedness of this hypothesis via numerical simulations of the…
Internal waves in a two-layer fluid with rotation are considered within the framework of Helfrich's f-plane extension of the Miyata-Maltseva-Choi-Camassa (MMCC) model. Within the scope of this model, we develop an asymptotic procedure which…
This study compares aerodynamic performance of the CLF5605 rotor airfoil -- which flew on Ingenuity from 2021 to 2024 -- with that of a new optimized roamx-0201 airfoil designed for Martian conditions at NASA Ames. Specifically, performance…
