Spiral wave solutions are found in linear and weakly nonlinear irrotational water wave equations. These unsteady spiral waves evolve from suitable initial conditions; they are not induced by external forcing. In the linear case, a long-time…
This study employs an improved delayed detached eddy simulation (AMD-IDDES) method to investigate the flow characteristics of an iced swept wing. The AMD-IDDES approach incorporates an anisotropic minimum-dissipation (AMD) model into the…
Multiphase systems are ubiquitous in engineering, biology, and materials science, where understanding their complex interactions and rheological behavior is crucial for advancing applications ranging from emulsion stability to cellular…
Cardiovascular surgeries and mechanical circulatory support devices create non-physiological blood flow conditions that can be detrimental, especially for pediatric patients. A source of complications is mechanical red blood cell (RBC)…
Underground storage of hydrogen and ammonia in geological formations is essential for renewable energy integration, but salt precipitation during gas injection may threaten storage performance. While extensively studied for CO2 systems,…
We investigate the interaction between vortex rings and cylindrical obstacles using direct numerical simulations across a wide range of geometric and dynamical parameters. The flow is characterized in terms of the diameter ratio between…
A novel approach is adopted to model cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow in human perivascular spaces (PVSs) surrounding brain-penetrating arteries. It is proposed that the outer PVS boundary oscillates due to brain pulsations and the arterial…
Liquid films coating vertical cylinders can form annular liquid collars which translate downwards under gravity. We investigate the dynamics of a thin viscoplastic liquid film coating the interior or exterior of a vertical cylindrical tube,…
Chiral active fluids consist of self-spinning particles that rotate as a result of a continuous injection of energy on the microscopic scale (e.g., by activity or an external field). The hydrodynamics of such fluids is described by…
The discrete velocity method (DVM) is a powerful framework for simulating gas flows across continuum to rarefied regimes, yet its efficiency remains limited by existing quadrature rules. Conventional infinite-domain quadratures, such as…
An outstanding characteristic of porous media, desired in many applications, is the large surface area, which facilitates solid-fluid interactions, making porous media an extreme case in colloid and interface science. In two-fluid systems,…
The roll streak structure (RSS) is ubiquitous in shear flow turbulence and is fundamental to the dynamics of the self-sustaining process (SSP) maintaining the turbulent state. The formation and maintenance of the RSS in wall-bounded shear…
Polar amplification describes the predicted reduction in the latitudinal surface temperature gradient, which will have physical implications for mid-latitude dynamics. The precise nature of these dynamical consequences remains unclear. Here…
Laboratory experiments with rotating tanks remain the premier physical analogue for atmospheric dynamics. Often, the equipment involved is engineered to be sufficiently versatile and modular so as to be able to accommodate experiments that…
A numerical investigation of flat fan sprays is conducted via Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS). Diverging liquid sheets are generated using tailored initial velocity profiles, where the opening angle serves as an explicit control…
The present research is a theoretical study about the transient friction created in circular pipe mean flow, whenever an incompressible Newtonian fluid is accelerated through a monotonously-increased mean-pressure gradient. The resulting…
Designing and optimising the geometry of industrial process equipment remains slow and still largely ad hoc: engineers make small tweaks to one standard shape at a time, build prototypes, and hope for gains. We introduce HARPPP, an…
Formation and dynamics of Taylor bubble in power-law liquids flowing through a circular co-flow microchannel are numerically investigated using coupled level set and volume-of-fluid method. Aqueous solutions of polyacrylamide (PAAm) are…
In the present study, Taylor bubble formation in two-phase gas-non-Newtonian Carreau liquid flowing through a confined co-flow microchannel is investigated. Systematic analysis are carried out to explore the influences of rheological…
The size distribution of aerosol droplets is a key parameter in a myriad of processes, and it is typically measured with optical aids (e.g., lasers or cameras) that require sophisticated calibration, thus making the measurement cost…
