Results of direct numerical simulations (DNS) of porous-wall turbulent flows in open channels with conjugate heat transfer are reported in this work. For the conductive porous walls considered here, the change in heat transfer is not…
Direct numerical simulations of a uniform flow past a fixed spherical droplet are performed to investigate the parameter range within which the axisymmetric flow becomes unstable due to an external flow bifurcation. The hydrodynamics is…
The movement of small but finite spherical particles in a fluid can be described by the Maxey-Riley equation (MRE) if they are too large to be considered passive tracers. The MRE contains an integral "history term" modeling wake effects,…
Active flow control is applied to improve the aerodynamic performance of a NACA0018 airfoil operating as a single-bladed vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). Results computed by wall-resolved large-eddy simulations (LES) highlight the…
In molten-salt-fuelled reactor systems, the fluid may experience substantial volumetric heat generation in addition to heat removal from surrounding structures. To quantify these effects, we investigate developed channel flow with internal…
With increasing emphasis on carbon neutrality, accurate and efficient combustion prediction has become essential for the design and optimization of new generation combustion systems. This study established a computational framework by…
In this work, we aimed to replicate and extend the results presented in the DiffFluid paper[1]. The DiffFluid model showed that diffusion models combined with Transformers are capable of predicting fluid dynamics. It uses a denoising…
The original concepts behind The Full Nonlinear Vortex Tube-Vorton Method (FTVM) have been applied to the study of massively separated fluid flow past a thin body. In the pre-stall condition, the Kutta-Zhukovski (KJ) force calculation was…
Fuel-lean hydrogen combustion systems hold significant potential for low pollutant emissions, but are also susceptible to intrinsic combustion instabilities. While most research on these instabilities has focused on flames without wall…
Hydrogen combustion systems operated under fuel-lean conditions offer great potential for low emissions. However, these operating conditions are also susceptible to intrinsic thermodiffusive combustion instabilities. Even though technical…
This paper presents numerical investigations of flow-acoustic resonances in deep and inclined cavities using wall-resolved large-eddy simulations. A cavity with $D/L = 2.632$ is subjected to ($M_\infty=0.2$ and $0.3$) at three inclination…
This research investigates the three-dimensional effects of flow around a pair of flapping wings undergoing clap-and-fling interactions through harmonic in-plane motions combining pitching, heaving, and deviation. Both wings mirror each…
We derive the scale-by-scale uncertainty energy budget equation and demonstrate theoretically and computationally the presence of a self-similar equilibrium cascade of decorrelation in an inertial range of scales during the time range of…
We report the flow dynamics of two shear-banding wormlike micellar solutions with distinct surfactant chemistries in a Taylor-Couette (TC) setup following a startup shear. The solutions, formulated with CTAB/NaSal and CPyCl/NaSal, exhibit…
We explore the dynamics of the three-dimensional compressible Taylor--Green vortex from the perspective of kinetic theory by directly solving the six-dimensional Boltzmann equation. This work studies the connections between molecular-scale…
The deposition of a viscoplastic fluid onto a substrate can be achieved by simply moving apart two plates initially separated by a fluid filled gap, where the footprint shape depends on the initiation of a fingering instability. Here, we…
We consider fluid flows for which the linearized Navier-Stokes operator is strongly non-normal. The responses of such flows to external perturbations are spanned by a generically very large number of non-orthogonal eigenmodes. They are…
Measuring the rheology of liquids typically requires precise control over shear rates and stresses. Here, we describe an alternative route for predicting the characteristic features of a power-law fluid by simply observing the capillary…
Researchers have long debated which spatial arrangements and swimming synchronizations are beneficial for the hydrodynamic performance of fish in schools. In our previous work (Seo and Mittal, Bioinsp. Biomim., Vol. 17, 066020, 2022), we…
A novel model of the wake of swimming fish is developed and incorporated into a dynamical model of a fish school to explore the effect of hydrodynamics on the emergent behavior in schooling fish. The model incorporates well-established…
