Waves are propagating disturbances that redistribute energy across space. Previous studies have shown that for waves propagating through an inhomogeneously moving mean flow, the conserved quantity is wave action rather than wave energy,…
Through switching contraction patterns driving digestive flows, the small intestine balances nutrient uptake and waste removal. Complex segmentation contraction patterns are associated with higher nutrient uptake, while peristaltic…
The diffuse-interface model for two-phase flows with soluble surfactants has garnered considerable attention due to its ability to circumvent the need for Robin boundary condition in the bulk surfactant transport equation. However, the…
Lie scale invariance is used to reduce the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to non-linear ordinary equations. This yields a formulation in terms of logarithmic spirals as independent variables. We give the equations when the spirals…
Proteinoids, as soft matter fluidic systems, are computational substrates that have been recently proposed for their analog computing capabilities. Such systems exhibit oscillatory electrical activity because of cationic and anionic…
Pendular liquid bridges with concave meridians between two equal rigid spheres are mathematically studied emphasizing some less analyzed facts in the literature. Discrepancies from the numerical solution of the Young-Laplace equation are…
In the present paper, we apply the framework of volume-filtering for particle-laden flows, to large eddy simulations (LES) of wall-bounded flows leading to a new perspective on wall-modeled LES (WMLES) that we refer to as volume-filtered…
Could the microdroplets formed by viscoelastic stretching and break-up of mucosal liquids in the upper respiratory tract (URT), when inhaled further downwind, explain the brisk pace at which deep lung infections emerge following onset of…
This paper presents a method to design and develop scaled down models of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) to test in a limited sized wind tunnel. The mathematical design of a HAWT is carried out at a rated speed of 5 m/s, by using…
This paper presents a brief review on theoretical and numerical works on three-dimensional acoustic turbulence both in a weakly nonlinear regime, when the amplitudes of sound waves are small, and in the case of strong nonlinearity. This…
In this work we present a novel methodology that combines Higher Order Singular Value Decomposition (HOSVD) with Deep Learning (DL) techniques for super-resolution in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and sparse experimental datasets. This…
We present a novel architecture for accelerating PIV calculations. An optical flow hardware accelerator does the brunt of the work, with cross-correlation only providing quick corrections. The result is RapidPIV: a free-to-download software…
The primary bifurcation of the flow past three-dimensional axisymmetric bodies is investigated. We show that the azimuthal vorticity generated at the body surface is at the root of the instability, and that the mechanism proposed by…
Measuring stress fields in fluids and soft materials is crucial in various fields such as mechanical engineering, medicine, and bioengineering. However, conventional methods that calculate stress fields from velocity fields struggle to…
This study explores the mixed convection of carbon nanotube (CNT)-water nanofluid within a square cavity containing heated cylinders under the influence of a magnetic field, focusing on three geometric configurations: a single heated…
We propose an empirical extension of Yakhot's model of strong turbulence [V. Yakhot, Phys. Rev. E 57(2) (1998)] that correctly describes the statistics of longitudinal velocity increments not only in the inertial range but also for larger…
The design and optimization of cryogenic propellant storage tanks for NASA's future space missions require fast and accurate predictions of long-term fluid behaviors. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques are high-fidelity but…
The acoustofluidic method holds great promise for manipulating microorganisms. When exposed to the steady vortex structures of acoustic streaming flow, these microorganisms exhibit intriguing dynamic behaviors, such as hydrodynamic trapping…
An isolated charge-neutral drop suspended in an unbounded medium does not migrate in a uniform DC electric field. A nearby wall breaks the symmetry and causes the drop to drift towards or away from the boundary, depending on the electric…
Thermoacoustic instability (TAI) is a pressing problem in rocket combustors. TAI can cause significant damage to a combustor, resulting in mission failure. Therefore, stability analysis is crucial during the design and development phases of…
