Biomimetic underwater robots use lateral periodic oscillatory motion to propel forward, which is seen in most fishes known as body caudal fin (BCF) propulsion. The lateral oscillatory motion makes slender-bodied fish-like robots roll…
The integration of a theory regarding the dynamics of averaged magnetic moment in a turbulent setting with the concept of a self-optimized cascade loop of helical fluxes, either spontaneously or intentionally generated near the separatrix,…
The instability characteristics of lean hydrogen/air flames have attracted considerable research attention, yet the effect of gravity remains insufficiently understood. In this study, time-resolved two-dimensional simulations with detailed…
Thermoacoustic instabilities remain a major challenge in the operation and development of modern gas turbine combustors for power generation and propulsion. In laboratory environments, such instabilities can also hinder the accurate…
This study investigates the role of inertia in moving contact lines using experiments, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulations. Experiments are conducted using a plate immersion configuration over a wide range of Reynolds numbers…
Intrinsic instabilities of laminar premixed flames play an important role in the dynamics of hydrogen combustion and in the development of predictive models for reacting flows. However, determining their dispersion relations typically…
Trees are key roughness elements in urban environments, shaping airflow, microclimates, and pollutant dispersion. Yet the aerodynamic drag of complex tree-like structures at high Reynolds numbers remains poorly characterized compared with…
Vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) remain a canonical yet complex manifestation of fluid-structure interactions, where coupled nonlinear dynamics govern the motion of bluff bodies. For several years, we have relied on traditional reduced-order…
This study investigates the dynamics of passively morphing foils under accelerated plunging, establishing mechanistic links between transient kinematics, structural compliance, and aerodynamic performance. Two-way coupled simulations are…
This work applies Resolvent Analysis (RA) to study the dynamics of a hydrogen-air slot flame with a Reynolds number of 5500, a Karlovitz number of 20, and an equivalence ratio of 0.4. Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) data are analyzed…
Accurately and stably solving the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations with physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) remains challenging, particularly for sparse or noisy observations and for flow regimes in which the local balance among…
Mineral replacement reactions under advective flow often suffer from severe spatial inefficiency: dissolution causes the flow to self-focus into a few dominant wormholes that bypass the surrounding matrix, leaving most of the rock…
Two-component convection driven by both compositional and thermal buoyancy within the fluid core of a rapidly rotating planet produces a predominantly axial dipole field. In a dynamo driven by strong compositional buoyancy that by itself…
We prove a mathematical theorem that solution for all $t > 0$ of the two-dimensional (2D) Kolmogorov flow governed by Navier-Stokes (NS) equations with periodic boundary condition keeps the same spatial symmetry as its smooth initial…
We present a differential geometric framework for the motion of a non-Brownian particle in the presence of fixed obstacles in a quiescent fluid, in the deterministic Stokesian regime. While the Helmholtz Minimum Dissipation Theorem suggests…
In fully developed homogeneous and isotropic turbulence, the Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions of motion, although formally equivalent, become statistically decoupled. In this work, by invoking Liouville theorem, we show that the joint…
When a turbulent vortex impinges on a porous layer, it creates a complex multiscale interaction: the wake structures that form in the free fluid engage with the intricate geometry of the pores, and this interplay governs both the turbulent…
Internally actuated elastic particles are widely used in biomedical applications. It is imperative to understand the dynamics of such particles in pressure-driven microfluidic devices to manipulate their motion. We analytically examine the…
We present a two-level (fluid-kinetic) coupling procedure for the simulation of wall-bounded flows at Reynolds numbers up to thousands. The method combines a kinetic Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) treatment of the near-wall layer,…
Surface bubbles are an abundant source of aerosols, with important implications for climate processes. In this context, we investigate the stability and thinning dynamics of soap films under effective gravity fields. Experiments are…
