Most analyses of inertial particle motion in vortical flows rely on the point-particle approximation, in which the fluid velocity is assumed to be linear at the scale of the particle, and for heavy particles inertia typically leads to…
Tipping refers to the transition of a system from one state to another. In this study, we focus on shock-induced tipping, which occurs due to a sudden and large disturbance in a control parameter, which is referred to as the shock. This…
Capillary waves are a classical free-surface phenomenon in fluid mechanics, yet their behavior in chiral fluids remains largely unexplored. We show that odd viscosity breaks the reciprocity of capillary waves. Using linear theory together…
Identifying coherent flow structures in chemical reactors is crucial for understanding the mixing dynamics, which is essential for optimizing reactor performance. We demonstrate the use of a transfer operator method to find coherent flow…
A high-resolution Eulerian method for simulating high-speed polydisperse granular multiphase flows has been developed. The governing equations include a compressible gas that is coupled to mass-based moment equations for a polydisperse…
This paper presents novel refinement sensors for the application to adaptive mesh and algorithm refinement (AMAR) with kinetic models, such as discrete velocity and lattice Boltzmann methods. While refinement criteria for AMAR based on…
Internal waves, or waves that propagate within a stratified fluid, may break and cause mixing. While each individual mixing event may be small, collectively, internal wave breaking drive processes in the ocean that are critical to…
Axial piston pumps are indispensable power sources in high-stakes fluid power systems, including aerospace, marine, and heavy machinery applications. Their operational reliability is frequently compromised by compound faults that…
Complete high fidelity matched asymptotic expansions (abbreviated MAE) are developed for the first and second order turbulence statistics in channel flow from 11 direct numerical simulations (DNS). To put the crucial identification of…
Non-Newtonian rheology is widely acknowledged in subsurface fluids, yet its presence and effects are largely ignored in current fracture-flow studies. Here, we simulate fracture flow of non-Newtonian polymer solutions on a several…
Nonlinear unsteady vortex lattice-vortex particle methods (NL-UVLM-VPM) provide medium-fidelity predictions of rotorcraft aerodynamics with explicit three-dimensional wake representations at a moderate computational cost. This study…
We present an enhanced immersed interface method for simulating incompressible fluid flows in thin gaps between closely spaced immersed boundaries. This regime, common in engineered structures such as including tribological interfaces and…
A consistent kinetic modeling and discretization strategy for compressible flows across all Prandtl numbers and specific heat ratios is developed using the quasi-equilibrium approach within two of the most widely used double-distribution…
This study presents a comprehensive a priori analysis of tabulated-chemistry models for both laminar and turbulent lean premixed hydrogen flames in strained counterflow configuration. Particular focus is drawn on differential and…
We investigate the influence of expansion geometry on the flow field and turbulence structure in axisymmetric pipe flows through comparative analysis of abrupt ($90^\circ$) and gradual ($45^\circ$) area expansions with an area ratio of 2.56…
We present an experimental investigation examining how the complexity of pitching kinematics influences dynamic stall characteristics, including the stall delay and aerodynamic force response. The study examines whether the pitch rate…
Inspired by the Equation-Free paradigm, we propose an ``embed-learn-lift'' framework for constructing minimal-dimensional surrogate ROMs for the numerical analysis of high-fidelity Navier-Stokes simulations, even in the presence of…
Simulating massively separated turbulent flows over bodies is one of the major applications for large-eddy simulation (LES). In the current work, we propose a machine-learning-based LES framework for the rapid simulation of turbulent flows…
Vortex-force mapping (VFM) links vortical flow structures to aerodynamic forces through compact-domain integrals weighted by geometry-only Laplace potentials, but existing formulations are tied to simple geometries and laminar flows. In…
Electrohydrodynamic flows of weak electrolytes at the nanoscale are significantly influenced by the molecular structure of water-like polar solvents within the electric double layer (EDL). Moreover, unlike in microfluidics, at these length…
