We analyse the stability of viscoelastic Dean flow (flow of an elastic fluid through a curved two-dimensional channel, driven by an azimuthal pressure gradient) in the absence of fluid inertia. This configuration is well known to exhibit a…
This study investigates the use of High-Performance Computing (HPC) to simulate flow and transport in ultra-large micro-CT images of porous materials using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Two distinct rock samples, representative of two…
Developing an understandable theory for the dynamic evolution of the morphology of clouds remains intractable. To break this deadlock, we introduce a new conceptual model for cloud-scale motions named the Kinematics Representation of…
Metamaterials are structures composed of repeating unit-cells which enable macro-scale properties not found in nature. Since metamaterials are typically solid structures with predetermined interconnections, it is challenging to leverage…
We study at the laboratory scale the rupture of thin floating sheets made of a brittle material under a wave-induced mechanical forcing. We show that the rupture occurs where the curvature is maximum and the break-up threshold strongly…
Integral constraints on the linear instability of stratified parallel flow with planar shear at an arbitrary angle to the vertical are derived using the analytical approach of Miles and Howard, for perturbations with 2D spatial structure,…
Microplastics are transported by ocean surface waves in ways that depart significantly from the Stokes drift of fluid parcels, and accurate modeling of this transport requires accounting for forces beyond linear drag. Existing modeling of…
A preliminary study has been conducted on the effects of serration on the leading-edge of a two-element trapezoidal wing placed both out-of- and in-ground effect. Aerodynamic performance and flow behaviour were evaluated numerically and…
We use direct numerical simulations to investigate fluid-solid interactions in suspensions of rigid fibres settling under gravity in a quiescent fluid. The solid-to-fluid density ratio is $\mathcal{O}(100)$, while the Galileo number ($Ga$)…
We study the dynamics and clustering of dust particles with inertia in shock-dominated compressible turbulence using the two-dimensional, stochastically forced Burgers equation. At small Stokes numbers, shock trapping leads to extreme…
With growing interest in space exploration, optimized airfoil design has become increasingly important. However, airfoil design in rarefied gas flows remains underexplored because solving the Boltzmann equation formulated in a six…
Shock-boundary layer interactions (SBLI) on hypersonic cone step flows exhibit a range of intrinsic unsteady behaviors, from shear-layer oscillations to large-scale pulsations. This work investigates the unsteadiness in a cone-step geometry…
Wettability quantifies the affinity of a liquid over a substrate, and determines whether the surface is repellent or not. When both the liquid and the solid phases are made of the same chemical substance and are at thermal equilibrium,…
We compare experiments and fully-resolved particle simulations designed to match the experimental conditions of a weakly inertial, neutrally buoyant, moderately oblate spheroid in shear flow under confinement. Experimental and numerical…
When a drop impacts a solid substrate or a thin liquid film, a thin gas disc is entrapped due to surface tension, the gas disc retracts into one or several bubbles. While the evolution of the gas disc for impact on solid substrate or film…
The residual-based variational multiscale (VMS) formulation has achieved remarkable success in large-eddy simulation of turbulent flows. However, its temporal discretization has largely remained limited to second-order implicit schemes. The…
Particles are known to sediment faster in containers with tilted walls than in vertical ones, a phenomenon known as the Boycott effect. In this work, we investigate how the tilt angle influences sedimentation in narrow channels across…
This work presents a fully coupled combustor turbine simulation framework applied to the MYTHOS aeroengine, developed within the Horizon Europe project MYTHOS, aimed at assessing the impact of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) and hydrogen…
We present the Characteristic Bending (CB) method, a general framework for advecting quantities under incompressible velocity fields. The method builds on standard semi-Lagrangian advection by interpreting the backward-in-time…
This experimental and numerical study examines transition to turbulence for a Cone-Cylinder-Flare geometry at Mach 7 and across a broad Reynolds number range. The focus is set on both attached boundary layers and separated shock-boundary…
