When particles settle through a stable temperature or salinity gradient they can drive an instability known as sedimentary fingering convection. This phenomenon is thought to occur beneath sediment-rich river plumes in lakes and oceans, in…

We use 123 three dimensional direct numerical simulations to study fingering convection in non-rotating spherical shells. We investigate the scaling behaviour of the flow lengthscale, the non-dimensional heat and compositional fluxes $Nu$…

We consider the steady-state fingering instability of an elastic membrane separating two fluids of different density under external pressure in a rotating Hele-Shaw cell. Both inextensible and highly extensible membranes are considered, and…

Computer simulations of sheared granular fluids, modeled as inelastic hard spheres, are presented which show signs of a uniquely three-dimensional instabilty. In the stable regime, a linear velocity profile, $v_{x}=ay$, with shear rate $a$…

This is a computational study of gravity-driven fingering instabilities in unsaturated porous media. The governing equations and corresponding numerical scheme are based on the work of Nieber et al. [Ch. 23 in Soil Water Repellency, eds. C.…

The solidification behavior of liquid metal in a container under rapid cooling process is one of the major concerns to be analyzed. In order to analyze its fundamental behavior, a three- dimensional (3D) fluid dynamics simulation was…

(Abridged) We analyse the stability and evolution of power-law accretion disc models. These have midplane densities that follow radial power-laws, and have either temperature or entropy distributions that are power-law functions of…

The effect of finger spreading on hydrodynamic drag in swimming is studied both with a numerical simulation and with laboratory experiments. Both approaches are based on the exact same 3D model of the hand with attached forearm. The virtual…

We present realistic 3D numerical simulations of elastic bodies sliding on top of each other in a regime of velocities ranging from meters to tens of meters per second using the so-called Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. Our…

We present an experimental study of the fingering patterns in a Hele-Shaw cell, occurring when a gel-like material forms at the interface between aqueous solutions of a cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) and an organic salt…

Viscous fingers in the lifting Hele-Shaw cell form a hierarchical pattern due to competition between growing fingers in a converging geometry. If the defending fluid is visco-plastic, a permanent three-dimensional pattern is formed, which…

We simulate by lattice Boltzmann the steady shearing of a binary fluid mixture with full hydrodynamics in three dimensions. Contrary to some theoretical scenarios, a dynamical steady state is attained with finite correlation lengths in all…

We present experiments and theory describing the transition from viscosity-stabilized flow to gravitationally unstable fingering for two-phase flow in a 3D synthetic porous medium. Observation is made possible by the use of our newly…

We present the results of large scale simulations of 4th order nonlinear partial differential equations of dif- fusion type that are typically encountered when modeling dynamics of thin fluid films on substrates. The simulations are based…

The treatment of mixing processes is still one of the major uncertainties in 1D stellar evolution models. This is mostly due to the need to parametrize and approximate aspects of hydrodynamics in hydrostatic codes. In particular, the effect…

Numerical simulation studies in 2D with the addition of noise are reported for the convection of a supercritical fluid,3He, in a Rayleigh-Be'nard cell where the fluid parameters and cell height L are the same as in published laboratory…

We consider instability of a two layered solid body of a denser material on top of a lighter one. This problem is widely known to geoscientist in sediment-salt migration as salt diapirism. In the literature, this problem has often been…

The double diffusive convection between two parallel plates is numerically studied for a series of parameters. The flow is driven by the salinity difference and stabilized by the thermal field. Our simulations are directly compared to…

In this paper we investigate the convection phenomenon in the intracluster medium (the weakly-collisional magnetized inhomogeneous plasma permeating galaxy clusters) where the concentration gradient of the Helium ions is not ignorable. To…

Double diffusive convection (DDC), which is the buoyancy driven flow with fluid density depending on two scalar components, is ubiquitous in many natural and engineering enviroments. Of great interests are scalers transfer rate and flow…
