Shallow flows are common in natural and human-made environments. Even for simple rectangular shallow reservoirs, recent laboratory experiments show that the developing flow fields are particularly complex, involving large-scale turbulent…
Systems comprising a turbulent channel flow overlaying a permeable bed can be found in a variety of industrial and natural applications (e.g. urban planning, fracking, submerged vegetation). One important realization of this system is at…
The sessile microbial communities known as biofilms exhibit varying architectures as environmental factors are varied, which for immersed biofilms includes the shear rate of the surrounding flow. Here we modify an established agent-based…
We combine confocal imaging, microfluidics and image analysis to record 3D-images of cells in flow. This enables us to recover the full 3D representation of several hundred living cells per minute. Whereas 3D confocal imaging has thus far…
Despite their importance in many biological, ecological and physical processes, microorganismal fluid flows under tight confinement have not been investigated experimentally. Strong screening of Stokelets in this geometry suggests that the…
Flows in porous media in the low Reynolds number regime are often modeled by the Brinkman equations. Analytical solutions to these equations are limited to standard geometries. Finite volume or element schemes can be used in more…
The flow of non-Newtonian fluids is ubiquitous in many applications in the geological and industrial context. We focus here on yield stress fluids (YSF), i.e. a material that requires minimal stress to flow. We study numerically the flow of…
This paper is an attempt to study the effects of surface topography on the flow of a droplet (or a bubble) in a low Reynolds number flow regime. Multiphase flows through a constricted passage find many interesting applications in chemistry…
Models and simulations of the flow of thin films of fluids have many important applications in industrial and natural processes. We consider the motion of a thin layer of an incompressible, Newtonian fluid over an arbitrary solid,…
Large Eddy Simulation (LES) with dynamic sub-grid scale eddy viscosity model has been applied to numerically investigate the evolution of complicated flow structures in supersonic base flow with mass bleed. Mean flow properties obtained…
We investigate drag reduction mechanisms in flows past two- and three-dimensional cylinders controlled by surface actuators using deep reinforcement learning. We investigate 2D and 3D flows at Reynolds numbers up to 8,000 and 4,000,…
We study a predator-prey model of plankton dynamics in the two and three-dimensional wakes of turbulent flows behind a cylinder, focusing on the impact of the three-dimensional character of the carrying velocity field on population variance…
Three-dimensional (3D) high-speed compressible flow is a typical nonlinear, nonequilibrium, and multiscale complex flow. Traditional fluid mechanics models, based on the quasi-continuum assumption and near-equilibrium approximation, are…
The analysis of flow around buildings has gained significant research interest across various domains, including pedestrian safety, pollutant dispersion, natural ventilation, and building energy efficiency. While these domains frequently…
In this study,we investigate the characteristics of three-dimensional turbulent boundary layers influenced by transverse flow and pressure gradients. Our findings reveal that even without assuming an infinite sweep, a fully developed…
Nominal two-dimensional (2D) shear layers have been studied extensively, and their principal dynamics are well understood. In practical configurations, however, the behavior of such shear layers is affected by proximal surfaces. In this…
Decapod crustaceans have appendages with an array of rigid hairs covered in chemo-receptors, used to sense and track food. Crustaceans directly influence the flow behavior by changing the speed of flow past the hairy surface, thereby…
Differential buoyancy surface sources in the ocean may induce a density-driven flow that joins faster flow components to create a multi-scale, 3D flow. Potential temperature and salinity are active tracers that determine the ocean's…
Micro-organisms usually can swim in their liquid environment by flagellar or ciliary beating. In this numerical work, we analyze the influence of flagellar beating on the orbits of a swimming cell in a shear flow. We also calculate the…
We study the problem of sinking particles in a realistic oceanic flow, with major energetic structures in the mesoscale, focussing in the range of particle sizes and densities appropriate for marine biogenic particles. Our aim is to unify…
