Gravity currents descending a slope in a linearly stratified environment can be frequently encountered in nature. However, few studies have quantitatively investigated the evolution process of lock-exchange gravity currents in such…
Buoyancy effects in unstably stratified mixing layers express themselves through gravity currents of heavy fluid which propagate in an ambient lighter fluid. These currents are encountered in numerous geophysical flows, industrial safety…
Prediction of flow profiles of slowly sheared granular materials is a major geophysical and industrial challenge. Understanding the role of gravity is particularly important for future planetary exploration in varying gravitational…
We examine the fluid flow forced by precession of a rotating cylindrical container using numerical simulations and experimental flow measurements with ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry (UDV). The analysis is based on the decomposition of the…
Fluidic transport in inverted T-shaped cavities with the flow entering through the top and exiting from the two bottom outlets experiences an interesting phenomenon that causes particles having density lower than that of the fluid medium to…
In order to treat immiscible two-phase flows at large density ratios and high Reynolds numbers, a three-dimensional code based on the discrete unified gas kinetic scheme (DUGKS) is developed, incorporating two major improvements. First, the…
The Reynolds transport theorem occupies a central place in fluid dynamics, providing a generalized integral conservation equation for the transport of any conserved quantity within a fluid, and connected to its corresponding differential…
The mixing in three-dimensional enclosures is investigated numerically using flow in cubical cavity as a geometrically simple model of various natural and engineering flows. The mixing rate is evaluated for up to the value of Reynolds…
We report and analyze the results of numerical studies of dense granular flows in two and three dimensions, using both linear damped springs and Hertzian force laws between particles. Chute flow generically produces a constant density…
The interacting lattice gas model is used to simulate fluid flow through an open percolating porous medium with the fluid entering at the source-end and leaving from the opposite end. The shape of the steady-state concentration profile and…
Mesoscale filtering and protective layers are replete throughout the natural world. Within the body, arrays of extracellular proteins, microvilli, and cilia can act as both protective layers and mechanosensors. For example, blood flow…
"Consider the [turbidity] current as ... a river" R. A. Bagnold (1962); the foundation of contemporary deep marine sedimentology. Gravity currents, such as sediment-laden turbidity currents, are ubiquitous natural flows that are driven by a…
We study experimentally the dynamics of a dense intruder sinking under gravity inside a vibrated 2D granular packing. The surrounding flow patterns are characterized and the falling trajectories are interpreted in terms of an effectivive…
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) have been employed to investigate the dynamics of finite-size spherical particles, slightly heavier than the carrier fluid, in a horizontal turbulent square duct flow.…
We perform a series of experiments to measure Lagrangian trajectories of settling and rising particles as they traverse a density interface of thickness $h$ using an index-matched water-salt-ethanol solution. The experiments confirm the…
In this paper, we propose an analytical framework for internal hydraulic jumps. Density jumps or internal hydraulic jumps occur when a supper critical flow of water discharges into a stagnant layer of water with slightly different density.…
Particle segregation in dense flowing size-disperse granular mixtures is driven by gravity and shear, but predicting the associated segregation force due to both effects has remained an unresolved challenge. Here, a model of the combined…
We report on a series of fully resolved simulations of the flow around a rigid sphere translating steadily near a wall, either in a fluid at rest or in the presence of a uniform shear. Non-rotating and freely rotating spheres subject to a…
In this paper, we study the fully developed gravity-driven flow of granular materials between two inclined planes. We assume that the granular materials can be represented by a modified form of the second-grade fluid where the viscosity…
Current development of micro-scale technologies increases the interest to viscous flows with low and moderate Reynolds numbers. This work theoretically studies the entrainment flow of a viscous jet emerging from a plane wall into a half…
