We consider the inhomogeneous incompressible Euler equations including their local energy inequality as a differential inclusion. Providing a corresponding convex integration theorem and constructing subsolutions, we show the existence of…
In this article we consider the inhomogeneous incompressible Euler equations describing two fluids with different constant densities under the influence of gravity as a differential inclusion. By considering the relaxation of the…
We present two main results. The first is a plausible validation argument for the principle of a maximal rate of entropy production for Euler equation turbulence. This principle can be seen as an extension of the second law of…
To circumvent the ill-posedness issues present in various models of continuum fluid mechanics, we present a dynamical systems approach aiming at selection of physically relevant solutions. Even under the presence of infinitely many…
Turbulence may appear as a complex process with a multitude of scales and flow patterns, but still obeys simple physical principles such as the conservation of momentum, of energy, and the maximum entropy principle. The latter states that…
We propose a new two-step selection criterion applicable to the dissipative measure--valued solutions of the Euler system of gas dynamics. The process consists of a successive maximisation of the entropy production rate and the total energy…
Direct numerical simulations of turbulent flow in a channel with one rigid and one viscoelastic wall are performed. An Eulerian-Eulerian model is adopted with a level-set approach to identify the fluid-compliant material interface. Focus is…
We consider the evolution of two incompressible fluids with homogeneous densities $\rho_-<\rho_+$ subject to gravity described by the inviscid Boussinesq equations and provide the explicit relaxation of the associated differential…
There are two components in this work that allow solutions of the turbulent channel problem: one is the Galilean-transformed Navier-Stokes equation which gives a theoretical expression for the Reynolds stress; and the second the maximum…
Numerical simulation of compressible fluid flows is performed using the Euler equations. They include the scalar advection equation for the density, the vector advection equation for the velocity and a given pressure dependence on the…
It has been recently demonstrated, [3], that according to the principle of release of constraints, absence of shear stresses in the Euler equations must be compensated by additional degrees of freedom, and that led to a Reynolds-type…
Three-dimensional miscible Rayleigh--Taylor (RT) turbulence at small Atwood number and at Prandtl number one is investigated by means of high resolution direct numerical simulations of the Boussinesq equations. RT turbulence is a…
We perform direct numerical simulations of three dimensional Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence with a nonuniform singular initial temperature background. In such conditions, the mixing layer evolves under the driving of a varying effective Atwood…
The linked fluid dynamics videos depict Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence when driven by a complex acceleration profile involving two stages of acceleration interspersed with a stage of stabilizing deceleration. Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability…
In this article, I present recent methods for the numerical simulation of fluid dynamics and the associated computational algorithms. The goal of this article is to explain how to model an incompressible fluid, and how to write a computer…
To faithfully simulate ITER and other modern fusion devices, one must resolve electron and ion fluctuation scales in a five-dimensional phase space and time. Simultaneously, one must account for the interaction of this turbulence with the…
The new proposed "energy gradient theory," which physically explains the phenomena of flow instability and turbulent transition in shear flows and has been shown to be valid for parallel flows, is extended to curved flows in this study.…
Smooth solutions of the forced incompressible Euler equations satisfy an energy balance, where the rate-of-change in time of the kinetic energy equals the work done by the force per unit time. Interesting phenomena such as turbulence are…
The dynamics of Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence convection in presence of an alternating, time periodic acceleration is studied by means of extensive direct numerical simulations of the Boussinesq equations. Within this framework, we discover a…
Following the idea that dissipation in turbulence at high Reynolds number is by events singular in space-time and described by solutions of the inviscid Euler equations, we draw the conclusion that in such flows scaling laws should depend…
