Within the domain of molecular communications, researchers mimic the techniques in nature to come up with alternative communication methods for collaborating nanomachines. This work investigates the channel transfer function for molecular…
Passive scalar dynamics in wall-bounded turbulence is studied via Direct Numerical Simulations of plane channel flow, for a friction Reynolds number $Re_* = 160$ and a Schmidt number $Sc=1$. Peculiar to the present research is that the…
Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a high-resolution separation technique used in various fields. A fundamental challenge in DLD is ensuring uniform flow characteristics across channel, particularly near sidewalls where pillar…
Asymptotic multiple scale homogenisation allows to determine the effective behaviour of a porous medium by starting from the pore-scale description, when there is a large separation between the pore-scale and the macroscopic scale. When the…
Active transport such as fluid flow is sought in molecular communication to extend coverage, improve reliability, and mitigate interference. Flow models are often over-simplified, assuming one-dimensional diffusion with constant drift.…
The diffusive transport of biased Brownian particles in a two-dimensional symmetric channel is investigated numerically considering both the no-flow and the reflection boundary conditions at the channel boundaries. Here, the geometrical…
The transport properties on the two-dimensional surface of coupled multilayer heterostructures are studied in the integer quantum Hall states. We emphasize the criticality of the surface state and the phase coherent transport properties in…
Quantum-confined semiconductor structures are the cornerstone of modern-day electronics. Spatial confinement in these structures leads to formation of discrete low-dimensional subbands. At room temperature, carriers transfer among different…
We use existing 3D Discrete Element simulations of simple shear flows of spheres to evaluate the radial distribution function at contact that enables kinetic theory to correctly predict the pressure and the shear stress, for different…
This work presents algebraic closure models associated with advective transport and nonlinear reactions in a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes context for a system of species subject to binary reactions and transport by advection and…
We consider the steady heat transfer between a collection of impermeable obstacles immersed in an incompressible 2D potential flow, when each obstacle has a prescribed boundary temperature distribution. Inside the fluid, the temperature…
Dynamic wetting poses a well-known challenge in classical sharp-interface formulation as the no-slip wall condition leads to a contact line singularity that is typically regularized with a Navier boundary condition, often requiring…
By using Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of bubbly flows with passive scalars, we show a transition in the scalar spectra from a $k^{-5/3}$ to a $k^{-3}$ scaling with the wavenumber $k$, in contrast with those of single-phase isotropic…
The flow of thin liquid films on inclined or vertical surfaces is one of immense importance, with applications spanning many types of process industries, due to the increased mass and heat transfer brought about by the presence of waves on…
Molecular communication (MC), one of the emerging techniques in the field of communication, is entering a new phase following several decades of foundational research. Recently, attention has shifted toward MC in liquid media, particularly…
We study the effect of an externally imposed oscillatory shear on the motion of a grain boundary that separates differently oriented domains of the lamellar phase of a diblock copolymer. A direct numerical solution of the Swift-Hohenberg…
Advection-diffusion equations describe a large family of natural transport processes, e.g., fluid flow, heat transfer, and wind transport. They are also used for optical flow and perfusion imaging computations. We develop a machine learning…
We consider a shear layer of a kind not previously studied to our knowledge. Contrary to the classical free shear layer, the width of the shear zone does not vary in the streamwise direction but rather exhibits a lateral variation. Based on…
In rough-wall boundary layers, wall-parallel non-homogeneous mean-flow solutions exist that lead to so-called dispersive velocity components and dispersive stresses. They play a significant role in the mean-flow momentum balance near the…
This dissertation resolves a longstanding discussion of a mathematical problem important in contaminant hydrogeology and chemical-reaction engineering, the proper mathematical description for a miscible solute undergoing longitudinal…
