We present hydrodynamic and magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of a liquid sodium flow using the compressible MHD code PLUTO to investigate the magnetic field regeneration in the Von-Karman-Sodium dynamo experiment. The aim of the study is to…
The current study presents a systematic investigation of the locomotion performance of a swimmer with a wide range of parameter settings. Two-dimensional simulations with the immersed boundary method are employed for the fluid-structure…
The deformation of brittle material is primarily accompanied by micro-cracking and faulting. However, it has often been found that continuum fluid models, usually based on a non-Newtonian viscosity, are applicable. To explain this rheology,…
This study investigates the influence of shear-thinning on the instability of a prototype time-periodic flow, the Stokes layer, in Carreau fluids. The time-dependent base flow was solved using a numerical method and a binomial expansion…
Thixotropy, anti-thixotropy, and viscoelasticity are three types of time-dependent dynamics that involve fundamentally different underlying physical processes. Yet distinguishing them can be very challenging, which hinders the understanding…
This study presents a detailed investigation of how the rheological behaviour of fluid could influence the electrokinetic instability (EKI) phenomenon in a microfluidic T-junction. The non-Newtonian power-law model with different values of…
In this work, we study the deformation behavior of thin films of various soft glassy materials that are simultaneously subjected to two creep flow fields, rotational shear flow by applying torque and elongational flow by applying normal…
We extend our recent work on the creeping flow of a Bingham fluid in a lid-driven cavity, to the study of inertial effects, using a finite volume method and the Papanastasiou regularisation of the Bingham constitutive model [J. Rheology 31…
We propose a novel three-way coupling method to model the contact interaction between solid and fluid driven by strong surface tension. At the heart of our physical model is a thin liquid membrane that simultaneously couples to both the…
We study the Rolie-Poly model for entangled polymers, using a singular perturbation analysis for the limit of large relaxation time. In this limit, it is shown that the model displays the characteristic features of thixotropic yield stress…
The Plateau-Rayleigh instability causes the fragmentation of a liquid ligament into smaller droplets. In this study a numerical study of this phenomenon based on a single relaxation time (SRT) pseudo-potential lattice Boltzmann method (LBM)…
The interface behaviour between steel and concrete, during pull-out tests, is numerically investigated using an interface model coupling adhesion and Coulomb friction. This model, first developed by Raous, Cang\'emi, Cocou and Monerie…
We study the finite-shear-rate rheology of disordered solids by means of molecular dynamics simulations in two dimensions. By systematically varying the damping magnitude $\zeta$ in the low-temperature limit, we identify two well defined…
We use a differential constitutive equation to model the flow of a viscoelastic flow in a cross-slot geometry, which is known to exhibit bistability above a critical flow rate. The novelty lies in two asymmetric modifications to the…
Microfluidic systems are usually fabricated with soft materials that deform due to the fluid stresses. Recent experimental and theoretical studies on the steady flow in shallow deformable microchannels have shown that the flow rate is a…
This study proposes a novel topology optimization method for unsteady fluid flows induced by actively moving rigid bodies. The key idea of the proposed method is to decouple the design and analysis domains by using separate grids. The…
Using curvature and torsion to describe Lagrangian trajectories gives a full description of these as well as an insight into small and large time scales as temporal derivatives up to order 3 are involved. One might expect that the…
We study the flow of a shear-thinning, chemically-reacting fluid that could be used to model the flow of the synovial fluid. The actual geometry where the flow of the synovial fluid takes place is very complicated, and therefore the…
We show that besides simple or thixotropic yield stress fluids there exists a third class of yield stress fluids. This is illustrated through the rheological behavior of a carbon black suspension, which is shown to exhibit a viscosity…
We study the transient start-up dynamics of a fluidity model which captures the rheological behavior of aging soft glassy materials, in a rectilinear shear flow upon application of step shear rate. We observe that when the steady state flow…
