We experimentally examine pressure-driven flows of 1%, 3%, and 5% dilute suspensions over and through a porous media model. The flow of non-colloidal, non-Brownian suspensions of rigid and spherical particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid…
Fluid-structure interaction models are used to study how a material interacts with different fluids at different Reynolds numbers. Examining the same model not only for different fluids but also for different solids allows to optimize the…
This paper is on the construction of structure-preserving, online-efficient reduced models for the barotropic Euler equations with a friction term on networks. The nonlinear flow problem finds broad application in the context of gas…
Many biological fluids have polymeric microstructures and display non-Newtonian rheology. We take advantage of such nonlinear fluid behavior and combine it with geometrical symmetry-breaking to design a novel small-scale propeller able to…
We propose an efficient way of solving optimal control problems for rigid-body systems on the basis of inverse dynamics and the multiple-shooting method. We treat all variables, including the state, acceleration, and control input torques,…
Dispersion of low-density rigid particles with complex geometries is ubiquitous in both natural and industrial environments. We show that while explicit methods for coupling the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and Newton's equations…
We consider minimizing high-dimensional smooth nonconvex objectives using only noisy pairwise comparisons. Unlike classical zeroth-order methods limited by the ambient dimension $d$, we propose Noisy-Comparison Random Search (NCRS), a…
We introduce a novel approach to reveal ordering fluctuations in sheared dense suspensions, using line scanning in a combined rheometer and laser scanning confocal microscope. We validate the technique with a moderately dense suspension,…
Nearest neighbor search is a very active field in machine learning for it appears in many application cases, including classification and object retrieval. In its canonical version, the complexity of the search is linear with both the…
In this paper, we propose and analyze some practical Newton methods for electronic structure calculations. We show the convergence and the local quadratic convergence rate for the Newton method when the Newton search directions are…
Particle collisions are the primary mechanism of inter-particle momentum and energy exchange for dense particle-laden flow. Accurate approximation of this collision operator in four-way coupled Euler-Lagrange approaches remains challenging…
Polar sea ice is crucial to Earth's climate system. Its dynamics also affect coastal communities, wildlife, and global shipping. Sea ice is typically modeled as a continuum fluid using a model proposed almost 50 years ago, which is…
We consider a suspension of non-interacting flat elastic particles in a Newtonian fluid. We model a flat shape as three beads, carried along by the flow according to Stokes' law, and connected by nonlinear springs, chosen such that the…
Turbulent suspensions of heavy particles in incompressible flows have gained much attention in recent years. A large amount of work focused on the impact that the inertia and the dissipative dynamics of the particles have on their dynamical…
We study the rheology of confined suspensions of neutrally buoyant rigid monodisperse spheres in plane-Couette flow using Direct Numerical Simulations. We find that if the width of the channel is a (small) integer multiple of the sphere's…
The Riemann problem for first-order hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations is of fundamental importance for both theoretical and numerical purposes. Many approximate solvers have been developed for such systems; exact solution…
In the first part of a series of two papers, we present in considerable detail a collision-driven molecular dynamics algorithm for a system of nonspherical particles, within a parallelepiped simulation domain, under both periodic or…
In this paper, we present a Newton-like method based on model reduction techniques, which can be used in implicit numerical methods for approximating the solution to ordinary differential equations. In each iteration, the Newton-like method…
We present a computational framework for modeling large-scale particle-laden flows in complex domains with the goal of enabling simulations in medical-image derived patient specific geometries. The framework is based on a volume-filtered…
A new class of integro-partial differential equation models is derived for the prediction of granular flow dynamics. These models are obtained using a novel limiting averaging method (inspired by techniques employed in the derivation of…
