The static Casimir effect describes an attractive force between two conducting plates, due to quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic (EM) field in the intervening space. {\it Thermal fluctuations} of correlated fluids (such as critical…
Nonlinear dynamics of fluid conveying pipe, rotating with constant velocity about its longitudinal axis is analyzed. Considering boundary conditions and internal damping, the nonlinear equation of motion is derived, and it is discretized…
A light-weight "inflatable" tensioned-membrane-structure vacuum container is proposed and its stability is analyzed. The proposed structure consists of a pressurized lobed cylindrical "wall" surrounding a central evacuated space. Stability…
In this endeavor, the transients persisting in a vacuum ejector system (put reference of my old paper) is studied by numerically simulating the flow field, and experimentally validating the simulated results. An inertial effect was…
We study the buckling of a clamped beam immersed in a creeping flow within a rectangular channel. Via a combination of precision experiments, simulations, and theoretical modeling, we show how the instability depends on a pressure feedback…
Liquid bridges form between particles during wet mixing with binders or by condensation due to ambient humidity. The consequences of capillary bridges can be quite drastic, creating macroscopic cohesion, as seen in sandcastles and in the…
Modeling of wall-bounded turbulent flows is still an open problem in classical physics, with only modest progress made in the last few decades beyond the so-called `log law', which describes only the intermediate region in wall-bounded…
We study, via extensive numerical simulations, the force-velocity curve of an active particle advected by a steady laminar flow, in the nonlinear response regime. Our model for an active particle relies on a colored noise term that mimics…
This paper investigates the lift force exerted on an elliptical obstacle immersed in a granular flow through analytical calculations and computer simulations. The results are shown as a function of the obstacle size, orientation with…
We present a novel framework for rigid body dynamics in ambient media, such as air or water, enabling accurate motion prediction of objects without requiring computational fluid dynamics simulations. Our method computes the added mass of…
We investigate the morphology and mechanics of a naturally curved elastic arch loaded at its center and frictionally supported at both ends on a flat, rigid substrate. Through systematic numerical simulations, we classify the observed…
The present research is a theoretical study about the transient friction created in circular pipe mean flow, whenever an incompressible Newtonian fluid is accelerated through a monotonously-increased mean-pressure gradient. The resulting…
Structured on the paradigmatic Navier-Stokes flow model, we study a stochastically forced Taylor-Couette system in the narrow gap limit, in order to analyze the simultaneous impact of a non-conserved (Gaussian) force and a nonlinear…
Our ability to numerically model and understand the complex flow behavior of solid-bearing suspensions has increased significantly over the last couple of years, partly due to direct numerical simulations that compute flow around individual…
The rheology of 2D steady surface flow of cohesionless cylinders in a rotating drum is investigated through {\em Non Smooth Contact Dynamics} simulations. Profile of volume fraction, translational and angular velocity, rms velocity, strain…
Friction is one of the fundamental issues in physics, mechanics and material science with lots of practical applications. However, the understanding of macroscopic friction phenomena from microscopic aspect is still on the way. In this…
The dynamics of particles in turbulence when the particle-size is larger than the dissipative scale of the carrier flow is studied. Recent experiments have highlighted signatures of particles finiteness on their statistical properties,…
The stability of two-dimensional diverging and converging flows in an annulus between two permeable cylinders is examined. The basic flow is irrotational and has both the radial and azimuthal components. It is shown that for a wide range of…
In this article we present an analytical method for deriving the relationship between the pressure drop and flow rate in laminar flow regimes, and apply it to the flow of power-law fluids through axially-symmetric corrugated tubes. The…
The transition from a flowing to a static state in a granular material is studied using large-scale, 3D particle simulations. Similar to glasses, this transition is manifested in the development of a plateau in the contact normal force…
