Bubble columns are present in several applications, such as chemical and biochemical reactors and petrochemical and environmental engineering industries. This variety of applications is why understanding the bubble columns' dynamics is…
Direct numerical simulations of turbulent suspension flows are carried out with the Force-Coupling Method in plane Couette and pressure-driven channel configurations. Dilute to moderately concentrated suspensions of neutrally buoyant…
Partially saturated granular flows are common in various natural and industrial processes, such as landslides, mineral handling, and food processing. We conduct experiments and apply the Discrete Element Method (DEM) to study granular flows…
Flows of particles through bottlenecks are ubiquitous in nature and industry, involving both dry granular materials and suspensions. However, practical limitations of conventional experimental setups hinder the full understanding of these…
In the problem of planetary formation one seeks a mechanism to gather small solid particles together into larger accumulations of solid matter. Here we describe a scenario in which turbulence mediates this process by aggregating particles…
We study suspensions of oblate rigid particles in a viscous fluid for different values of the particle volume fractions. Direct numerical simulations have been performed using a direct-forcing immersed boundary method to account for the…
When turbulent convection interacts with a turbulent shear flow, the cores of convective cells become aligned with the mean current, and these cells (which span the height of the domain) may interact with motions closer to the solid…
Dust particles are the building blocks from which planetary bodies are made. A major goal of the studies of planet-forming disks is to constrain the properties of dust particles and aggregates in order to trace their origin, structure, and…
Using smoothed particle hydrodynamics in combination with the special-purpose hardware device GRAPE, we follow the fragmentation process and dynamical evolution in the interior of molecular clouds until most of the gas is converted to form…
We present high resolution ($1024^3$) simulations of super-/hyper-sonic isothermal hydrodynamic turbulence inside an interstellar molecular cloud (resolving scales of typically 20 -- 100 AU), including a multi-disperse population of dust…
Particle-based boundary representations are frequently used in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) due to their simple integration into fluid solvers. Commonly, incompressible fluid solvers estimate the current density and corresponding…
Convection is one of the most important mixing processes in stellar interiors. Hydrodynamic mass entrainment can bring fresh fuel from neighboring stable layers into a convection zone, modifying the structure and evolution of the star.…
Many questions in physical cosmology regarding the thermal history of the intergalactic medium, chemical enrichment, reionization, etc. are thought to be intimately related to the nature and evolution of pregalactic structure. In particular…
Bubble-particle collisions in turbulence are key to the froth flotation process that is widely employed industrially to separate hydrophobic from hydrophilic materials. In our previous study (Chan et al., J. Fluid Mech., vol. 959, 2023,…
Hypothesis: Immiscible liquids are commonly used to achieve unique functions in many applications, where the breakup of compound droplets in airflow is an important process. Due to the existence of the liquid-liquid interface, compound…
Fluctuating hydrodynamics based techniques have been developed in recent years for the simulation of Brownian motion of particles. These mesoscale simulation tools are viable approaches for problems where molecular dynamics simulations may…
Direct numerical simulation is used to investigate effects of turbulent flow in the confined geometry of a face-centered cubic porous unit cell on the transport, clustering, and deposition of fine particles at different Stokes numbers ($St…
A poromechanical model of partially saturated deformable porous media is proposed based on a phase field approach at modeling the behavior of the mixture of liquid water and wet air, which saturates the pore space, the phase field being the…
This paper presents a model to simulate behavior of particle-laden slurry in a horizontal perforated wellbore with the goal of quantifying fluid and particle distribution between the perforations. There are two primary phenomena that…
Classical density functional theory (DFT) is a statistical mechanical theory for calculating the density profiles of the molecules in a liquid. It is widely used, for example. to calculate the density distribution of the molecules in the…
