We report and analyze the results of numerical studies of dense granular flows in two and three dimensions, using both linear damped springs and Hertzian force laws between particles. Chute flow generically produces a constant density…
State-of-the-art hydrodynamical simulations show that gas inflow through the virial sphere of dark matter halos is focused (i.e. has a preferred inflow direction), consistent (i.e. its orientation is steady in time) and amplified (i.e. 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…
Using a minimal continuum model, we investigate the interplay between circular confinement and substrate friction in active nematics. Upon increasing the friction from low to high, we observe a dynamical phase transition from a circulating…
The acoustofluidic method holds great promise for manipulating microorganisms. When exposed to the steady vortex structures of acoustic streaming flow, these microorganisms exhibit intriguing dynamic behaviors, such as hydrodynamic trapping…
The effective theory of rotating pion superfluid in the presence of topological defects will be considered. We study the anomaly induced effects and the interplay between domain-wall and superfluid vortex under rotation. A non-uniform…
The flow of an electrically conducting fluid driven by a traveling magnetic field imposed at the endcaps of a cylindrical annulus is numerically studied. At sufficiently large magnetic Reynolds number, the system undergoes a transition from…
Active agents can transfer energy to their environment through collective motion, generating accumulation patterns near confining obstacles. Here we investigate how the nature of the microscopic drive-self-propulsion or velocity…
We perform real-space imaging of propagating magnetic domains in the fractional quantum Hall system using spin-sensitive photoluminescence microscopy. The propagation is continuous and proceeds in the direction of the conventional current,…
In this letter we show that there emerges a gauge field for two attractive particles moving on a curved surface when they form a chiral bound state. By solving a two-body problem on a sphere, we show explicitly that the center-of-mass wave…
We report the emergence of large zigzag bands in a population of reversibly actuated magnetic rotors that behave as active shakers, namely squirmers that shake the fluid around them without moving. The shakers collectively organize into…
Self-propelled particles move along circles rather than along a straight line when their driving force does not coincide with their propagation direction. Examples include confined bacteria and spermatozoa, catalytically driven nanorods,…
Several types of active agents self-propel by spinning around their propulsion axis, thus behaving as active screws. Examples include cytoskeletal filaments in gliding assays, magnetically-driven colloidal helices, and microorganisms like…
In the present paper, we examine the viscous flow evolution in a square cavity. Coupled with the stream function, the initial-boundary value problem of the vorticity is numerically solved by a method of iteration. The only boundary…
We investigate the interplay between chirality and confinement induced by the presence of an external potential. For potentials having radial symmetry, the circular character of the trajectories induced by the chiral motion reduces the…
Binary systems with comparable masses and a surrounding accretion disk can accrete gas through spiral accretion streams penetrating the central cavity formed by tidal interactions. Using three-dimensional Newtonian magnetohydrodynamics…
We investigate experimentally granular piles exhibiting steady surface flow. Below the surface flow, it has been believed exisitence of a `frozen' bulk region, but our results show absence of such a frozen bulk. We report here that even the…
Motility induced phase separation is an efficient aggregation mechanism of active matter, yet biological systems exhibit richer organization through communication among constituents. We investigate suspensions of active particles that…
We study the formation of caustics in vortex-dominated \flows. We \find that only particles starting within a critical distance of a vortex which scales as the square roots of the particle inertia and the circulation can form sling…
We investigate the effect of cooperative interactions in an ensemble of microorganisms, modelled as self-propelled disk-like and rod-like particles, in a three-dimensional turbulent flow to show flocking as an emergent phenomenon. Building…
