The recent advent of advanced microfabrication capabilities of microfluidic devices has driven attention towards the behavior of particles in inertial flows within microchannels for applications related to the separation and concentration…
In the boundary layer of multicomponent fluid mixtures, the species-specific mass flux in the wall-normal direction is determined by the combination of turbulent-diffusiophoretic diffusion due to composition gradients, and diffusion due to…
We use numerical simulations to examine two-dimensional particle mixtures that strongly phase separate in equilibrium. When the system is externally driven in the presence of quenched disorder, plastic flow occurs in the form of meandering…
Diffusion-driven flow is a boundary layer flow arising from the interplay of gravity and diffusion in density-stratified fluids when a gravitational field is non-parallel to an impermeable solid boundary. This study investigates…
We study the time-dependent flow behavior of gravity-driven free surface granular flows using the discrete element method and continuum modeling. Discrete element method (DEM) simulations of slightly polydisperse disks flowing over a…
The dynamics of phase separation for a binary fluid subjected to a uniform shear are solved exactly for a model in which the order parameter is generalized to an n-component vector and the large-n limit taken. Characteristic length scales…
The rheology of dense granular shear flows is influenced by friction and particle shape. We investigate numerically the impact of non-spherical particle geometries under shear on packing fraction, stress ratios, velocity fluctuations, force…
In this paper, we are interested in an efficient numerical method for the mixed-dimensional approach to modeling single-phase flow in fractured porous media. The model introduces fractures and their intersections as lower-dimensional…
Controllable layout generation aims at synthesizing plausible arrangement of element bounding boxes with optional constraints, such as type or position of a specific element. In this work, we try to solve a broad range of layout generation…
We use an "equation-free", coarse-grained computational approach to accelerate molecular dynamics-based computations of demixing (segregation) of dissimilar particles subject to an upward gas flow (gas-fluidized beds). We explore the…
Mixing fronts form when fluids with different chemical compositions are brought into contact. They influence a large range of biogeochemical processes in hydrological systems. An important mechanism governing mixing rates in such fronts is…
The shear viscosity in the dilute regime of a model for confined granular matter is studied by simulations and kinetic theory. The model consists on projecting into two dimensions the motion of vibrofluidized granular matter in shallow…
One essential question in material sciences is how to bridge the gap between the microscopic picture and a macroscopic description. The former involves contact forces and deformations, whereas the latter concerns tensorial quantities like…
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the behavior of a compressible Lennard-Jones fluid in simple shear flow in a two-dimensional nanochannel. The system is equilibrated in the fluid phase close to the triple point at which gas,…
An adpative integration technique for time advancement of particle motion in the context of coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) - discrete element method (DEM) simulations is presented in this work. CFD-DEM models provide an accurate…
The dispersion of a diffusive scalar in a fluid flowing through a network has many applications including to biological flows, porous media, water supply and urban pollution. Motivated by this, we develop a large-deviation theory that…
We report on a particle-based numerical study of sheared amorphous solids in the dense slow flow regime. In this framework, deformation and flow are accompanied by critical fluctuation patterns associated with the macroscopic plastic…
The phase-separation process of a binary mixture with order-parameter-dependent mobility under shear flow is numerically studied. The ordering is characterized by an alternate stretching and bursting of domains which produce oscillations in…
In this paper we introduce 1-$D$ and 2-$D$ discrete models for the dynamic granular matter formation process in the form of a system of difference equations. This approach allows us to differentiate between the influx of the rolling layer…
We use a continuous mesoscopic model to address the yielding properties of plastic composites, formed by a host material and inclusions with different elastic and/or plastic properties. We investigate the flow properties of the composed…
