We develop a numerical method for simulating the dynamics of a droplet immersed in a generic time-dependent velocity gradient field. This approach is grounded on the hybrid coupling between the lattice Boltzmann (LB) method, employed for…
Recently, there has been much progress in the design and application of oil-repellent superoleophobic surfaces. Polyzwitterionic brush surfaces are of particular interest, because of their ability to repel oil under water, even in the…
The use of machine learning algorithms to predict behaviors of complex systems is booming. However, the key to an effective use of machine learning tools in multi-physics problems, including combustion, is to couple them to physical and…
In this paper, we consider the quasi-gas-dynamic (QGD) model in a multiscale environment. The model equations can be regarded as a hyperbolic regularization and are derived from kinetic equations. So far, the research on QGD models has been…
We use colloidal suspensions encapsulated in emulsion droplets to model confined glass-forming liquids with tunable boundary mobility. We show dynamics in these idealized systems are governed by physical interactions with the boundary.…
The aim of this study is to present a reliable combination of the differential transformation method (DTM) and Pad\'e approximants to make, for the first time, a semi-analytic analysis of the problem of free convection boundary-layer flow…
This paper is devoted to the asymptotic analysis of strongly rotating and stratified fluids, under a $\beta$-plane approximation, and within a three-dimensional spatial domain with strong topography. Our purpose is to propose a linear…
We briefly review recent advances in the hydrodynamic modeling of the dynamics of droplets on adaptive substrates, in particular, solids that are covered by polymer brushes. Thereby, the focus are long-wave and full-curvature variants of…
We present our ongoing work aimed at accelerating a particle-resolved direct numerical simulation model designed to study aerosol-cloud-turbulence interactions. The dynamical model consists of two main components - a set of fluid dynamics…
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…
A numerical method based upon the immersed boundary technique for the fluid-solid coupling and on a soft-sphere approach for solid-solid contact is used to perform direct numerical simulation of the flow-induced motion of a thick bed of…
This article presents a multi-physics methodology for the numerical simulation of physical systems that involve the non-linear interaction of multi-phase reactive fluids and elastoplastic solids, inducing high strain-rates and high…
The dynamics of thin, non-circular droplets evaporating in the diffusion-limited regime are examined. The challenging non-rectilinear mixed-boundary problem this poses is solved using a novel asymptotic approach and an asymptotic expansion…
We investigate the controlled K-type breakdown of a flat-plate boundary-layer with highly non-ideal supercritical fluid at a reduced pressure of $p_{r,\infty}=1.10$. Direct numerical simulations are performed at a Mach number of…

The rheology of pressure-driven flows of two-dimensional dense monodisperse emulsions in neutral wetting microchannels is investigated by means of mesoscopic lattice simulations, capable of handling large collections of droplets, in the…
In this paper we study a moving free boundary problem related to the the cavitation modeling in lubricated devices. More precisely, a characteristics method combined with a weak formulation in a mixed form is introduced for the Elrod-Adams…
We study the rebound of drops impacting non-wetting substrates at low Weber number $We$ through experiment, direct numerical simulation, and reduced-order modeling. Submillimeter-sized drops are normally impacted onto glass slides coated…
We construct a mathematical model for a diffusiophoretic motion of a deformable droplet, which is floating on a liquid surface and is driven by the surface tension gradient originating from the surface concentration field of the chemicals…
We have designed 3D numerical simulations of a soft spheres model, with size polidispersity and in athermal conditions, to study the transient shear banding that occurs during yielding of jammed soft solids. We analyze the effects of…
