The stationary Navier--Stokes--Cahn--Hilliard equations are considered, governing the motion of a compressible, two-phase fluid mixture with a diffuse interface. The free energy density in this paper has a singular logarithmic…

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…

Numerical calculations of vortex flows in Taylor-Couette systems with counter rotating cylinders are presented. The full, time dependent Navier-Stokes equations are solved with a combination of a finite difference and a Galerkin method.…

The paper considers a system of equations that models a lateral flow of a Boussinesq--Scriven fluid on a passively evolving surface embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$. For the resulting Navier-Stokes type system, posed on a smooth closed…

Two-dimensional turbulence with linear (Ekman) friction exhibits spectral properties that deviate from the classical Kraichnan prediction for the direct enstrophy cascade. In particular, for sufficiently small viscosity and large friction,…

We consider laminar flow in channels constrained geometrically to remain between two parallel planes; this geometry is typical of microchannels obtained with a single step by current microfabrication techniques. For pressure-driven Stokes…

The distribution of particle accelerations in turbulence is intermittent, with non-Gaussian tails that are quite different for light and heavy particles. In this article we analyse a closure scheme for the acceleration fluctuations of light…

We examine the process of particle capture by large deformable drops in turbulent channel flow. We simulate the solid-liquid-liquid three-phase flow with an Eulerian-Lagrangian method based on Direct Numerical Simulation of turbulence…

We report on two- and three-dimensional numerical simulations of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities in immiscible fluids. A diffuse-interface model that combines the Cahn-Hilliard equation, governing the evolution of the volume fraction of one…

In this paper, we study the long-time behavior of solutions to the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in the presence of Couette flow on the half plane with Navier-slip boundary conditions. We prove that the total vorticity will…

Coherent structures in two-dimensional Navier-Stokes turbulence are ubiquitously observed in nature, experiments and numerical simulations. The present study conducts a comparison between several structure detection schemes based on the…

Three dimensional unsteady flow of fluids in the Lagrangian description is considered as an autonomous dynamical system in four dimensions. The condition for the existence of a symplectic structure on the extended space is the frozen field…

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…

We investigate a complex system involving multiple shapes to be optimized in a domain, taking into account geometric constraints on the shapes and uncertainty appearing in the physics. We connect the differential geometry of product shape…

Plane Couette flow at Re=1200 (based on the channel half-height and half the velocity difference between the top and bottom plates) is investigated with a spatial domain designed to retain only two spanwise integral length scales. In this…

A model of fully developed turbulence of a compressible fluid is briefly reviewed. It is assumed that fluid dynamics is governed by a stochastic version of Navier-Stokes equation. We show how corresponding field theoretic-model can be…

We consider the compressible Kraichnan model of turbulent advection with small molecular diffusivity and velocity field regularized at short scales to mimic the effects of viscosity. As noted in ref.[5], removing those two regularizations…

New aspects of turbulence are uncovered if one considers flow motion from the perspective of a fluid particle (known as the Lagrangian approach) rather than in terms of a velocity field (the Eulerian viewpoint). Using a new experimental…

Taylor-Couette flow is often used as a simplified model for complex rotating flows in the interior of stars and accretion disks. The flow dynamics in these objects is influenced by magnetic fields. For example, quasi-Keplerian flows in…

The 3D spatially periodic Navier-Stokes equation is posed as a nonlinear matrix differential equation. When the flow is assumed to be a time series having unknown wavenumber coefficients, then the matrix in this periodic Navier-Stokes…
