In the present study, numerical investigations were performed with optimisation to determine efficient non-uniform suction profiles to control the flow around a circular cylinder in the range of Reynolds numbers 4<Re<188.5. Several…
We present a finite element formulation for incompressible viscous flow based on the principle of minimum pressure gradient (PMPG). This variational principle, recently established by Taha, Gonzalez & Shorbagy (Phys. Fluids, vol. 35, 2023),…
The flow past a fixed finite-length circular cylinder, the axis of which makes a nonzero angle with the incoming stream, is studied through fully-resolved simulations, from creeping-flow conditions to strongly inertial regimes. The…
We present a computational investigation of the mechanism governing size-based particle separation in microfluidic pinched flow fractionation. We study the behavior of particles moving through a pinching gap (i.e., a constriction in the…
In this paper, we discover the fundamental quantity that Nature minimizes in almost all flows encountered in everyday life: river, rain, flow in a pipe, blood flow, airflow over an airplane, etc. We show that the norm of the pressure…
Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is often employed in developing reduced-order models (ROM) in fluid flows for design, control, and optimization. Contrary to the usual practice where velocity field is the focus, we apply the POD…
The minimum-dissipation model is applied to turbulent channel flows up to $Re_\tau = 2000$, flow past a circular cylinder at $Re=3900$, and flow over periodic hills at $Re=10595$. Numerical simulations are performed in OpenFOAM which is…
In many engineering systems operating with a working fluid, the best efficiency is reached close to a condition of flow separation, which makes its prediction very crucial in industry. Providing that wall-based quantities can be measured,…
In this paper, we establish a two-way equivalence between the incompressible Navier- Stokes equation (INSE) and the principle of minimum pressure gradient (PMPG). We prove that a candidate smooth flow field is a solution of the INSE if and…
The steady, asymmetric and two-dimensional flow of viscous, incompressible micropolar fluid through a rectangular channel with a splitter (parallel to walls) was formulated and simulated numerically. The plane Poiseuille flow was considered…
We investigate the motion of a suspended non-Brownian sphere past a fixed cylindrical or spherical obstacle in the limit of zero Reynolds number for arbitrary particle-obstacle aspect ratios. We consider both a suspended sphere moving in a…
This paper proposes the first free-stream boundary condition in a purely Lagrangian framework for weakly-compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH). The boundary condition is implemented based on several numerical techniques,…
The dynamics of a hollow cylinder containing granules and rolling down an inclined plane was investigated. A theoretical approach for investigating the behaviour of such a cylinder was proposed. The critical angle of the plane that allows…
An overset grid method was used to investigate the interaction between a particle-laden flow and a circular cylinder. The overset grid method was implemented in the Pencil Code , a high-order finite-difference code for compressible flow…
A new analytical criterion that captures the onset of separation of flow past elliptic cylinders is derived by considering the variation of the wall normal velocity in Reynolds number parameter space. It is shown that this criterion can be…
Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) has been extensively studied in computer graphics to animate fluids with versatile effects. However, SPH still suffers from two numerical difficulties: the particle deficiency problem, which will…
The steady, asymmetric and two-dimensional flow of viscous, incompressible, and Newtonian fluid through a rectangular channel with splitter plate parallel to walls is investigated numerically. In the past, the position of the splitter plate…
Granular materials often segregate under mechanical agitation, which differs from the expectation of mixing. It is well known that a bidisperse mixture of granular materials in a partially filled rotating cylinder exhibits alternating bands…
Phase separation is a fairly common physical phenomenon with examples including the formation of water droplets from humid air (fog, rain), the separation of a crystalline structure from an isotropic material such as a liquid or even the…
Using discrete element methods, we study numerically the dynamics of the size segregation process of binary particle mixtures in three-dimensional rotating drums, operated in the continuous flow regime. Particle rotations are included and…
