Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities (RTI) play an important role in the evolution of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) processes, while analytical prediction of the RTI growth rate often fails to reach an agreement with the experimental and…
In this paper we estimate the relative strengths of various terms of the Rayleigh-B\'enard equations. Based on these estimates and scaling analysis, we derive a general formula for the large-scale velocity, $U$, or the P\'eclet number that…
Experiments have shown that flow in compliant microchannels can become unstable at a much lower Reynolds number than the corresponding flow in a rigid conduit. Therefore, it has been suggested that the wall's elastic compliance can be…
Intermittency, measured as log(F(r)/3), where F(r) is the flatness of velocity increments at scale r, is found to rapidly increase as viscous effects intensify, and eventually saturate at very small scales. This feature defines a finite…
We demonstrate experimentally that a Brownian particle is subject to inertial effects at long time scales. By using a blinking optical tweezers, we extend the range of previous experiments by several orders of magnitude up to a few seconds.…
The effect of strong anisotropy on the Fermi line of a system of correlated electrons is studied in two space dimensions, using renormalization group techniques. Inflection points change the scaling exponents of the couplings, enhancing the…
The dynamics of $A + B \rightarrow C$ fronts is analyzed numerically in a radial geometry. We are interested to understand miscible fingering instabilities when the simple chemical reaction changes the viscosity of the fluid locally and a…
Viscous flows in a quasi-two-dimensional Hele-Shaw geometry can lead to an interfacial instability when one fluid, of viscosity $\eta_{in}$ displaces another of higher viscosity, $\eta_{out}$. Recent studies have shown that there is a delay…
Beneitez et al. (Phys. Rev. Fluids, 8, L101901, 2023) have recently discovered a new linear "polymer diffusive instability" (PDI) in inertialess rectilinear viscoelastic shear flow using the FENE-P model when polymer stress diffusion is…
A rest fluid displaced by a less viscous fluid in a porous medium triggers the so-called Saffman-Taylor instability at their contact front and hence forms complicated finger-like patterns. When the two fluids are miscible, the surface…
An instability may arise when a hot viscous fluid enters a thin gap and cools through heat transfer to a colder surrounding environment. Fluids whose viscosity increases strongly upon cooling create a positive feedback in which warmer…
We present accurate simulations of the dynamical bar-mode instability in full General Relativity focussing on two aspects which have not been investigated in detail in the past. Namely, on the persistence of the bar deformation once the…
A comprehensive study of the effect of wall heating or cooling on the linear, transient and secondary growth of instability in channel flow is conducted. The effect of viscosity stratification, heat diffusivity and of buoyancy are estimated…
The interaction between deformable surfaces and oscillatory driving is known to yield complex secondary time-averaged flows due to inertial and elastic nonlinearities. Here, we revisit the problem of oscillatory flow in a cylindrical tube…
We investigate through numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations the influence of the surface roughness on the fluid flow through fracture joints. Using the Hurst exponent $H$ to characterize the roughness of the self-affine…
The effect of uniform magnetic field applied along a fixed horizontal direction in Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in low-Prandtl-number fluids has been studied using a low dimensional model. The model shows the onset of convection (primary…
In this paper, the interfacial motion between two immiscible viscous fluids in the confined geometry of a Hele-Shaw cell is studied. We consider the influence of a thin wetting film trailing behind the displaced fluid, which dynamically…
We present simulations of a circular cylinder undergoing vortex-induced vibration in-line with a free stream in conjunction with a theory for the fluid dynamics. Initially, it is shown that increasing the Reynolds number from 100 to 250…
Symmetric binary fluids, quenched into a regime of immiscibility, undergo phase separation by spinodal decomposition. In the late stages, the fluids are separated by sharply defined, but curved, interfaces: the resulting Laplace pressure…
Although the stability properties of the wake past impervious bluff bodies have been widely examined in the literature, similar analyses regarding the flow around and through porous ones are still lacking. In this work, the effect of the…
