In many physical situations involving diverse length scales, waves or rays representing them travel through media characterized by spatially smooth, random, modest refactive index variations. "Primary" diffraction (by individual…
The spontaneous symmetry breaking in a vibro-fluidized low-density granular gas in three connected compartments is investigated. When the total number of particles in the system becomes large enough, particles distribute themselves…
We introduce and study the flow of metrics on a foliated Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, whose velocity along the orthogonal distribution is proportional to the mixed scalar curvature, $\Sc_{\,\rm mix}$. The flow is used to examine the…
We study the estimation of flows on trees, a structured generalization of isotonic regression. A tree flow is defined recursively as a positive flow value into a node that is partitioned into an outgoing flow to the children nodes, with…
We study the fundamental question of how likely it is that two randomly chosen trees are isomorphic to each other for different models of random trees. We show that the probability decays exponentially for rooted labeled trees as well as…
This study presents particle-resolved direct numerical simulations using three-dimensional body-fitted hexahedral meshes to investigate the aerodynamic force and torque coefficients of non-spherical particles in compressible flows. The…
A planar two-dimensional computational analysis is presented to qualify traditional and fractal vane-in-cup geometries for accurate rheometry of simple viscoplastic fluids with and without slip. Numerical simulations based on an adaptive…
Using well-known results from statistical physics, concerning the almost-sure behavior of the free energy of directed polymers in a random medium, we prove that random tree codes achieve the distortion-rate function almost surely under a…
We investigate flows on graphs whose links have random capacities. For binary trees we derive the probability distribution for the maximal flow from the root to a leaf, and show that for infinite trees it vanishes beyond a certain threshold…
A numerical study of laminar flow through symmetric and slightly asymmetric sudden expansion, of expansion ratio 1:3, in channels with increasing cross section, is carried out using two different approaches - Conventional CFD and Lattice…
We investigate viscous and non-viscous flow in two-dimensional self-affine fracture joints through direct numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations. As a novel hydrodynamic feature of this flow system, we find that the effective…
In this work we numerically investigate the flow conditions inside uniform and non-uniform street canyons well within the atmospheric boundary layer. The numerical simulations use the steady RANS method with the near-wall modelling approach…
Propagation of elastic waves along the axis of cylindrical shells is of great current interest due to their ubiquitous presence and technological importance. Geometric imperfections and spatial variations of properties are inevitable in…
This paper presents novel correlations to predict the drag, lift, and torque coefficients of axi-symmetric non-spherical rod-like particles in a wall-bounded linear shear flow. The particle position and orientation relative to the wall are…
Urban wind flow modeling and simulation play an important role in air quality assessment and sustainable city planning. A key challenge for modeling and simulation is handling the complex geometries of the urban landscape. Low order models…
In this article we study the topological structure of the lifts to the universal of the stable and unstable foliations of $3$-dimensional Anosov flows. In particular we consider the case when these foliations do not have Hausdorff leaf…
We carry out Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of flows in closed rectangular ducts with several aspect ratios. The Navier-Stokes equations are discretized through a second-order finite difference scheme, with non-uniform grids in two…
Particles moving along curved trajectories will diffuse if the curvature fluctuates sufficiently in either magnitude or orientation. We consider particles moving at a constant speed with either a fixed or with a Gaussian distributed…
In this paper, we study nonlinear stability of the 3D plane Couette flow $(y,0,0)$ at high Reynolds number ${Re}$ in a finite channel $\mathbb{T}\times [-1,1]\times \mathbb{T}$. It is well known that the plane Couette flow is linearly…
We consider a model of random tree growth, where at each time unit a new vertex is added and attached to an already existing vertex chosen at random. The probability with which a vertex with degree $k$ is chosen is proportional to $w(k)$,…
