The primary bifurcation of the flow past three-dimensional axisymmetric bodies is investigated. We show that the azimuthal vorticity generated at the body surface is at the root of the instability, and that the mechanism proposed by Magnaudet & Mougin (200 ...
Sound attenuation along a waveguide is a highly demanded research field, for applications ranging from heating and air-conditioning ventilation systems, to aircraft turbofan engines. Electroacoustic devices and digital control have provided the tools for c ...
Proper positioning of ride-sourcing drivers may improve vacant travel times, waiting times, and matching opportunities. Herein, we evaluate the potential repositioning response of drivers when provided guidance based on estimates of their earnings in a sys ...
We study the role of hydrodynamic instabilities in the morphogenesis of some typical karst draperies structures encountered in limestone caves. The problem is tackled using the long wave approximation for the fluid film that flows under an inclined substra ...
