From coating flow patterns to porous body wake dynamics via multiscale models

Multiscale phenomena are involved in countless problems in fluid mechanics. Coating flows are known to exhibit a broad variety of patterns, such as wine tears in a glass and dripping of fresh paint applied on a wall. Coating flows are typically modeled und ...

A physics-based model for wind turbine wake expansion in the atmospheric boundary layer

Fernando Porté Agel, Dara Vahidi

Analytical wind turbine wake models are widely used to predict the wake velocity deficit. In these models, the wake growth rate is a key parameter specified mainly with empirical formulations. In this study, a new physics-based model is proposed and valida ...

Effects of the parallel flow shear on the ITG-driven turbulent transport in tokamak plasmas

Yann Camenen, Javier García Hernández, Samuele Mazzi

The impact of the parallel flow shear on the tokamak plasma stability and turbulent transport driven by the ion temperature gradient (ITG) modes is analyzed by means of local gyrokinetic numerical analyses. It is shown that the parallel flow shear increase ...

Coexistence of Active and Hydrodynamic Turbulence in Two-Dimensional Active Nematics

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In active nematic liquid crystals, activity is able to drive chaotic spatiotemporal flows referred to as active turbulence. Active turbulence has been characterized through theoretical and experimental work as a low Reynolds number phenomenon. We show that ...

Growth, timing, & trajectory of vortices behind a rotating plate

Diego Francescangeli

The presence of aerodynamic vortices is widespread in nature. They can be found at small scales near the wing tip of flying insects or at bigger scale in the form of hurricanes, cyclones or even galaxies. They are identified as coherent regions of high vor ...

Three-dimensional in situ imaging of single-grain growth in polycrystalline In2O3:Zr films

Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Michael Elias Stückelberger, Monica Morales Masis

Understanding grain morphology and kinetics of solid-phase crystallization is important for controlling the functional properties of polycrystalline materials. Here, in situ coherent X-ray diffraction imaging and transmission electron microscopy elucidate ...

Interface Tracking Investigation of the Sliding Bubbles Effects on Heat Transfer in the Laminar Regime

Konstantin Mikityuk, Lubomír Bures

Helium gases are utilized to remove fission products from the molten salt fast reactor (MSFR) core during operation. Helium gases and other volatile fission products may be introduced into the intermediate heat exchanger channels. The effect of these gases ...

Inhibited vertical mixing and seasonal persistence of a thin cyanobacterial layer in a stratified lake

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Bieito Fernandez Castro, Oscar Rodrigo Sepúlveda Steiner

Harmful blooms of the filamentous cyanobacteria Planktothrix rubescens have become common in many lakes as they have recovered from eutrophication over the last decades. These cyanobacteria, capable of regulating their vertical position, often flourish at ...
