Investigating cohesive sediment dynamics in open waters via grain-resolved simulations
Flow, 2023 Cohesive particulate flows play an important role in environmental fluid dynamics, as well as in a wide variety of civil and process engineering applications.

Numerical study of the effect of sidewalls on shock train behaviour
Flow, 2023 Strongly coupled sequences of shock waves, known as shock trains, are present in high-speed propulsion systems, where the presence of sidewalls substantially modifies the boundary layer thickness, skin friction and streamwise pressure distribution.

Flow, 2023 Ionic fluids subjected to externally applied electric fields experience Joule heating, which increases with the increased electric field and ionic conductivity of the medium. Temperature gradients induced by Joule heating can create buoyancy-driven flows

Flow, 2023 Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is applied to three-dimensional (3-D) velocity fields collected from large-eddy simulations (LES) of a baffled stirred tank.

Supersymmetry and eigensurface topology of the planar quantum pendulum
Frontiers in Physics, 2014 We make use of supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSY QM) to find three sets of conditions under which the problem of a planar quantum pendulum becomes analytically solvable.

Stability of schooling patterns of a fish pair swimming against a flow
Flow, 2023 Fish often swim in crystallized group formations (schooling) and orient themselves against the incoming flow (rheotaxis). At the intersection of these two phenomena, we investigate the emergence of unique schooling patterns through passive hydrodynamic ...

A critique of Ontological Pluralism: the case for Quantum Mechanics
Revista Colombiana de Filosofía de la Ciencia, 2016 Scientifically speaking, quantum mechanics (QM) is the most successful theory ever made. Philosophically speaking, however, it is the most controversial theory.

Van der Waals interactions: Corrections from radiation in fluids
AIP Advances, 2013 We consider induced van der Waals interactions with corrections due to radiation in fluids consisting of polarizable hard spheres. The fluctuating polarizations are quantized while the positions of particles are treated classically.

Leonhard Euler's “principle of mechanics” (an essay on the foundations of the equations of motion)
Revista Brasileira de Ensino de FísicaLeonhard Euler derived equations of motion for both (in modern terminology) point mass mechanics and analytic mechanics. In order to derive the equations, some dynamic premise has to be introduced; this is the “principle of mechanics”.

Real-space diffusion theory from quantum mechanics using analytic continuation
HeliyonWe show that a physical correspondence between Brownian motion and quantum mechanics can be established by formal analytic continuation if Wick rotation (t→it) is replaced by the mirror symmetric, complex conjugate time transformation t→±it.
