Adaptive drag reduction of a sphere using smart morphable skin
FlowIn this study, a novel smart surface-morphing technique is devised that dynamically optimises roughness parameter on a sphere with varying flow conditions to minimise drag. A comprehensive series of experiments are first performed to systematically study

Leveraging three-dimensionality for navigation in bluff-body wakes
FlowBiological flyers and swimmers navigate in unsteady wake flows using limited sensory abilities and actuation energies. Understanding how vortical structures can be leveraged for energy-efficient navigation in unsteady flows is beneficial in developing ...

Demystifying the discharge coefficient for flow over thin weirs and sills
FlowA revised derivation of the discharge coefficient for flows over thin weirs and sills in the limits of wall overflow to a free overfall is given. Using dimensional analysis, we show that the discharge coefficient, $C_{d}$ , in the classical weir ...

How a table modulates the risk of airborne transmission between facing individuals
FlowAirborne transmission has been recognised as an important route of transmission for SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. While coughing and sneezing are major aerosol sources, asymptomatic transmission highlights the need to study
