Direct numerical simulations of aeolian sand ripples. [PDF]
Significance Wind ripples decorate the flanks of dunes in amazingly regular patterns, on both Earth and Mars. Their emergence at a wavelength much larger than the grain size is currently unexplained. We report direct numerical simulations of grains interacting with a wind flow that are, for the first time to our knowledge, able to reproduce ...

Direct Numerical Simulations of Capillary Wave Turbulence [PDF]
This work presents Direct Numerical Simulations of capillary wave turbulence solving the full 3D Navier Stokes equations of a two-phase flow. When the interface is locally forced at large scales, a statistical stationary state appears after few forcing periods. Smaller wave scales are generated by nonlinear interactions, and the wave height spectrum is

Rethinking materials simulations: Blending direct numerical simulations with neural operators [PDF]
Materials simulations based on direct numerical solvers are accurate but computationally expensive for predicting materials evolution across length- and time-scales, due to the complexity of the underlying evolution equations, the nature of multiscale ...

Direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional surface instability patterns in thin film-compliant substrate structures [PDF]
A comprehensive numerical study of three-dimensional surface instability patterns is presented. The formation of wrinkles is a consequence of deformation instability when a thin film, bonded to a compliant substrate, is subject to in-plane compressive ...

Optimal Taylor–Couette flow: direct numerical simulations [PDF]
AbstractWe numerically simulate turbulent Taylor–Couette flow for independently rotating inner and outer cylinders, focusing on the analogy with turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard flow. Reynolds numbers of $R{e}_{i} = 8\times 1{0}^{3} $ and $R{e}_{o} = \pm 4\times 1{0}^{3} $ of the inner and outer cylinders, respectively, are reached, corresponding to Taylor ...

High performance Python for direct numerical simulations of turbulent flows [PDF]
Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of the Navier Stokes equations is an invaluable research tool in fluid dynamics. Still, there are few publicly available research codes and, due to the heavy number crunching implied, available codes are usually written

DIPOLE COLLAPSE AND DYNAMO WAVES IN GLOBAL DIRECT NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS [PDF]
Magnetic fields of low-mass stars and planets are thought to originate from self-excited dynamo action in their convective interiors. Observations reveal a variety of field topologies ranging from large-scale, axial dipoles to more structured magnetic ...

Gas-Solid Heat Transfer Computation from Particle-Resolved Direct Numerical Simulations
Particle-Resolved simulations (PR-DNS) have been conducted using a second order implicit Viscous Penalty Method (VPM) to study the heat transfer between a set of particles and an incompressible carrier fluid.

Ephemeral antibubbles: Spatiotemporal evolution from direct numerical simulations
Antibubbles, which consist of a shell of a low-density fluid inside a high-density fluid, have several promising applications. We show, via extensive direct numerical simulations (DNSs), in both two and three dimensions, that the spatiotemporal evolution

Bedform dynamics from coupled bed-flow direct numerical simulations [PDF]
We present results of time-evolving coupled direct numerical simulations between an erodible bed and an overlying pressure-driven, turbulent flow field. A total of 6 simulations are considered, the details of which are shown in Table 1.
