Design waves and statistics of linear gap resonances in random seas
Flow, 2021 Water wave resonance between two side-by-side vessels is a multimode resonant hydrodynamic phenomenon with low damping. The potential flow damping and viscous damping inside the gap play a significant role, influencing the amplitudes of the gap ...

Effects of prey capture on the swimming and feeding performance of choanoflagellates
Flow, 2023 Locomoting organisms often carry loads such as captured prey or young. Load-carrying effects on high-Reynolds-number flight have been studied, but the fluid dynamics of load carrying by low-Reynolds-number microorganisms has not.

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 ...

Small-width wall-attached Coandǎ jets for flow control
Flow, 2023 The flow dynamics of small-width wall-attached jets generated by a Coand-effect nozzle is investigated by unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulations. The data are validated by comparison with hot-wire velocity measurements performed on the same

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 ...

Tip leakage flow structure and cavitation inception in a ducted marine propeller
FlowCavitation inception and the associated flow structure in the tip region of a ducted propeller are investigated experimentally at varying advance ratios (J) using high-speed imaging and stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) measurements in a ...
