Hydromechanics of low-Reynolds-number flow. Part 2. Singularity method for Stokes flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 1975
The present study furthcr explores the fundamental singular solutions for Stokes flow that can be useful for constructing solutions over a wide range of free-stream profiles and body shapes.

Odd viscosity in chiral active fluids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Chiral active fluids are materials composed of self-spinning rotors that continuously inject energy and angular momentum at the microscale. Out-of-equilibrium fluids with active-rotor constituents have been experimentally realized using nanoscale ...

Vortex shedding in a two-dimensional diffuser: theory and simulation of separation control by periodic mass injection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We develop a reduced-order model for large-scale unsteadiness (vortex shedding) in a two-dimensional diffuser and use the model to show how periodic mass injection near the separation point reduces stagnation pressure loss.

Dynamics of a two-dimensional upflowing mixing layer seeded with bubbles : bubble dispersion and effect of two-way coupling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The evolution and structure of a spatially evolving two-dimensional mixing layer seeded with small bubbles are numerically investigated. The one-way coupling approach is first employed to show that characteristics of bubble dispersion are dominated by ...

Probability & incompressible Navier-Stokes equations: An overview of some recent developments

open access: yes, 2005
This is largely an attempt to provide probabilists some orientation to an important class of non-linear partial differential equations in applied mathematics, the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.

Hydromechanics of low-Reynolds-number flow. Part 1. Rotation of axisymmetric prolate bodies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1974
The present series of studies is concerned with low-Reynolds-number flow in general; the main objective is to develop an effective method of solution for arbitrary body shapes.

A review of variational multiscale methods for the simulation of turbulent incompressible flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Various realizations of variational multiscale (VMS) methods for simulating turbulent incompressible flows have been proposed in the past fifteen years. All of these realizations obey the basic principles of VMS methods: They are based on the variational

Generalization of Clausius-Mossotti approximation in application to short-time transport properties of suspensions

open access: yes, 2015
In 1983 Felderhof, Ford and Cohen gave microscopic explanation of the famous Clausius-Mossotti formula for the dielectric constant of nonpolar dielectric.

Mobility Measurements Probe Conformational Changes in Membrane Proteins due to Tension

open access: yes, 2015
The function of membrane-embedded proteins such as ion channels depends crucially on their conformation. We demonstrate how conformational changes in asymmetric membrane proteins may be inferred from measurements of their diffusion.

Effect of a splitter plate on the dynamics of a vortex pair [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
An experimental and numerical study was performed to investigate and compare the behavior of a counter-rotating vortex pair and a single vortex in the vicinity of a wall.
