Contrail microphysics in the near wake of a realistic wing through RANS simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper focuses on Steady Reynolds Average Navier Stokes simulations (RANS) of ice particles growth in the near field of a wing-injector configuration.

A Minimalist Turbulent Boundary Layer Model

open access: yes, 2008
We introduce an elementary model of a turbulent boundary layer over a flat surface, given as a vertical random distribution of spanwise Lamb-Oseen vortex configurations placed over a non-slip boundary condition line.

Phase-space Lagrangian dynamics of incompressible thermofluids

open access: yes, 2009
Phase-space Lagrangian dynamics in ideal fluids (i.e, continua) is usually related to the so-called {\it ideal tracer particles}. The latter, which can in principle be permitted to have arbitrary initial velocities, are understood as particles of ...

Particle motion between parallel walls: Hydrodynamics and simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The low-Reynolds-number motion of a single spherical particle between parallel walls is determined from the exact reflection of the velocity field generated by multipoles of the force density on the particle’s surface.

Slip-velocity of large neutrally-buoyant particles in turbulent flows

open access: yes, 2012
We discuss possible definitions for a stochastic slip velocity that describes the relative motion between large particles and a turbulent flow. This definition is necessary because the slip velocity used in the standard drag model fails when particle ...

An overview on numerical analyses of nematic liquid crystal flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The purpose of this work is to provide an overview of the most recent numerical developments in the field of nematic liquid crystals. The Ericksen-Leslie equations govern the motion of a nematic liquid crystal. This system, in its simplest form, consists

Vortex filament solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations

open access: yes, 2020
We consider solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in $3d$ with vortex filament initial data of arbitrary circulation, that is, initial vorticity given by a divergence-free vector-valued measure of arbitrary mass supported on a smooth curve.

Realizing the physics of motile cilia synchronization with driven colloids

open access: yes, 2015
Cilia and flagella in biological systems often show large scale cooperative behaviors such as the synchronization of their beats in "metachronal waves".

Dust trapping in inviscid vortex pairs

open access: yes, 2010
The motion of tiny heavy particles transported in a co-rotating vortex pair, with or without particle inertia and sedimentation, is investigated. The dynamics of non-inertial sedimenting particles is shown to be chaotic, under the combined effect of ...
