Understanding the effect of airflow in enclosed/indoor environments is of great interest due to its close relationship to occupant’s safety, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency....
The two images above show large-scale flows structures in the polar regions of Jupiter (L) and Saturn (R). These arise from the interaction between convection...
Density currents, driven by the density contrast between two fluids, are an important class of geophysical flow, pertinent to atmospheric, terrestrial, deep marine and inner...
Controlled fusion seeks to harness the power of the Sun on Earth. The aim is to confine hot plasma in a toroidal device known as...
Nature and industry abound with examples of highly porous, fibrous materials embedded in a viscous fluid. Examples include the cellular cytoskeleton, scaffolds for tissue engineering,...
Hyperloop is a newly proposed mode of transportation where vehicles move within a tube held at vacuum-type conditions at speeds of up to 1200km/h. Currently,...
Direct numerical simulation coupled to an interface tracking technique, for small numbers of particles, and Lagrangian particle tracking, for more realistic numbers of particles, will...
Convection-driven flows influenced by rotation are ubiquitous in planetary interiors, including the liquid cores of terrestrial bodies, the outer regions of gas giants and the...
Heart failure post myocardial infarction is a worldwide massive burden with an anticipated prevalence increase of 46% before 2030. The main cause of heart failure...
The design of hydraulic infrastructure and in particular reservoir spillways is an area of significant importance from a safety and economic perspective (consider recent failure...
