In this paper, we present finite-dimensional particle-based models for fluids which respect a number of geometric properties of the Euler equations of motion. Specifically, we use Lagrange-Poincare reduction to understand the coupling between a fluid and a ...
In this paper, a micromachined silicon straight tube is tested as a fluid density sensor. In comparison with other density measurement techniques, the use of micromachined tubes require small sample volumes and allows continuous monitoring of the fluid den ...
A widely used, yet thus far unproven, fluid dynamical hypothesis originally presented by P. R. Owen 50years ago, states that the surface shear stress induced by a fluid on the ground during equilibrium sediment saltation is constant and independent of the ...
The coalescence of two coplanar fractures growing under the symmetric injection of a Newtonian fluid from two point sources provides a unique data set to validate theoretical predictions of hydraulic fracture (HF) growth. We test the theoretical prediction ...
The Weyssenhoff fluid is a perfect fluid with spin where the spin of the matter fields is the source of torsion in an Einstein–Cartan framework. Obukhov and Korotky showed that this fluid can be described as an effective fluid with spin in general relativi ...
While it is well known that constant rotation induces linear dispersive effects in various fluid models, we study here its effect on long time nonlinear dynamics in the inviscid setting. More precisely, we investigate stability in the 3d rotating Euler equ ...
Rationale: The transport of interstitial fluid and solutes into lymphatic vessels is important for maintaining interstitial homeostasis and delivering antigens and soluble factors to the lymph node for immune surveillance. Transendothelial transport across ...
Firstly, a dynamical analysis of adiabatic perturbations of a perfect fluid is performed to first-order about a general FLRW background using the 1 + 3 covariant and gauge-invariant formalism. The 1 + 3 covariant analog of the Mukhanov-Sasaki and Grishchuk ...
Current capabilities of Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) in Eulerian-Lagrangian studies of dispersed flows are limited by the modeling of the Sub-Grid Scale (SGS) turbulence effects on particle dynamics. These effects should be taken into account in order to re ...
Particle transport in magnetized plasmas is investigated with a fluid model of drift wave turbulence. An analytical calculation shows that magnetic field curvature and thermodiffusion drive an anomalous pinch. The curvature driven pinch velocity is consist ...
