For gravity waves, wave turbulence predicts a dual (direct and inverse) cascade of energy and wave action, which yield power-law solutions for the energy spectrum. While energy cascades were predicted more than 50 years ago, observing them in the laboratory with mechanical forcing remains a challenge. Here, we present experiments in which we attempted to reproduce both direct and inverse cascades in a large circular wave tank. The geometry of the wave tank allows for the creation of isotropically spread surface waves, which is an assumption that underlies WT theory. Although we did see evidence of a direct cascade of energy, we did not observe an inverse cascade of wave action. We discuss the competing effects of dissipation and intermittency, which may dominate or obscure the weakly nonlinear dynamics.","PeriodicalId":20160,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Fluids","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142251968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cavitation bubble then moves away from the membrane with subsequent oscillation. To study the mechanism for this cavitation, experiments involving diffuse light and particle image velocimetry were conducted to capture the behaviors of the cavitation bubble and flow field resulting from the rapid deformation of the membrane. Analyzing the velocity and pressure fields reveals secondary cavitation induced by a sudden acceleration rather than a large velocity. Secondary cavitation occurs when the dimensionless inertial force overcomes the dimensionless pressure difference required for cavitation; subjecting these dimensionless quantities to a parametric study shows that the secondary cavitation occurs when the former is greater than the latter. During the collapse of the cavitation bubble, a thin jet points toward the membrane with an impact velocity of approximately 35 m/s. The subsequent oscillation of the cavitation bubble results in vortex flow moving away from the membrane. These findings provide insights into engineering applications such as bioengineering and mixing.","PeriodicalId":20160,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Fluids","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142251967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For small rotation rates of the drum, the lubrication film beneath the drop adopted a steady shape, while at higher rotation rates, traveling waves propagated along the drop's lower surface with roughly half the wall velocity. Here, we rationalize the physical origin of these waves. We begin with a simplified model of the lubrication flow beneath the droplet, and examine the linear stability of this base state to perturbations of the Tollmien-Schlichting type. Our developments lead to the Orr-Sommerfeld equation (OSE), whose eigenvalues give the growth rates and phase speeds of the perturbations. By considering wavelengths long relative to the lubrication film thickness, we solve the OSE perturbatively and so deduce the wavelength and phase velocity of the most unstable mode.

Provided that a thin film forms on the walls transverse to the downward flow, the drainage induces a surfactant gradient (i.e., Marangoni effect), which then leads to a film-climbing event against gravity. The overall climbing effect is limited by the capillary rise height (i.e., propensity for infiltration due to surface tension) and the surfactant gradient formed postmeniscus drainage, thus revealing a twofold role of surface tension in gravity-oriented capillaries hitherto unexplored. The interplay of mechanisms influencing the climbing films include surfactant kinetics, diffusion, and advection of surfactants.","PeriodicalId":20160,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Fluids","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142251970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We provide a three-dimensional coupled volume of fluid (VoF) and phase field numerical approach to simulate the effects of insoluble surfactant-laden flows. The framework is validated against analytical cases for surfactant transport and Marangoni stresses. We then systematically investigate a single surfactant-laden rising bubble. The characteristics of a clean bubble rising in a quiescent liquid are governed by nondimensional numbers, i.e., the Galileo number <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mtext>Ga</mtext></math>, which compares inertial and viscous effects, and the Bond number <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mtext>Bo</mtext></math>, which compares gravitational and surface tension stresses.

Using the formalism of the two-point correlators, an exact relation connecting the second-order statistical moments to the average energy injection rate is derived for the scale-to-scale transfer of the total energy. We validate the universality of the exact relation through direct numerical simulations for stationary and nonstationary cascade regimes. For a weak external magnetic field, both kinetic and the total energy cascade with nearly the same cascade rate. A stationary cascade regime is achieved, and hence a good agreement between the exact energy transfer rate and the average energy injection is found. Due to the rapid alignment of the ferrofluid particles in the presence of strong external fields, the turbulence dynamics becomes nonstationary. Interestingly, there too, both kinetic and the total energy exhibit inertial range cascades but with different cascade rates which can be explained using the nonstationary form of our derived exact relation.","PeriodicalId":20160,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Fluids","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142210889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The waves focus in a neighborhood of the apex of the propagation cone. Using direct numerical simulations, we characterize the flow in this region, within a linear approximation or in the regime where nonlinear interactions between waves produce a turbulent patch. Forcing by the torus is modeled in two ways. The first model represents the effect of the oscillating torus as a local volume force in the form of a Dirac delta function, called the Dirac ring. The second approach aims at a more realistic three-dimensional model of a torus represented by a volume penalization technique. We observe the appearance of a mean flow composed of a central vortex produced by the nonlinear interaction of the IWs.

The droplet dynamics are contrasted with the case of a Newtonian fluid film. The simulations demonstrate that when the film is viscoelastic, the droplet dynamics become insensitive to the film thickness when the polymer viscosity and relaxation time are large. A viscoelastic ridge forms at the moving contact line, which evolves with a power-law dependence on time.
