Rev. Fluids</span> <b>8</b>, 083301 (2023)]. Primarily we consider a 0.1% aqueous Carbopol solution and model its rheology with the Saramito-Herschel-Bulkley constitutive model. Initially, we investigate the dynamics for a specific initial separation distance in a wide range of bubble radii, and we determine the conditions leading to three distinct patterns: bubble approach, bubble separation, and establishment of a constant distance between them. Specifically, when the leading bubble (LB) is smaller than the trailing bubble (TB), the bubbles approach each other due to the smaller buoyancy of the leading bubble. Strong attraction also occurs when the ratio of buoyant over viscous force of both bubbles is considerable. On the other hand, when the size of the TB is such that this ratio is moderate or small, the pattern is dictated by the size of the LB: A significantly larger LB compared to the trailing one causes separation of the pair. On the contrary, an only slightly larger LB may result in the bubbles rising with the same terminal velocity establishing a constant distance between them, the magnitude of which is mainly determined by the elastic response of the surrounding medium. The coupling of a negative wake behind the LB with a slight modification of the stresses exerted at its rear pole generates this dynamic equilibrium. The same equilibrium may be achieved by other specific pairs of bubble sizes for different initial distances of the pair if a critical initial distance is exceeded. Below this critical value, the bubbles approach each other. Finally, we construct maps of the three patterns with trailing bubble radius versus bubble radii ratio for different initial separation distances and material properties.","PeriodicalId":20160,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Fluids","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142210843","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}

In particular, we find the self-similar corrections to the interface shape as well as the flow field, and also determine their scaling with the capillary number. We find that inertia invariably modifies the interface into a cusplike shape with an increased film thickness.

Because the turbulence model for EHD has not been well studied, in this work we apply the large eddy simulation (LES) to electrohydrodynamic turbulence based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). The eddy-viscosity methods (the Smagorinsky and wall-adapting local eddy-viscosity models) are used to model the momentum equation, and the charge transport equation is modeled with the help of the turbulent Schmidt number. Three EC cases are chosen to test the reliability of the LBM-LES models, including two-dimensional (2D) EC turbulence in square and rectangular cells, and three-dimensional (3D) EC turbulence between two parallel plates. For 2D cases, the LES results are compared to the results of different numerical methods, including direct numerical simulation and LES. The long-time statistics of maximum velocity, charge current and its probability distribution, and flow evolution are used to validate the 2D EC turbulence. We also analyze the flow patterns and average characteristics for 3D cases. The LES results could capture the main flow features of EC turbulence for all cases, and demonstrate a good agreement when compared with references. The mentioned LBM-LES models have demonstrated reliability and high computational speed, making them suitable for further simulations of electrohydrodynamic turbulence.","PeriodicalId":20160,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Fluids","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142210874","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}

While it is recognized that low wall-shear stresses trigger plaque formation, there is a limited comprehension of the internal vortical structures that impact these stresses and how they differ between a healthy and a disease-prone, high-risk patient cohort. Our objective is to determine which driving factors, such as anatomical features (artery geometry) and mass-flow split, govern vortex behavior. Physiological pulsatile flow computational fluid dynamics simulations were performed on a “healthy” and a “disease-prone” carotid artery bifurcation model. Geometry and flow effects are investigated separately by simulating a third hybrid model having a healthy geometry with outlet boundary conditions imposing disease-prone flow conditions. This “unhealthy <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mrow><mi mathvariant=\"normal\">Δ</mi><mi mathvariant=\"normal\">P</mi></mrow></math>” model recreated disease-prone mass-flow split and internal carotid artery sinus axial pressure gradient conditions in a healthy carotid artery bifurcation geometry. The results of our study revealed that the main vortex's time of formation is primarily dictated by carotid artery bifurcation geometry, whereas its lifespan is determined by the flow conditions. The main vortex's spatial expansion, as well as its circulation decay rate, are dictated by the geometry, not the flow conditions. We conclude that a high internal carotid artery mass flow rate and a higher favorable pressure gradient maximum magnitude occurring near peak systole are strong indicators of a high predisposition towards atherogenesis.","PeriodicalId":20160,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Fluids","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142227806","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 input and output features of the neural networks are selected based on the physical relations of the turbulent boundary layer for robustness against various Reynolds and Mach number conditions. The proposed neural networks allow the wall model to accurately predict the wall shear stress from the erroneous near-wall information and yields accurate predictions of the turbulence statistics. Additionally, the proposed physics-informed machine-learning approach reproduces the asymmetry in the probability density functions of the predicted wall shear stress observed in direct numerical simulations, while the conventional wall model with input away from the wall does not.

Despite its importance, limited research has been conducted to comprehend the influence of these multicomponent and multiple coupling mechanisms on turbulence cascades. Hence, this study aims to provide a preliminary and theoretical exploration into how these multiple coupling mechanisms govern the cascades of turbulent kinetic energy and multicomponent scalars. To simplify the mathematical analysis, homogeneous and isotropic hypotheses of flow field have been applied. The key findings of this study can be summarized as follows. The first is validation of quad-cascade processes. The second is an examination of various cases involving single scalar components but multiple coupling mechanisms. Of particular interest is the coexistence of buoyancy-driven turbulence and electrokinetic turbulence, which introduces a new variable flux (VF) subrange resulting from their nonlinear interaction. Another extension considers an exponential modulation function, equivalent to the coexistence of multiple coupling mechanisms acting on a single scalar. The study identifies two new VF subranges. Third, binary scalar components and coupling mechanisms are investigated, indicating coupling mechanisms with significantly different strengths that can also induce complex interactions and new VF subranges. Fourth is the complexity when three or more different scalar components and coupling mechanisms coexist simultaneously: with the exception of certain special cases, closure of the problem becomes unattainable. This highlights the challenges inherent in addressing the simultaneous presence of multiple scalar components and coupling mechanisms. This research endeavor illuminates the theoretical understanding of the diverse scaling properties observed in momentum-scalar coupling turbulence across different scenarios.","PeriodicalId":20160,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Fluids","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142227807","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 suppression of baroclinic instability over slopes has been widely established, where previous research argues that a sloping boundary modifies the properties of these Rossby edge waves, but does not provide a mechanistic explanation for the suppression that is valid over all parameter space. In the context of an Eady problem modified by the presence of a sloping boundary, we provide a mechanistic rationalization for baroclinic instability in the presence of slopes that is valid over all parameter space, via an equivalent formulation explicitly in terms of Rossby edge waves. We also highlight the differences between edge-wave phase shifts and normal-mode phase tilts, showing that the edge-wave phase shifts should be the ones that are mechanistically relevant, and normal-mode phase tilt is a potentially misleading quantity to use. Further, we present evidence that the edge-wave phase shifts but not normal-mode phase tilts are well correlated with geometric quantities diagnosed from an analysis framework based on eddy variance ellipses. The result is noteworthy in that the geometric framework makes no explicit reference to the edge-wave structures in its construction, and the correlation suggests the geometric framework can be used in problems where edge-wave structures are not so well defined or readily available. Some implications for parametrization of baroclinic instability and relevant eddy-mean feedbacks are discussed. For completeness, we also provide an explicit demonstration that the linear instability problem of the present modified Eady problem is parity-time symmetric, and speculate about some suggestive links between parity-time symmetry, shear instability, and the edge-wave interaction mechanism.","PeriodicalId":20160,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Fluids","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142210845","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}

As the demand for generating jets and droplets from medium to highly viscous liquids increases, understanding the role of viscosity in jetting dynamics becomes crucial. While previous studies have examined the viscous effects on walls, the impact on free surfaces has not been thoroughly understood. This study aims to bridge this gap by integrating experiments with numerical simulations to investigate the viscous effects on focused jet formation. We demonstrate that mass and momentum transfer along the tangential direction of the free surface contribute to focused jet formation, and viscosity plays a key role in this transfer process. The viscosity-induced diffusion of the shear flow and vorticity near the free surface reduces the jet speed. Based on experimental observations and simulation results, we propose an equation to predict the viscous jet velocity. These findings offer new perspectives on viscous interface dynamics in advanced manufacturing and biomedical applications.","PeriodicalId":20160,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Fluids","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142210876","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}
