Even though the achievable Reynolds numbers are lower than those obtained through experimental means, DNS offers a clear advantage: The entire velocity field is known, allowing for the evaluation of any desired quantity. This capability includes the computation of derivatives of all relevant terms. One such derivative provides the indicator function, which is the product of the wall distance and the wall-normal derivative of the mean streamwise velocity. This derivative may depend on mesh spacing and distribution, but it is extremely affected by the convergence of the simulation. The indicator function is crucial for understanding inner and outer interactions in wall-bounded flows and describing the overlap region between them. We find a clear dependence of this indicator function on the mesh distributions we examine, raising questions about classical mesh and convergence requirements for DNS and achievable accuracy. Within the framework of the logarithmic plus linear overlap region, coupled with a parametric study of channel flows and some pipe flows, sensitivities of extracted overlap parameters are examined.

This investigation employs theoretical, numerical, and experimental methodologies, with a focus on the wetting characteristics of both the particle and its substrate. These properties are crucial in determining the likelihood of entrapment and its impact on the particle's adhesion force to the substrate. The theoretical model provides the mathematical framework to account for the additional force exerted on the particle due to the entrapped bubble, while numerical calculations yield corresponding force values. The results underscore the significant influence of the wettability of both the particle and the substrate on this force. In support of findings of the numerical model, companion experiments were performed. The results demonstrate that the bubbles can indeed be entrapped at microscales underneath micrometric particles. Experimental measurements of detachment force reveal the substantial impact of these entrapped bubbles on the force required to detach particles from a surface. Specifically, the force appears notably higher when either the particle or the substrate, or both, exhibit hydrophobic characteristics. We highlight the alignment observed between numerical calculations and experimental results, while also examining and discussing any identified disparities and their root causes. Lastly, we propose an energy model that predicts the post-detachment configuration of the bubble, determining whether it remains attached to the particle, adheres to the substrate, or splits into daughter bubbles distributed across both surfaces. These findings hold significance for a wide range of industrial applications where the immersion of micrometer-sized entities, such as dirt or bacteria, is common during liquid-based cleaning processes.","PeriodicalId":20160,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Fluids","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883702","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}

Fluid Mech.</span> <b>871</b>, 831 (2019)]. Here, we study nonmodal disturbances in the spatial framework using an eigenvector decomposition of the linearized Navier-Stokes equations under the assumption of locally parallel flow. To account for nonideality, a new energy norm is derived. Several heat transfer scenarios at supercritical pressure are investigated, which are of practical relevance in technical applications. The boundary layers with the fluid at supercritical pressure are heated or cooled by prescribing the wall and free-stream temperatures so that the temperature profile is either entirely subcritical (liquidlike), supercritical (gaslike), or transcritical (across the Widom line). The free-stream Mach number is set to <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><msup><mn>10</mn><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>3</mn></mrow></msup></math>. In the nontranscritical regimes, the resulting streamwise-independent streaks originate from the lift-up effect. Wall cooling enhances the energy amplification for both subcritical and supercritical regimes. When the temperature profile is increased beyond the Widom line, a strong suboptimal growth is observed over very short streamwise distances due to the Orr mechanism. Due to the additional presence of transcritical Mode II, the optimal energy growth at large distances is found to arise from an interplay between lift-up and Orr mechanism. As a result, optimal disturbances are streamwise-modulated streaks with strong thermal components and with a propagation angle inversely proportional to the local Reynolds number. The nonmodal growth is put in perspective with modal growth by means of an <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mi>N</mi></math>-factor comparison. In the nontranscritical regimes, modal stability dominates regardless of a wall-temperature variation. In contrast, in the transcritical regime, nonmodal <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mi>N</mi></math> factors are found to resemble the imposition of an adverse pressure gradient in the ideal-gas regime. When cooling beyond the Widom line, optimal growth is greatly enhanced, yet strong inviscid instability prevails. When heating beyond the Widom line, optimal growth could be sufficiently large to favor transition, particularly with a high free-stream turbulence level.","PeriodicalId":20160,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Fluids","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883701","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}

However, the parameters controlling the patterns of displacement and mixing in these flows are not completely resolved. This study delves into the effects of heterogeneity and inlet pressure on mixing and displacement patterns of low-viscosity miscible phase invasion into a high-viscosity resident phase, that is saturating a porous medium. The findings highlight the substantial influence of inlet pressures and heterogeneity levels in transitioning from uniform to fingering patterns at the pore scale. These phenomena are detectable at the Darcy scale, and their transition from a uniform front to finger formation is effectively marked through a modified Sherwood number. This modified Sherwood number links microscale patterns to physical properties such as velocity distribution, diffusion, and viscosity contrasts. Additionally, the study employs breakthrough curve (BTC) analysis to illustrate the role of higher heterogeneity and inlet pressure in broadening the fluid velocity distribution, leading to the fingering pattern. These research insights provide a nondimensional approach that scales the BTCs, and can serve future models of miscible phase flow in porous media, linking pore-scale dynamics with macroscale Darcy-scale observations.","PeriodicalId":20160,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Fluids","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141887219","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 here introduce a new platform for addressing this question, a numerical model of cooperative tunneling in a bipartite pilot-wave hydrodynamic system. We execute a static Bell test, in which the system geometry is fixed and the two subsystems are coupled through the intervening wave field. This wave-mediated coupling is not congruent with the assumptions made in deriving Bell's inequality, and so allows one to rationalize the reported violations.

The aim is to expand the prior research [Wei, <span>Phys. Fluids</span> <b>17</b>, 012103 (2005)] to the case of a nonisothermal viscous film. As a result, the energy equation is incorporated into the governing equations along with the mass conservation and momentum equations. In the present study, we have found two additional thermocapillary S- and P-modes in the low to moderate Reynolds number regime, along with the known H-mode (surface mode) and surfactant mode. The long-wave analysis predicts that the surfactant Marangoni number, which measures the surface tension gradient due to a change in insoluble surfactant concentration, has a stabilizing impact on the H-mode, but the thermal Marangoni number, which measures the surface tension gradient due to a change in temperature, has a destabilizing impact. These opposing effects produce an analytical relationship between them for which the critical Reynolds number for the H-mode instability of the nonisothermal film flow coincides with that of the isothermal film flow. On the other hand, the numerical result exhibits that the surfactant Marangoni number has a stabilizing influence on the thermocapillary S-mode and P-mode. More specifically, these thermocapillary instabilities diminish with an increase in the value of the surfactant Marangoni number. However, these thermocapillary instabilities can be made stronger by increasing the value of the thermal Marangoni number. Furthermore, the thermal Marangoni number destabilizes the surfactant mode instability, but the onset of instability is not affected in the presence of the thermal Marangoni number, which is in contrast to the influence of the surfactant Marangoni number on the onset of surfactant mode instability. Interestingly, the Biot number, which measures the ratio of heat convection and heat conduction, shows a dual role in the surfactant mode instability, even though the threshold of instability remains the same. In the high Reynolds number regime, the shear mode appears and is stabilized by the surfactant Marangoni number but destabilized by the thermal Marangoni number. Moreover, the comparison of results with inertia and without inertia exhibits a stabilizing role of inertia in the surfactant mode.","PeriodicalId":20160,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Fluids","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141869062","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}
