    High-order Compact ALE Gas-kinetic Scheme on Three-dimensional Unstructured Meshes

    In this paper, a compact high-order gas-kinetic scheme (HGKS) is developed for compressible arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) computations on three-dimensional unstructured meshes.

  2. 2
    Odd Capillarity

    Here, we introduce \emph{odd capillarity}, a parity-breaking interfacial mechanical response, by incorporating a symmetric, nonvariational, parity-odd capillary stress into the Cahn--Hilliard--Navier--Stokes (CHNS) equations.

  3. 3
    Feature-preserving Interface Reconstruction Using Piecewise Circles and Cusps

    We present a geometric interface reconstruction method for Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) simulations that captures both curved interfaces and sharp features using only volume fraction data.

  4. 4
    Learned Surrogates of Three-Dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence

    We present, to our knowledge, the first learned surrogates of three-dimensional resistive MHD turbulence, and compare three standard backbones in that role: a convolutional UNet, a shifted-window transformer and a Fourier neural operator.

  1. 6
    Novel Mixed Approximate Deconvolution Large-Eddy Simulation Models for Two-Phase Flows

    Specifically, we introduce the Alternative Local Dynamic Model with Kinetic energy equation (A-LDMK), an improved non-equilibrium one-equation mixed eddy-viscosity AD framework.

  2. 7
    Designing Turbulence Through Hierarchies

    Here we show that a hierarchy of inertia, coupled by the purely geometric nonlinearity of rigid constraints, is enough.

    FlowReconBench: Accuracy, Calibration and Cost of Learned and Classical Flow Reconstruction from Sparse Sensors

    Observing only 2 of 4 fields leaves the problem kinematically underconstrained, yet a latent model can reproduce structural similarities to the ground truth.

  4. 9
    Learning The Entropic Relaxation: Stable Coarse-Grid Emulation with Neural Discrete Equilibrium

    In this paper, we use the Neural Discrete Equilibrium (NeurDE) method to explore stable emulation at extremely coarse grids, demonstrating physically-principled control over entropy dynamics that reinforces the physical system's dissipative mechanism.

    Reconstructing Rayleigh--Bénard Flows from Temperature-only Measurements Using The Ensemble Kalman Filter

    We assess the filter in two chaotic regimes of two-dimensional bulk convection by means of a scale-by-scale spectral analysis.

  6. 11
    Finite-time Mixing and Reaction in Packed Bed Reactors

    From the extracted Lagrangian kinematics, we construct a mixing model based on lamellar aggregation that well predicts the Eulerian scalar fields obtained from simulations.

    Hard Constraint Projection in A Physics Informed Neural Network (Burgers)

    In this work, we extend the hard constraint projection (HCP) method developed by Chen et al. [Journal of Computational Physics, 445, 110624, 2021] from a linear partial differential equation (PDE) to a nonlinear PDE: the 1D Burgers' equation.

    The Lattice Boltzmann Machine

    The lattice Boltzmann (LB) method is widely regarded as a very flexible and efficient solver for a broad class of transport phenomena in fluids, soft matter and related fields. In this paper, we posit that such flexibility is a direct result of its generative nature as a rule-driven information-processing machine.

    OPINE: Orthogonal Projection in Invertible Nonlinear Embeddings for Turbulent Flows

    We introduce Orthogonal Projection in Invertible Nonlinear Embeddings (OPINE), which learns an invertible nonlinear change of coordinates and performs POD in the transformed coordinates.

    Vibration Patterns and Reed - Pipe Coupling in The Free Reeds of The Hulusi

    We report point-by-point laser Doppler vibrometry on the reeds of six handmade hulusi, two each in the keys of F, B$\flat$ and C, measured at 29 points on every reed or tongue over nine fingerings and two supply pressures.

  12. 17
    Eddies That Ride The Flow: A Model of Turbulence with Richardson Dispersion and Anomalous Dissipation

    We construct a divergence-free velocity field $\mathbf{u}(\mathbf{x},t)$ on $\mathbb{T}^{n}$ that is a genuine function of position and carries both defining properties of turbulent transport: Richardson pair dispersion and a dissipative anomaly.

  13. 18
    Coupled Effects of Biofilm Dynamics and Flow on Hydrogen Transport in A Hydrogen-Generating Fracture

    We use high-fidelity simulations to investigate flow, biofilm dynamics, and hydrogen transport in a rough fracture with reactive walls.

    Instability of Streaky High-supersonic Boundary Layers Over Cooled Walls

    We investigate the instability of streaks induced by free-stream vortical disturbances in cooled-wall high-supersonic boundary layers.

    Optimizing Synthetic Jet Placement for Control Stability in Increasing Reynolds Number Flows Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning

    This study utilizes reinforcement learning algorithms to develop advanced control strategies for manipulating synthetic jets positioned on a cylinder, aiming to achieve effective flow control.
