The paper considers the nonlinear electrodynamics type model and its relation with relativistic hydrodynamics with no dissipation (including string and membrane hydrodynamics). We are able to convert arbitrary flux of fluid to the family of geodesics by the conformal transformation of metric. The conditions of transformation of nonlinear electrodynamics solution to linear electrodynamics solution by changing of metric are presented.
Multi-fluid models have recently been proposed as an approach to improving the representation of convection in weather and climate models. This is an attractive framework as it is fundamentally dynamical, removing some of the assumptions of mass-flux convection schemes which are invalid at current model resolutions. However, it is still not understood how best to close the multi-fluid equations for atmospheric convection. In this paper we develop a simple two-fluid, single-column model with one rising and one falling fluid. No further modelling of sub-filter variability is included. We then ap…
The mathematical modelling of species transport in the turbulent boundary layer of fluids that precipitate on the wall, is an important topic at the heart of one of the biggest challenges in efficient energy utilization in all process industries; namely the fouling of heat exchangers. A major contributor to the complexity of the problem is the multi-length-scale nature of the governing phenomena. That is, transport mechanisms dominating at the nano-scale may be responsible for the macroscopic performance of the industrial process. This paper addresses some of the challenges that need to be met…
Modelling sediment transport in environmental turbulent fluids is a challenge. This article develops a sound model of the lateral transport of suspended sediment in environmental fluid flows such as floods and tsunamis. The model is systematically derived from a 3D turbulence model based on the Smagorinski large eddy closure. Embedding the physical dynamics into a family of problems and analysing linear dynamics of the system, centre manifold theory indicates the existence of slow manifold parametrised by macroscale variables. Computer algebra then constructs the slow manifold in terms of flui…
A comprehensive study of the problem of modelling vaporous cavitation in transmission lines is presented. The two-phase homogeneous equilibrium vaporous cavitation model which has been developed is compared with the conventional column separation model. The latter predicts unrealistically high pressure spikes because of a conflict arising from the prediction of negative cavity sizes if the pressure is not permitted to fall below the vapour pressure, or the prediction of negative absolute pressures if the cavity size remains positive. This is verified by a comparison of predictions with previou…
Suppose the observations of Lagrangian trajectories for fluid flow in some physical situation can be modelled sufficiently accurately by a spatially correlated Itô stochastic process (with zero mean) obtained from data which is taken in fixed Eulerian space. Suppose we also want to apply Hamilton's principle to derive the stochastic fluid equations for this situation. Now, the variational calculus for applying Hamilton's principle requires the Stratonovich process, so we must transform from Itô noise in the \emph{data frame} to the equivalent Stratonovich noise. However, the transformation fro…
We present a thermodynamically consistent model of a ternary fluid interacting with elastic membranes. Following a free-energy modelling approach and taking into account the thermodynamics laws, we derive the equations governing the ternary fluid flow and dynamics of the membranes. We also provide the numerical framework for simulating such fluid-structure interaction problems. It is based on the lattice Boltzmann method, employed for resolving the evolution equations of the ternary fluid in an Eulerian description, coupled to the immersed boundary method, allowing for the membrane equations o…
Flow of cerebrospinal fluid in perivascular spaces is a key mechanism underlying brain transport and clearance. In this paper, we present a mathematical and numerical formalism for reduced models of pulsatile viscous fluid flow in networks of generalized annular cylinders. We apply this framework to study cerebrospinal fluid flow in perivascular spaces induced by pressure differences, cardiac pulse wave-induced vascular wall motion and vasomotion. The reduced models provide approximations of the cross-section average pressure and cross-section flux, both defined over the topologically one-dime…
This paper proposes an approach combining the Volume Penalization (VP) and the the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to compute fluid structure interaction involving rigid bodies. The method consists in adding a force term in the LBM formulation, and thus considers the rigid body similar to particular porous media. Using a characteristic function for the solid domain avoids the expensive tracking of the fluid-solid interface employed commonly in LBM to treat FSI problems. The method is applied to three FSI problems and solved using a Graphics Processor Units (GPU) device. The applications focus o…
We present a numerical investigation of stochastic transport in ideal fluids. According to Holm (Proc Roy Soc, 2015) and Cotter et al. (2017), the principles of transformation theory and multi-time homogenisation, respectively, imply a physically meaningful, data-driven approach for decomposing the fluid transport velocity into its drift and stochastic parts, for a certain class of fluid flows. In the current paper, we develop new methodology to implement this velocity decomposition and then numerically integrate the resulting stochastic partial differential equation using a finite element dis…
A good representation of mesoscopic fluids is required to combine with molecular simulations at larger length and time scales (De Fabritiis {\it et. al}, Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 134501 (2006)). However, accurate computational models of the hydrodynamics of nanoscale molecular assemblies are lacking, at least in part because of the stochastic character of the underlying fluctuating hydrodynamic equations. Here we derive a finite volume discretization of the compressible isothermal fluctuating hydrodynamic equations over a regular grid in the Eulerian reference system. We apply it to fluids such as…
The multiscale gap-tooth scheme uses a given microscale simulator of complicated physical processes to enable macroscale simulations by computing only only small sparse patches. This article develops the gap-tooth scheme to the case of nonlinear microscale simulations of thin fluid flow. The microscale simulator is derived by artificially assuming the fluid film flow having two artificial layers but no distinguishing physical feature. Centre manifold theory assures that there exists a slow manifold in the two-layer fluid film flow. Eigenvalue analysis confirms the stability of the microscale s…

Transport of electrolytic solutions under influence of electric fields occurs in phenomena ranging from biology to geophysics. Here, we present a continuum model for single-phase electrohydrodynamic flow, which can be derived from fundamental thermodynamic principles. This results in a generalized Navier-Stokes-Poisson-Nernst-Planck system, where fluid properties such as density and permittivity depend on the ion concentration fields. We propose strategies for constructing numerical schemes for this set of equations, where solving the electrochemical and the hydrodynamic subproblems are decoup…
Deep learning techniques for improving fluid flow modelling have gained significant attention in recent years. Advanced deep learning techniques achieve great progress in rapidly predicting fluid flows without prior knowledge of the underlying physical relationships. Advanced deep learning techniques achieve great progress in rapidly predicting fluid flows without prior knowledge of the underlying physical relationships. However, most of existing researches focused mainly on either sequence learning or spatial learning, rarely on both spatial and temporal dynamics of fluid flows (Reichstein et…
In this paper, the performance of two lattice Boltzmann method formulations for yield-stress (i.e. viscoplastic) fluids has been investigated. The first approach is based on the popular Papanastasiou regularisation of the fluid rheology in conjunction with explicit modification of the lattice Boltzmann relaxation rate. The second approach uses a locally-implicit formulation to simultaneously solve for the fluid stress and the underlying particle distribution functions. After investigating issues related to the lattice symmetry and non-hydrodynamic Burnett stresses, the two models were compared…
In this paper, we present a new model to simulate the formation, evolution, and break up of a thin film of fluid flowing over a curved surface. Referred to as the discrete droplet method (DDM), the model captures the evolution of thin fluid films by tracking individual moving fluid droplets. In contrast to existing thin film models that solve a PDE to determine the film height, here, we compute the film height by numerical integration based on the aggregation of droplets. The novelty of this approach in using droplets makes it suitable for simulating the formation of fluid films, and modelling…
Considering the high computation cost produced in conventional computation fluid dynamic simulations, machine learning methods have been introduced to flow dynamic simulations in recent years. However, most of studies focus mainly on existing fluid fields learning, the prediction of spatio-temporal nonlinear fluid flows in varying parameterized space has been neglected. In this work, we propose a hybrid deep adversarial autoencoder (DAA) to integrate generative adversarial network (GAN) and variational autoencoder (VAE) for predicting parameterized nonlinear fluid flows in spatial and temporal…
Experimental studies have demonstrated that spermatozoa synchronize their flagella when swimming in close proximity. In a Newtonian fluid, it was shown theoretically that such synchronization arises passively due to hydrodynamic forces between the two swimmers if their waveforms exhibit a front-back geometrical asymmetry. Motivated by the fact that most biological fluids possess a polymeric microstructure, we address here synchronization in a viscoelastic fluid analytically. Using a two-dimensional infinite sheet model we show that the presence of polymeric stresses removes the geometrical asy…
Reduced Order Modelling (ROM) has been widely used to create lower order, computationally inexpensive representations of higher-order dynamical systems. Using these representations, ROMs can efficiently model flow fields while using significantly lesser parameters. Conventional ROMs accomplish this by linearly projecting higher-order manifolds to lower-dimensional space using dimensionality reduction techniques such as Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). In this work, we develop a novel deep learning framework DL-ROM (Deep Learning - Reduced Order Modelling) to create a neural network capab…
We introduce a meshfree collocation framework to model the phase change from liquid to vapor at or above the boiling point. While typical vaporization or boiling simulations focus on the vaporization from the bulk of the fluid, here we include the possibility of vaporization from the free surface, when a moving fluid comes into contact with a superheated surface. We present a continuum, one-fluid approach in which the liquid and vapor phases are modeled with the same constitutive equations, with different material properties. The novelty here is a monolithic approach without explicit modeling …
This paper addresses the problem of obtaining low-order models of fluid flows for the purpose of designing robust feedback controllers. This is challenging since whilst many flows are governed by a set of nonlinear, partial differential-algebraic equations (the Navier-Stokes equations), the majority of established control theory assumes models of much greater simplicity, in that they are firstly: linear, secondly: described by ordinary differential equations, and thirdly: finite-dimensional. Linearisation, where appropriate, overcomes the first disparity, but attempts to reconcile the remainin…
The Euler-Poincaré approach to complex fluids is used to derive multiscale equations for computationally modelling Euler flows as a basis for modelling turbulence. The model is based on a \emph{kinematic sweeping ansatz} (KSA) which assumes that the mean fluid flow serves as a Lagrangian frame of motion for the fluctuation dynamics. Thus, we regard the motion of a fluid parcel on the computationally resolvable length scales as a moving Lagrange coordinate for the fluctuating (zero-mean) motion of fluid parcels at the unresolved scales. Even in the simplest 2-scale version on which we concentra…
Conventional heat carrier liquids have demonstrated remarkable enhancement in heat and mass transfer when nanoparticles were suspended in them. These liquid-nanoparticle suspensions are now known as Nanofluids. However the relationship between nanoparticles and the degree of enhancement is still unclear, thus hindering the large scale manufacturing of them. Understanding of the energy and flow behaviour of nanofluids is therefore of wide interest in both academic and industrial context. In this paper we first model the heat transfer of a nanofluid in convection in a circular tube at macro-scal…
Fluid deformable surfaces are ubiquitous in cell and tissue biology, including lipid bilayers, the actomyosin cortex, or epithelial cell sheets. These interfaces exhibit a complex interplay between elasticity, low Reynolds number interfacial hydrodynamics, chemistry, and geometry, and govern important biological processes such as cellular traffic, division, migration, or tissue morphogenesis. To address the modelling challenges posed by this class of problems, in which interfacial phenomena tightly interact with the shape and dynamics of the surface, we develop a general continuum mechanics an…
The increasing worldwide population leads to a constant increase in energy and food demand. These increasing demands have led to fierce land-use conflicts as we need agricultural land for food production while striving towards renewable energy systems such as large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, which also require in most of the cases agricultural flat land for implementation. It is therefore essential to identify the interrelationships between the food, and energy sectors and develop intelligent solutions to achieve global goals such as food and energy security. A technology that has …
A potential theory is presented for the problem of two moving cylinders, with possibly different radii, large motions, immersed in an perfect stagnant fluid. We show that the fluid force is the superposition of an added mass term, related to the time variations of the potential, and a quadratic term related to its spatial variations. We provide new simple and exact analytical expressions for the fluid added mass coefficients, in which the effect of the confinement is made explicit. The self-added mass (resp. cross-added mass) is shown to decrease (resp. increase) with the separation distance a…
Fully nonlinear numerical simulation of two dimensional Faraday waves between two incompressible and immiscible fluids is performed by adopting the phase-field method with the Cahn-Hilliard equation due to Jacqmin (1999) [J. Comput. Phys., v.155, 96]. Its validation is checked against the linear theory. In a nonlinear regime, qualitative comparison is made with an earlier vortex-sheet simulation of two dimensional Faraday waves by Wright et al. (2000) [J. Fluid Mech., v.400, 1]. The vorticity outside the interface region is studied in this comparison. The period tripling state, which is observ…
The FOSS CFD-SPH code SPHERA v.9.0.0 (RSE SpA) is empowered to deal with fluid-solid body interactions under no-slip conditions and laminar regimes for the simulation of hydrodynamic lubrication. The code is herein validated in relation to a uniform slider bearing (i.e., for a constant lubricant film depth) and a linear slider bearing (i.e., for a film depth with a linear profile variation along the main flow direction). Validations refer to comparisons with analytical solutions, herein generalized to consider any Dirichlet boundary condition. Further, this study allows a first code validation…
We study numerically a reduced model proposed by Benilov and Vynnycky (J. Fluid Mech. {\bf 718} (2013), 481), who examined the behavior of a contact line with a $180^{\circ}$ contact angle between liquid and a moving plate, in the context of a two-dimensional Couette flow. The model is given by a linear fourth-order advection-diffusion equation with an unknown velocity, which is to be determined dynamically from an additional boundary condition at the contact line. The main claim of Benilov and Vynnycky is that for any physically relevant initial condition, there is a finite positive time at w…
We report laboratory experiments on surface waves generated in a uniform fluid layer whose bottom undergoes a sudden upward motion. Simultaneous measurements of the free-surface deformation and the fluid velocity field are focused on the role of the bottom kinematics in wave generation. We observe that the fluid layer transfers bottom motion to the free surface as a temporal high-pass filter coupled with a spatial low-pass filter. Both filter effects are usually neglected in tsunami warning systems. Our results display good agreement with a prevailing linear theory without fitting parameter. B…
Experimental investigations using wind and water tunnels have long been a staple of fluid mechanics research for a large number of applications. These experiments often single out a specific physical process to be investigated, while studies involving multiscale and multi-physics processes are rare due to the difficulty and complexity in the experimental setup. In the era of climate change, there is an increasing interest in innovative experimental studies in which fluid (wind and water) tunnels are employed for modelling multiscale, multi-physics phenomena of the urban climate. High-quality f…
Acoustic waves in a slightly compressible fluid saturating porous periodic structure are studied using two complementary approaches: 1) the periodic homogenization (PH) method provides effective model equations for a general dynamic problem imposed in a bounded medium, 2) harmonic acoustic waves are studied in an infinite medium using the Floquet-Bloch (FB) wave decomposition. In contrast with usual simplifications, the advection phenomenon of the Navier-Stokes equations is accounted for. For this, an acoustic approximation is applied to linearize the advection term. The homogenization results…
A basic feature of fluid mechanics concerns the frictionless phase-space dynamics of particles in an incompressible fluid. The issue, besides its theoretical interest in turbulence theory, is important in many applications, such as the pollutant dynamics in the atmosphere, a problem relevant for civil protection monitoring of air quality. Actually, both the numerical simulation of the ABL (atmospheric boundary layer) portion of the atmosphere and that of pollutant dynamics may generally require the correct definition of the Lagrangian dynamics which characterizes arbitrary fluid elements of in…
Liquid spreading in gas-liquid concurrent trickle-bed reactors is simulated using an Eulerian twofluid CFD approach. In order to propose a model that describes exhaustively all interaction forces acting on each fluid phase with an emphasis on dispersion mechanisms, a discussion of closure laws available in the literature is proposed. Liquid dispersion is recognized to result from two main mechanisms: capillary and mechanical (Attou and Ferschneider, 2000; Lappalainen et al., 2009- The proposed model is then implemented in two trickle-bed configurations matching with two experimental set ups: I…
In this report we formulate and analyse a mathematical model describing the evolution of a thin liquid film coating a wire via an extrusion process. We consider the Navier-Stokes equations for a 2D incompressible Newtonian fluid coupled to the standard equation relating the fluid surface tension with the curvature. Taking the lubrication theory approximation and assuming steady state, the problem is reduced to a single third-order differential equation for the thin film height. An approximate analytical solution for the final film height is derived and compared with a numerical solution obtain…
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of arrhythmia with accelerated and irregular heart rate (HR), leading to both heart failure and stroke and being responsible for an increase in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In spite of its importance, the direct effects of AF on the arterial hemodynamic patterns are not completely known to date. Based on a multiscale modelling approach, the proposed work investigates the effects of AF on the local arterial fluid dynamics. AF and normal sinus rhythm (NSR) conditions are simulated extracting 2000 $\mathrm{RR}$ heartbeats and comparing t…

Liquid metals play a central role in new generation liquid metal cooled nuclear reactors, for which numerical investigations require the use of appropriate thermal turbulence models for low Prandtl number fluids. Given the limitations of traditional modelling approaches and the increasing availability of high-fidelity data for this class of fluids, we propose a Machine Learning strategy for the modelling of the turbulent heat flux. A comprehensive algebraic mathematical structure is derived and physical constraints are imposed to ensure attractive properties promoting applicability, robustness…
In this paper, we train turbulence models based on convolutional neural networks. These learned turbulence models improve under-resolved low resolution solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations at simulation time. Our study involves the development of a differentiable numerical solver that supports the propagation of optimisation gradients through multiple solver steps. The significance of this property is demonstrated by the superior stability and accuracy of those models that unroll more solver steps during training. Furthermore, we introduce loss terms based on turbulence phys…
