### Clusterlike instabilities in bubble-plume-driven flows

Wed, 05/01/2019 - 11:00

Author(s): Sai Ankit Etha, Anupam Jena, and Rajaram Lakkaraju

Continuous release of gas bubbles in large numbers from a localized source in a liquid column, popularly known as “bubble plumes”, is very relevant in nature and industries. The bubble plumes morphologically consist of a long continuous stem supporting a dispersed head. Through our direct numerical ...

### Active lift inversion process of heaving wing in uniform flow by temporal change of wing kinematics

Mon, 04/29/2019 - 11:00

Author(s): Makoto Iima, Naoto Yokoyama, and Kei Senda

The transition of the vortex pattern and the lift generated by a heaving wing in a uniform flow was investigated numerically. As a fundamental problem constituting the insects' flight maneuverability, we studied the relationship between a temporal change in the heaving wing motion and the change in ...

Author(s): Magnus Vartdal and Andreas N. Osnes

In this paper the small-amplitude motion of multiple superposed viscous fluids is studied as a linearized initial-value problem. The analysis results in a closed set of equations for the Laplace transformed amplitudes of the interfaces that can be inverted numerically. The derived equations also con...

Author(s): Pablo D. Ravazzoli, Ingrith Cuellar, Alejandro G. González, and Javier A. Diez

We study the contact-angle hysteresis and morphology changes of a liquid drop sitting on a solid substrate inclined with respect to the horizontal at an angle α. This one is always smaller than the critical angle, αcrit, above which the drop would start to slide down. The hysteresis cycle is perform...

Author(s): Chad T. Wilson, Timothy L. Hall, Eric Johnsen, Lauren Mancia, Mauro Rodriguez, Jonathan E. Lundt, Tim Colonius, David L. Henann, Christian Franck, Zhen Xu, and Jonathan R. Sukovich

Experimental observations of the growth and collapse of acoustically and laser-nucleated single bubbles in water and agarose gels of varying stiffness are presented. The maximum radii of generated bubbles decreased as the stiffness of the media increased for both nucleation modalities, but the maxim...

### Uplift of an elastic membrane by a viscous flow

Thu, 04/04/2019 - 11:00

Author(s): Michael Berhanu, Adrien Guérin, Sylvain Courrech du Pont, Fiona Raoult, Rémi Perrier, and Chloé Michaut

Pumping a viscous fluid underneath an elastic sheet will cause the sheet to bulge upward. The liquid pressure is balanced by the sheet’s elasticity as well as gravity. The authors’ experiment shows reasonable agreement with two different theories, and may provide a model for the formation of magma intrusions between layers of rock.

We study the dynamics of a thin liquid film on a compliant substrate in the presence of thermocapillary effect. A set of long-wave equations are derived to investigate the effects of fluid gravity (G), fluid inertia (Re), and Marangoni stresses (Ma) on the dynamics of the liquid film and the complia...

Large-eddy simulations of thermal convection are presented and discussed for a cube with rough horizontal surfaces. Two types of roughness are considered: uniformly placed pyramids, and grooves aligned parallel to one set of sidewalls. The Rayleigh number is 108, the Prandtl number 0.7, and the aspe...

### Analog cosmology with two-fluid systems in a strong gradient magnetic field

Wed, 03/27/2019 - 10:00

Author(s): Zack Fifer, Theo Torres, Sebastian Erne, Anastasios Avgoustidis, Richard J. A. Hill, and Silke Weinfurtner

Inflation refers to the exponential expansion of the early universe that can explain many of the properties we see today. The authors of this work propose an experimental analog in which the interface between two immiscible, magnetic fluids shows inflationary behavior. The work shows that waves created at the interface could reproduce known solutions of inflationary models, and suggests a variety of other cosmological scenarios that could be simulated.

Author(s): Héctor Urra, Juan F. Marín, Milena Páez-Silva, Majid Taki, Saliya Coulibaly, Leonardo Gordillo, and Mónica A. García-Ñustes

Faraday waves are a classic example of a system in which an extended pattern emerges under spatially uniform forcing. Motivated by systems in which uniform excitation is not plausible, we study both experimentally and theoretically the effect of heterogeneous forcing on Faraday waves. Our experiment...
