The Eulerian stochastic fields (ESF) method, which is based on the transport equation of joint subgrid scalar probability density function, applied to Large Eddy Simulation a turbulent dilute spray flame. approach coupled with tabulated chemistry represent turbulence–chemistry interaction. Following two-way Eulerian–Lagrangian procedure, treated as multitude computational parcels described in L...

The possibility to use a Lagrangian frame to solve problems with large time-steps was successfully explored previously by the authors for the solution of homogeneous incompressible fluids and also for solving multi-fluid problems [28-30]. The strategy used by the authors was named Particle Finite Element Method second generation (PFEM-2). The objective of this paper is to demonstrate in which c...

We present and analyze an implicit–explicit timestepping procedure with finite element spatial approximation for semilinear reaction–diffusion systems on evolving domains arising from biological models, such as Schnakenberg’s (1979). We employ a Lagrangian formulation of the model equations which permits the error analysis for parabolic equations on a fixed domain but introduces technical diffi...

In this paper, we revisit the claim that the Eulerian and quasi-Lagrangian same time correlation tensors are equal. This statement allows us to transform the results of an MSR quasi-Lagrangian statistical theory of hydrodynamic turbulence back to the Eulerian representation. We define a hierarchy of homogeneity symmetries between the local homogeneity of Frisch and global homogeneity. It is sho...

In this work, we compare different mesh moving techniques for monolithically-coupled fluid-structure interactions in arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian coordinates. The mesh movement is realized by solving an additional partial differential equation of harmonic, linear-elastic, or biharmonic type. We examine an implementation of time discretization that is designed with finite differences. Spatial d...

The natural occurrence of small scale structures and the extreme anisotropy in the evolution of a magnetic eld embedded in a conducting ow is interpreted in terms of the properties of the local Lyapunov exponents along the various local characteristic (un)stable directions for the Lagrangian ow trajectories. The local Lyapunov exponents and the characteristic directions are functions of Lagrang...
