A Lattice Boltzmann method is applied to demonstrate the comparison results of simulating natural convection in an open end cavity using different hydrodynamic and thermal boundary conditions. The Prandtl number in the present simulation is 0.71, Rayleigh numbers are 104,105 and 106 and viscosities are selected 0.02 and 0.05. On-Grid bounce-back method with first-order accuracy and non-slip met...

The non-equilibrium structural and dynamical properties of flexible polymers confined in a square microchannel and exposed to a Poiseuille flow are investigated by mesoscale simulations. The chain length and the flow strength are systematically varied. Two transport regimes are identified, corresponding to weak and strong confinement. For strong confinement, the transport properties are indepen...

the johor strait is an estuarine system located on the coast of the state of johor in malaysia.the western part of johor strait is a shallow estuarine located between causeway and pulai river. ahydrodynamic model was calibrated based on the environmental fluid dynamic code (efdc) from 4th to 17th of october, 2009. in this calibration, the efdc hydrodynamic model was configured to simulate time ...

Considering the magneto-hydrodynamic equations in a non-relativistic multi uid framework, we study the behavior of small amplitude perturbations in cold quark matter. Magneto-hydrodynamic equations, along with a suitable equation of state for the cold quark matter, are expanded using the reductive perturbation method. It is shown that in small amplitude approximation, such a medium should be co...

The spatial extent and temporal decay of copepod-generated hydrodynamic disturbances during cruise and escape behavior were examined using the particle image velocimetry technique combined with theoretical models. Our study compared results for two species in the genus Euchaeta: the larger E. elongata living in colder water of higher viscosity versus the smaller E. rimana living in warmer water...

A new general three-dimensional hydrodynamic–magnetic boundary integral formulation for a magnetic free surfaces in viscous flows at low Reynolds numbers is developed. The formulation is based on an extension of the Lorentz reciprocal theorem for the incompressible flow of a magnetic fluid. Combining the reciprocal theorem and the fundamental solution of a creeping flow we obtain the integral r...

The aim of this paper is to present a finite volume kinetic method to compute the transport of a passive pollutant by a flow modeled by the shallow water equations using a new time discretization that allows large time steps for the pollutant computation. For the hydrodynamic part the kinetic solver ensures – even in the case of a non flat bottom – the preservation of the steady state of a lake...

Bacterial communities attached to surfaces under fluid flow represent a widespread lifestyle of the microbial world. Through shear stress generation and molecular transport regulation, hydrodynamics conveys effects that are very different by nature but strongly coupled. To decipher the influence of these levers on bacterial biofilms immersed in moving fluids, we quantitatively and simultaneousl...

Hydrodynamic stability plays a crucial role for many applications. Existing approaches focus on the dependence of the stability properties on control parameters such as the Reynolds or the Rayleigh number. In this paper we propose a numerical method which aims at solving shape optimization problems in the context of hydrodynamic stability. The considered approach allows to guarantee hydrodynami...
