Rare-Event triggered Transitions in aerodynamic bifurcation
The transitions between two states of a bistable system are investigated experimentally and analyzed in the framework of rare-event (...)

Breaking description in depth-averaged models
Depth-averaged models are one of the classic approaches for coastal wave description. Dispersive models of this type such as the fully nonlinear (...)

Pulsation dynamics in a gas-centered swirl coaxial injector
Gas-centered swirl coaxial (GCSC) injectors, in which a gaseous jet fragments an annular swirling liquid sheet, are used in the liquid (...)

Wave attractors and turbulence in large-aspect ratio domains
Internal and inertial waves are ubiquitous in the World’s oceans, and the energy that they transfer from the global tide to the (...)

Hydrodynamic instability in thermocapillary liquid bridges
The stability of thermocapillary flow in a liquid bridge made of silicone oil (high Prandtl number) is investigated using the linear (...)

Freezing impacts
Freezing flows are crucial in many different situations from plane icing to the formation of ice structures in nature. The complexity here comes from the coupling between the (...)

Bubbly drag reduction in salty turbulent Taylor Couette flows
Using the Taylor Couette geometry we experimentally investigate the effect of salt on drag reduction caused by bubbles present in (...)

Comparison of landslide tsunami models and exploration of fields of application
After earthquakes, landslides are the second cause of tsunami generation. A proper understanding is required to (...)

Momentum transport in renewable energy systems : Wind farms and solar photovoltaic plants
Renewable energy systems are an integral part of the critical need towards decreasing reliance on fossil (...)

Role of the Particle-Fluid-Particle Pressure Tensor in Gas-Liquid and Liquid-Solid Flows
Particle-particle interactions play a crucial role in the fluid dynamics of gas-liquid and liquid-solid (...)
