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 (...)

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 (...)

The role of fluid inertia on the orientation of settling anisotropic particles - Application to cloud microphysics
Understanding the angular dynamics of non-spherical particles in turbulent (...)

Scale-by-scale turbulence energy in non-homogeneous turbulence
A theory of non-homogeneous turbulence is developed and applied to boundary-free shear flows. The theory introduces assumptions of (...)

Turbulent disperse two-phase flows : simulations and data-driven modeling
Many natural and industrial processes involve the flow of solid particles or liquid droplets whose dynamical evolution (...)

Ultimate Rayleigh-Bénard and Taylor-Couette turbulence
Rayleigh-Bénard flow - the flow in a box heated from below and cooled from above - and Taylor-Couette flow - the flow between two coaxial (...)
