Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2023. The influence of the Reynolds number on the natural transition of boundary layers over underwater axisymmetric bodies is studied using numerical approaches. This is a fundamental problem in fluid mecha…
Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2023. Given the current coronavirus (COVID-19) situation around the world, we may have to face a long-term battle with coronavirus. It is necessary to prepare and stay resilient with some other techniques to…
Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2023. This paper presents a numerical investigation on the harmonic structure of hydrodynamic forces on a fixed and simplified representative floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel hull un…
Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2023. Similar to the kinetic energy cascade, a helicity cascade is also a basic and key process in the generation and evolution of the turbulent flows. Furthermore, the helicity flux (HF) plays a crucial rol…
Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2023. A cylinder test was designed for the CL-20-based aluminized explosives to study the influence of aluminum (Al) powder properties on the explosives’ metal driving performance in the direction perpendicu…
Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2023. Instabilities in a rotor system partially filled with a fluid can have an exponentially increasing amplitude, and this can cause catastrophic damage. Numerous theoretical models have been proposed, and…
Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2023. The ability of the low-rank approximation of hypersonic turbulent boundary layers with/without wall cooling is examined with the linear resolvent operator in a compressible form. The freestream Mach nu…
Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2023. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) combined with the discrete element method (DEM) are powerful tools for analyzing dense gas–solid flows. However, the computational cost of CFD–DEM will be unfeasibly …
Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2023. As an aircraft flies through cloud at temperatures below freezing, it encounters ice particles and supercooled droplets, which results in the accretion of ice onto its surfaces and hence deformation of…
Physics of Fluids, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2023. The importance of viscoelasticity of biological media that are used in medical ultrasounds has been discussed in the literature. Furthermore, the use of microbubbles in biological media drastically imp…
