Abstract The study of boundary-layer transition and turbulence plays a crucial role in the development and design of high-speed aircrafts. Direct numerical simulation (DNS) is a numerical tool that enables the capture of flow phenomena across all scales, making it highly valuable for investigating the mechanism and process of transition and turbulence. In the DNS community, the prevailing approach involves directly resolving the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations. However, certain high-order effects lie beyond the capabilities of NS models when simulating compressible transition and turbulence under specific circumstances. To address this limitation, we have developed a DNS method… More >

Abstract We developed a unique method for direct numerical simulations (DNS) of dense colloidal dispersions [3, 5]. This method, called the smoothed profile method (SPM), enables us to compute the time evolutions of colloidal particles, ions, and host fluids simultaneously by solving Newton, advection-diffusion, and Navier-Stokes equations so that the electro- hydrodynamic couplings can be fully taken into account. We have applied the SPM successfully for simulating dynamics of various particle dispersions, including colloids in liquid crystals [1, 2], electrophoresis of charged colloids [4, 5], particle diffusion in fluids [7, 8], dispersion rheology [9, 11], tumbling More >
