Physics of Fluids features intriguing original theoretical, computational, and experimental publications to deepen our understanding of the dynamics of gases, liquids, or complex fluids.
We present a variant of the immersed boundary (IB) method that implements acoustic perturbation theory to model acoustically levitated fluid droplets. Instead of resolving sound waves numerically, ...
The development of low-permeability and tight oil reservoirs is challenged by insufficient natural energy and rapid production decline. Fracturing-flooding is a technique that relies on high-pressure ...

Understanding the dispersion of particles in enclosed spaces is crucial for controlling the spread of infectious diseases. This study introduces an innovative approach that combines an unsupervised ...
The dilution zone in modern aero-engine combustors is characterized by a strong swirling mainstream with weak transverse jets. This characteristic brings new challenges in homogenizing the ...
The interaction between droplets and a liquid pool is a widely observed fluid phenomenon with significant relevance to various industrial applications. This study numerically investigates the impact ...
Wettability of droplets and droplet impinging on sparse micropillar-arrayed polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces were experimentally investigated. For droplets wetting on these surfaces, the contact ...
Cross-diffusion effects, including Soret and Dufour effects, are enhanced around the pseudo-critical temperature ( T p c ) of a binary mixture. Their influences on heat transfer at ...
The interaction between droplets and a liquid pool is a widely observed fluid phenomenon with significant relevance to various industrial applications. This study numerically investigates the impact ...
A bounded porous box saturated with Newtonian fluid and subjected to a sinusoidal temperature gradient has various practical applications, such as solar energy storage, groundwater remediation, food ...
