A blurred interface formulation of The Reference Map Technique for Fluid-Solid Interactions and Fluid-Solid-Solid Interactions
… work we present a blurred interface method for Fluid-Solid Interactions (FSI) and multiple solids immersed in a fluid or FSSI (Fluid-Solid-Solid Interactions) based on the reference map technique as presented by Kamrin and Rycroft. I will follow the chain of thought which lead from the initial …

The fluid-coupled motion of micro and nanoscale cantilevers
An understanding of the fluid coupled dynamics of micro and nanotechnology has the potential to yield significant advances yet many open and interesting questions remain. As an important example we consider the coupling of two closely spaced cantilevers immersed in a viscous fluid subject to an …

Applications of Data-Driven Learning Models in Fluid Mechanics: Solid-Fluid Multiphase Systems and Bat Flight
Fluid-solid interactions are central to numerous industrial, environmental, and biological systems, encompassing particle-laden flows in chemical processing, urban airflow, and biological locomotion. Understanding and studying these interactions is essential for optimizing engineering designs and …

Nanomechanics of cartilage at the matrix and molecular levels
… studies. Poroelasticity manifests itself via fluid-solid frictional dissipation and intra-tissue fluid pressurization that underlie important mechanical functions of cartilage, especially frequency-dependent self-stiffening, load-bearing, energy dissipation, solute and fluid transport, …

Formulation of the particle size distribution effects on the rheology and hydraulics of highly-concentrated suspensions
… signifying the physical characteristics of the solids and the vehicle fluid, and functionally related to the yield-stress and a flow parameter. Each of these expressions of the formulation contains an empirical dimensionless coefficient accounting for the interparticle and fluid/solid …

Methods for the direct simulation of nanoscale film breakup and contact angles
This thesis investigates direct simulation of fluids with free surfaces and contact lines, with a focus on capturing nanoscale physics in a continuum based computational framework. Free surfaces and contact lines have long presented some of the most challenging problems in computational fluid …

Utilization of Carbonated Water Injection (CWI) as a Means of Improved Oil Recovery in Light Oil Systems: Pore-Scale Mechanisms and Recovery Evaluation
… WINPROP is capable of accurately reproducing the fluids’ basic characteristics, as well as the properties of CO2–oil and CO2–brine mixtures, such as saturation pressure and solubility. The fluid model was incorporated into the compositional and unconventional reservoir simulator, CMG GEM, in order …

Solid-liquid interactions in microscale structures and devices
Liquid-solid interactions become important as dimensions approach mciro/nano-scale. This dissertation focuses on liquid-solid interactions in two distinct applications: capillary driven self-assembly of thin foils into 3D structures, and droplet wetting of hydrophobic micropatterned surfaces. The …
