Smoothed particle hydrodynamics
… and Gingold and Monaghan [4], smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) has been used in many areas. It has grown into a widely-recognized technique with many practical applications. In this thesis, we present a new application of the SPH method: a new algorithm for computing a null divergence …

Horizons, Holography And Hydrodynamics
In this dissertation we study black-hole horizons in general relativity and in Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We generalize Wald's "black-hole entropy is the Noether charge" construction to the first-order formalism of these theories. Next we construct the "membrane paradigm" for black objects in …

Hydrodynamics of Cardiac Diastole
Left ventricular diastole (filling) is a complex process with many features and coupled compensatory mechanisms which coordinate to maintain optimal filling and ejection of the left ventricle. Diastolic filling is controlled by the left ventricular recoil, relaxation, and compliance as well as …

Elongated microswimmers: influence of hydrodynamics
Our nature is full of microscopic organisms such as algae, which are at the basis of the marine food chain and thus establish entire ecosystems, or bacteria, which are important for our nutrition and health, and also find a broad application in industrial processes. Thus, a broad research field is …

Hydrodynamics of mine impact burial
A general physics based hydrodynamic flow model is developed that predicts the three-dimensional six degrees of freedom free fall time history of a circular cylinder through the water column to impact with an unspecified bottom. Accurate vertical impact velocity and impact angle parameters are …

Interfaces in Numerical Relativistic hydrodynamics
This thesis investigates numerical techniques for modelling sharp interfaces<br/>between relativistic fluids. The motivation for this work lies in obtaining accurate<br/>models of neutron star interiors for use in multidimensional simulations<br/>in general relativity. The interior structure of a …

Hydrodynamics of aqueous humor outflow
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a leading cause of irreversible blindness resulting from elevated intraocular pressure caused by a pathologic increase in the resistance to aqueous humor outflow from the eye. Currently, the physiological and ultrastructural bases for the generation of aqueous …

Flow through Rigid Vegetation Hydrodynamics
Better understanding of the role of vegetation in the transport of fluid and pollutants requires improved knowledge of the detailed flow structure within the vegetation. Instead of spatial averaging, this study uses discrete measurements at multiple locations within the canopy to develop velocity …

The Hydrodynamics of Ferrofluid Aggregates
… of ferrofluids has evolved, many aspects of ferrohydrodynamics remain largely unexplored, especially experimentally. This study is the first to characterize the stability and internal dynamics of accumulating or dispersing ferrofluid aggregates spanning the stable, low Reynolds number behavior to …

Multiphase Hydrodynamics in Flotation Systems
Flotation is a complex, multiphase process used to separate minerals. Four problems central to the fundamentals of the flotation process were studied. A multiphase grid turbulence experiment was conducted to verify particle collision models. The slip velocities of solid particles and bubbles were …

Classical hydrodynamics of Calogero-Sutherland models
The Calogero Sutherland model is system of particle moving on a line and interacting with long-range forces. In this thesis we consider the classical case where the particles may or may not possess a spin degree of freedom. We demonstrate the intimate connection between the Calogero-Sutherland …

Causal and stable stochastic relativistic hydrodynamics
… stable formulations of stochastic relativistic hydrodynamics. Connections between causality, stability, and the foliation independence of equal-time fluctuations are used to formulate stochastic hydrodynamics in the linear regime. This approach is applied to several conventional theories of …

Hydrodynamics of Cyclogenesis from Numerical Simulations

Ponderomotive Forces in Pilot-Wave Hydrodynamics
… their self-induced pilot wave. In pilot-wave hydrodynamics (PWH), the spontaneous emergence of coherent, wave-like statistics from chaotic trajectories has been reported in several settings. Owing to the similarity of PWH to Louis de Broglie’s realist picture of quantum mechanics, the question …
