First observation of the Josephson-Anderson relation in experiments on hydrodynamic drag

Nicola Savelli, Ali R Khojasteh, Abel-John Buchner +2

We verify a recent prediction (Eq. 3.50 in G. L. Eyink, Phys. Rev. X 11, 031054 (2021)) for the drag on an object moving through a fluid. In this prediction the velocity field is d…

The effect of the Stokes boundary layer on the dynamics of particle pairs in an oscillatory flow

T. J. J. M. van Overveld, W. -P. Breugem, H. J. H. Clercx +1

The alignment of a pair of spherical particles perpendicular to a horizontally oscillating flow is attributed to a non-zero residual flow, known as steady streaming. This phenomeno…

Analysis and modeling of localized invariant solutions in pipe flow

Paul Ritter, Stefan Zammert, Bruno Eckhardt +1

Turbulent spots surrounded by laminar flow are a landmark of transitional shear flows, but the dependence of their kinematic properties on spatial structure is poorly understood. W…

Laser impact on a drop

Alexander L. Klein, Claas Willem Visser, Wilco Bouwhuis +6

The impact of a laser pulse on a highly absorbing liquid drop can lead to a violent response: the drop is accelerated, strongly deforms, and eventually fragments. Shock waves, the…
