Droplet-triggered Faraday waves in a vertically forced bath

Fahim Tanfeez Mahmood, C. Ricardo Constante-Amores

Repeated impacts of a droplet on a vertically forced bath can produce a growing Faraday-wave response under forcing conditions for which the corresponding initially undisturbed bat…

Relative periodic orbits in spatially extended Kolmogorov turbulence: from global to localized recurrence

Yaning Liu, C. Ricardo Constante-Amores

Recurrent invariant solutions provide a dynamical framework for interpreting turbulence, but their computation becomes increasingly difficult in spatially extended flows, where clo…

Bursting bubbles in Herschel-Bulkley fluids: dynamics and jetting transitions

A. H. Ghaemi, Z. Yang, A. Huang +3

When a bubble rises to a free surface, its bursting dynamics in Newtonian fluids are governed by the interplay between viscous, capillary, and gravitational forces. In this work, w…

Elastoinertial turbulence: Data-driven reduced-order model based on manifold dynamics

Manish Kumar, C. Ricardo Constante-Amores, Michael D. Graham

Elastoinertial turbulence (EIT) is a chaotic state that emerges in the flows of dilute polymer solutions. Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of EIT is highly computationally expensi…

Predicting extreme events in a data-driven model of turbulent shear flow using an atlas of charts

Andrew J. Fox, C. Ricardo Constante-Amore, Michael D. Graham

Dynamical systems with extreme events are difficult to capture with data-driven modeling, due to the relative scarcity of data within extreme events compared to the typical dynamic…
