Reconstructing fluid velocity fields from sparse sensors using a variational quantum algorithm
Nhat-Quang Nguyen, Mohammad Mehedi Hasan Akash, Kourosh Shoele +2
Reconstructing fields governed by nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) from sparse measurements is a challenging task because the governing equations are strongly nonlin…
Efficient Quantum Simulation of Variable-Coefficient Transport with Continuous Source Injection
Mohammad Mehedi Hasan Akash, Turag Dev, Nhat-Quang Nguyen +3
Quantum time-marching algorithms for transport PDEs often represent variable coefficients and forcing through register-expanding dilations, block-encoding oracles, or repeated post…
Model-based Optimization of Anguilliform Swimming Gaits for Soft Robotic Applications
Brian Van Stratum, James Gallentine, Caleb Rucker +3
In this paper, we introduce the Soft Lamprey-Inspired Dual Environment Robot (SLIDER) and a proper modeling and optimization procedure employed to design the robot. We represent th…
Helical Locomotion in Yield Stress Fluids
Farshad Nazari Kourosh Shoele, Hadi Mohammadigoushki
We report three stages for locomotion of a helical swimmer in yield stress fluids. In the first stage, the swimmer must overcome material's yield strain to generate rotational moti…
Cavitation Rheology of Model Yield Stress Fluids Based on Carbopol
Hadi Mohammadigoushki, Kourosh Shoele
Measuring surface tension of yield stress fluids has remained a critical challenge due to limitations of the traditional tensiometry techniques. Here, we overcome those limits and…
Pacific Lamprey Inspired Climbing
Brian Van Stratum, Kourosh Shoele, Jonathan E. Clark
Snakes and their bio-inspired robot counterparts have demonstrated locomotion on a wide range of terrains. However, dynamic vertical climbing is one locomotion strategy that has re…
The Effect of Internal Damping on Locomotion in Frictional Environments
Brian Van Stratum, Jonathan E. Clark, Kourosh Shoele
The gaits of undulating animals arise from a complex interaction of their central nervous system, muscle, connective tissue, bone, and environment. As a simplifying assumption, man…
Squirmer locomotion in a yield stress fluid
Patrick S. Eastham, Hadi Mohammadigoushki, Kourosh Shoele
An axisymmetric squirmer in a Bingham viscoplastic fluid is studied numerically to determine the effect of a yield stress environment on locomotion. The nonlinearity of the governi…
Mode Competition in a Plunging Foil with an Active Flap: A Multi-Scale Modal Analysis Approach
Tso-Kang Wang, Kourosh Shoele
The flow-induced flutter has a significant role in aircraft stability, renewable energy extraction, animal locomotion, among many other applications. While being a ubiquitous pheno…
Hybrid Wave/Current Energy Harvesting with a Flexible Piezoelectric Plate
Kourosh Shoele
We investigate the dynamics and energy production capability of a flexible piezoelectric plate submerged close to the free surface and exposed to incident head gravity waves and cu…
Formation of a strong negative wake behind a helical swimmer in a viscoelastic fluid
S. Wu, T. Solano, K. Shoele +1
We investigate the effects of helical swimmer shape (i.e., helical pitch angle and tail thickness) on swimming dynamics in a constant viscosity viscoelastic (Boger) fluid via a com…
Axisymmetric Squirmers in Stokes Fluid with Nonuniform Viscosity
Patrick S. Eastham, Kourosh Shoele
The ciliary locomotion and feeding of an axisymmetric micro-swimmer in a complex fluid whose viscosity depends on nutrient concentration are investigated numerically. The micro-swi…
