Beyond Phase Reduction: Amplitude Collapse in Optimal Control of Coupled Oscillators

Faranak Rajabi, Frédéric Gibou, Jeff Moehlis

We solve the four-dimensional Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation for two diffusively coupled Stuart-Landau-like oscillators to obtain full-state optimal feedback control. A swe…

A model for slip and drag in turbulent flows over superhydrophobic surfaces with surfactant

Samuel D. Tomlinson, François Peaudecerf, Fernando Temprano-Coleto +4

Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) can reduce the friction drag in turbulent flows. In the laminar regime, it has been shown that trace amounts of surfactant can negate this drag red…

A Sharp Numerical Method for the Simulation of Stefan Problems with Convective Effects

Elyce Bayat, Raphael Egan, Daniil Bochkov +2

We present a numerical method for the solution of interfacial growth governed by the Stefan model coupled with incompressible fluid flow. An algorithm is presented which takes spec…

Laminar drag reduction in surfactant-contaminated superhydrophobic channels

Samuel D. Tomlinson, Frédéric Gibou, Paolo Luzzatto-Fegiz +3

While superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) show promise for drag reduction applications, their performance can be compromised by traces of surfactant, which generate Marangoni stresses…

A non-parametric shape optimization approach for solving inverse problems in directed self-assembly of block copolymers

Daniil Bochkov, Frederic Gibou

In this work we consider the inverse problem of finding guiding pattern shapes that result in desired self-assembly morphologies of block copolymer melts. Specifically, we model po…

A single parameter can predict surfactant impairment of superhydrophobic drag reduction

Fernando Temprano-Coleto, Scott M. Smith, François J. Peaudecerf +3

Recent experimental and computational investigations have shown that trace amounts of surfactants, unavoidable in practice, can critically impair the drag reduction of superhydroph…

PDE-Based Multidimensional Extrapolation of Scalar Fields over Interfaces with Kinks and High Curvatures

Daniil Bochkov, Frederic Gibou

We present a PDE-based approach for the multidimensional extrapolation of smooth scalar quantities across interfaces with kinks and regions of high curvature. Unlike the commonly u…

A theory for the slip and drag of superhydrophobic surfaces with surfactant

Julien R. Landel, François J. Peaudecerf, Fernando Temprano-Coleto +3

Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) have the potential to reduce drag at solid boundaries. However, multiple independent studies have recently shown that small amounts of surfactant,…
