Flow instability in Stokes layer of Carreau fluids

Mengqi Zhang, Dongdong Wan, Huanshu Tan

This study investigates the influence of shear-thinning on the instability of a prototype time-periodic flow, the Stokes layer, in Carreau fluids. The time-dependent base flow was…

Asymptotic-analysis-inspired boundary conditions aiming at eliminating polymer diffusive instability

Ming Dong, Dongdong Wan

The recent discovery of polymer diffusive instability (PDI) by Beneitez et al. (Phys. Rev. Fluids, 2023, 8: L101901) poses challenges in implementing artificial conformation diffus…

A Diffuse-Interface Marangoni Instability

Xiangwei Li, Dongdong Wan, Haohao Hao +3

We investigate a novel Marangoni-induced instability that arises exclusively in diffuse fluid interfaces, absent in classical sharp-interface models. Using a validated phase-field…

Numerical solutions of fixed points in two-dimensional Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation expedited by reinforcement learning

Juncheng Jiang, Dongdong Wan, Mengqi Zhang

This paper presents a combined approach to enhancing the effectiveness of Jacobian-Free Newton-Krylov (JFNK) method by deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in identifying fixed points…

Linear instability in thermally-stratified quasi-Keplerian flows

Dongdong Wan, Rikhi Bose, Mengqi Zhang +1

Quasi-Keplerian flow, a special regime of Taylor-Couette co-rotating flow, is of great astrophysical interest for studying angular momentum transport in accretion disks. The well-k…

Marangoni Interfacial Instability Induced by Solute Transfer Across Liquid-Liquid Interfaces

Xiangwei Li, Dongdong Wan, Mengqi Zhang +1

This study presents analytical and numerical investigations of Marangoni interfacial instability in a two-liquid-layer system with constant solute transfer across the interface. Wh…

On the large-Weissenberg-number scaling laws in viscoelastic pipe flows

Dongdong Wan, Ming Dong, Mengqi Zhang

This work explains a scaling law of the first Landau coefficient of the derived Ginzburg-Landau equation (GLE) in the weakly nonlinear analysis of axisymmetric viscoelastic pipe fl…

Nonlinear spatiotemporal instabilities in two-dimensional electroconvective flows

Zhe Feng, Dongdong Wan, Bo-Fu Wang +1

This work studies the effects of a through-flow on two-dimensional electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flows of a dielectric liquid confined between two plane plates, as a model problem to f…

Subcritical and supercritical bifurcations in axisymmetric viscoelastic pipe flows

Dongdong Wan, Guangrui Sun, Mengqi Zhang

Axisymmetric viscoelastic pipe flow of Oldroyd-B fluids has been recently found to be linearly unstable by Garg et al. Phys. Rev. Lett., 121.024502 (2018). From a nonlinear point o…
