Coupled Rayleigh--Taylor and Faraday instabilities in vertically vibrated cylindrical containers

Tianyi Chu, Benjamin Wilfong, Timothy Koehler +2

Interfacial instabilities govern the mixing in confined multiphase flows. Yet, the two mechanisms that drive them are usually studied independently: the pressure-gradient-driven Ra…

Energy dissipation mechanisms in an acoustically-driven slit

Haocheng Yu, Tianyi Chu, Spencer H. Bryngelson

We quantify how incident acoustic energy is converted into vortical motion and viscous dissipation for a two-dimensional plane-wave passing through a slit geometry. We perform dire…

Hardware-Accelerated Phase-Averaging for Cavitating Bubbly Flows

Diego Vaca-Revelo, Benjamin Wilfong, Spencer H. Bryngelson +1

We present a comprehensive validation, performance characterization, and scalability analysis of a hardware-accelerated phase-averaged multiscale solver designed to simulate acoust…

Competing Mechanisms at Vibrated Interfaces of Density-Contrast Fluids

Tianyi Chu, Benjamin Wilfong, Timothy Koehler +2

Fluid--fluid interfacial instability and subsequent fluid mixing are ubiquitous in nature and engineering. The hydrodynamic instability of fluid interfaces has long centered on the…

Incompressible Navier-Stokes solve on noisy quantum hardware via a hybrid quantum-classical scheme

Zhixin Song, Robert Deaton, Bryan Gard +1

Partial differential equation solvers are required to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid flow. Recently, algorithms have been proposed to simulate fluid dynamics on quantu…
