Elasto-inertial transitions in viscoelastic flows through cylinder arrays
Jack R. C. King, Henry M. Broadley, Miguel Beneitez
For dilute solutions of polymers, chaotic flow states can occur at lower Reynolds numbers than required for inertial turbulence in Newtonian fluids, offering the potential for incr…
Uncertainty in Elastic Turbulence
Jack R. C. King, Robert J. Poole, Cláudio P. Fonte +1
Elastic turbulence can lead to to increased flow resistance, mixing and heat transfer. Its control -- either suppression or promotion -- has significant potential, and there is a c…
High-order mesh-free direct numerical simulation of lean hydrogen flames in confined geometries
H. M. Broadley, S. J. Lind, J. R. C. King
Here we perform the first analysis of high-fidelity simulations of the propagation of lean hydrogen flames through porous media, taking cylindrical arrays a representative example…
A new complex fluid flow phenomenon: Bubbles-on-a-String
Thomas P. John, Jack R. C. King, Steven J. Lind +1
A liquid jet plunging into a quiescent bath of the same liquid is a fundamental fluid mechanical problem underpinning a range of processes in industry and the natural world. Signif…
A mesh-free framework for high-order simulations of viscoelastic flows in complex geometries
Jack R. C. King, Steven J. Lind
The accurate and stable simulation of viscoelastic flows remains a significant computational challenge, exacerbated for flows in non-trivial and practical geometries. Here we prese…
