Acoustic-Assisted Fabrication of Thin Shells with Spatially Distributed Imperfections
Ilyes Krida, Jacob Tang, Daniel Floryan +1
Thin-shell structures, found in biological systems such as beetle carapaces and widely used in aerospace, civil, and mechanical engineering, achieve remarkable strength-to-mass rat…
Effects of symmetry and hydrodynamics on the cohesion of groups of swimmers
Mohamed Niged Mabrouk, Daniel Floryan
When groups of inertial swimmers move together, hydrodynamic interactions play a key role in shaping their collective dynamics, including the cohesion of the group. To explore how…
Group cohesion and passive dynamics of a pair of inertial swimmers with three-dimensional hydrodynamic interactions
Mohamed Niged Mabrouk, Daniel Floryan
When swimming animals form cohesive groups, they can reap several benefits. Our understanding of collective animal motion has traditionally been driven by models based on phenomeno…
Particle Re-Suspension in Two-Phase Dispersed Rayleigh-Bénard Convection
Xianyang Chen, Rodolfo Ostilla Monico, Daniel Floryan +1
The process by which particles are entrained by the fluid in Rayleigh-Bénard convection is studied by means of particle-resolved numerical simulations in a periodic domain at a Ra…
