The transition of strictly two-dimensional Poiseuille flow from one-frequency amplitude-modulated states to chaotic behaviour is studied through full numerical simulation of spatially periodic channels with large longitudinal ...

The aim of this Bachelor's Thesis is the study of a particular low-energy localized plane Poiseuille solution while minimizing the error introduced by the streamwise periodicity boundary condition. The fact that the ...

Transition to turbulence is one of the oldest problems yet to be solved in physics and engineering. Certain fluid systems are known to undergo a laminar-turbulent transition through a deterministic route of laminar flows ...

Turbulence is one of the major concerns for most technological problems involving fluid motion. Specially in aeronautics, a turbulent boundary layer results in structural stresses, vibrations and higher aircraft drag, ...

The interaction between fluid flows and the deformation of solid structures is important in many engineering applications, as in turbochargers, wind turbines or airplane wings. The flow of blood in the body is also an ...

This project studies the flow of a fluid inside an infinite pipe with periodically forced extensional walls in the axial direction. The Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible fluid inside the pipe are solved to ...

In the last years the major cause of death worldwide has turned out to be because of cardiovascular diseases; for instance, owing to the presence of blood turbulence in our vessels. The problem has already been addressed ...
