Abstract

In order to solve the fluid-structure interaction problem of Newtonian fluid, a fluid-structure interaction approach is proposed based on Non-ordinary State-based Peridynamics (NOSB-PD) and Updated Lagrangian particle Hydrodynamics (ULPH), to simulate the fluid-structure interaction problem in which large geometric deformation and material failure are considered. In the coupled framework, the NOSB-PD theory is used to describe the deformation and fracture of the solid material structure. ULPH is applied to describe the flow of Newtonian fluids due to its advantages in computational accuracy. The framework effectively utilizes the advantages of NOSB-PD theory for solving discontinuous problems and ULPH theory for solving fluid problems and has good computational stability and robustness. To deal with the interface of fluid structure, a fluid-structure coupling algorithm using pressure as the transmission medium is established. The dynamic model of solid structure and the PD-ULPH fluid-structure interaction model involving large deformation are verified by several numerical validations, which are in good agreement with the analytical solution, the available experimental data and other numerical results, that demonstrates the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method in solving the fluid-structure interaction problem. Overall, the fluid-structure interaction model based on ULPH and NOSB-PD established in this paper provides a new idea for the numerical solution of fluid-structure interaction and a promising approach for engineering design and experimental prediction.

Data-driven low-dimensional model for the onset of turbulence in plane Couette flow

We construct low-dimensional dynamical systems for low-Reynolds-number turbulence in plane Couette flow using Kernel Quantile Regression. Exploiting the finite-dimensional structure of attractors in dissipative systems, reduced-order models are learned from direct numerical simulation data using a small set of physically meaningful observables. The resulting discrete-time models accurately reproduce periodic and chaotic dynamics near the onset of turbulence. The minimum number of variables required for accurate prediction is found to be consistent with embedding theory based on the attractor dimension. For chaotic regimes, the models capture both short-term trajectory evolution and long-term statistical properties, including probability density functions. By incorporating the Reynolds number as an additional input variable, we further develop a parameter-dependent model that successfully reproduces the bifurcation structure over a range of Reynolds numbers, including bifurcations between training points. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of machine-learning-based reduced-order modeling for capturing the essential dynamics and statistics of weakly turbulent flows.

Rapidly rotating internally heated convection: bounds on long-time averages

Convection on geophysical and astrophysical scales is subject to rapid rotation and strong heating from within the domain. In studying the long-time behaviour of the solutions for such a system, energy identities fail to capture the effects of rotation because the Coriolis force does no work, and rapid rotation can be prohibitive for direct numerical simulations. Instead, we derive an asymptotically reduced model for rapidly rotating convection driven by uniform internal heating between isothermal stress-free boundaries in a plane periodic layer. The main contribution is the proof of bounds on the mean temperature, and the mean vertical convective heat transport, in terms of the Rayleigh and Ekman numbers, in the limit of infinite Prandtl number. The first quantity represents the mixing of the flow, and the second the asymmetry in heat leaving the bottom and top boundaries due to convection, and unlike Rayleigh-Bénard convection, the two are not a priori related. We employ alternative estimation techniques to those used in previous studies (Grooms \& Whitehead, 2014 \textit{Nonlinearity}, 28, 29) and identify two distinct scaling behaviours for both quantities. Finally, our bounds are optimised, within the methodology, and provide a rigorous constraint for future studies of rotation-dominated internally heated convection.

Baroclinic wave dynamics in the Ekman-free rotating rectangular annulus with localized forced plume

We report numerical simulations of a rotating rectangular annulus that isolates the Ekman-free bulk of the cylindrical baroclinic annulus, subjected to bi-directional temperature gradients imposed by a uniformly cooled inner wall and a localized forced heated plume at the outer bottom. The finite-volume OpenFOAM solver is employed across combinations of source Richardson number $Ri_0 = 99, 4, 1$ and Rossby number $Ro = 0.3, 0.1, 0.07$. A non-dimensional scaling of the governing equations identifies geostrophic-hydrostatic balance as the leading-order bulk state, a result confirmed a posteriori by the $x$ and $z-$momentum budgets. Baroclinic waves of mode $m=2$ at $Ro=0.3$ transition to $m=3$ as $Ro$ decreases, consistent with the contraction of the Eady deformation radius $L_ρ= NH/f$; Complex Empirical Orthogonal Function (CEOF) analysis characterizes the wave regime and detects a Hopf-bifurcated vacillating state at $Ri_0 = 99,~Ro = 0.1$. The plume morphology, classified through the Morton length scale and source flux-balance parameter, transitions from weak, laterally-swept structures at $Ri_0 = 99$ to sustained columnar plumes traversing the full baroclinic depth at $Ri_0 \leq 4$. The plume entrainment coefficient $Γ(z)$ shows opposite rotational sensitivities at low and high $Ri_0$, which we organize through a local plume Rossby number $Ro_p = w/(2Ωb)$. A mixing-length argument predicts a bulk turbulent heat flux $\overline{u'T'} \propto Ri_0^{-1/2}$, anticipating an order-of-magnitude enhancement from $Ri_0 = 99$ to $Ri_0 = 1$, in agreement with the simulations. A regime map in the $(Ri_0, Ro)$ plane reveals that, within the explored range, the plume-regime and wave-selection problems are approximately separable: $Ri_0$ sets the plume regime while $Ro$ selects the dominant baroclinic wave mode.
