We studied the hemodynamics of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) by combining laboratory experiments and numerical simulations, with a focus on potential rupture mechanisms. In particular, we investigated the influence of geometrical features—b...

This article discusses contemporary strategies to deal with immersed boundary (IB) frameworks useful for analyzing flow–structure interaction in complex settings. It focuses on immense advancements in various fields: biology, oscillation of str...

This paper revisits the theoretically predicted inherent stability of fully developed laminar pipe flow, which remains unconfirmed by experimental evidence. A recently developed theory of pipe-flow stability/instability addresses the gap between expe...

This study presents a numerical investigation into the heart valve through a fluid–structure interaction (FSI) framework using a two-dimensional, steady-state, Newtonian flow assumption. While simplified, this approach captures core biomechanic...

In turbine blade environments, the combination of blade curvature and accelerating flow gives rise to streamwise pressure gradients (SPGs), which substantially impact coolant–mainstream interactions. This study investigates the effect of SPGs o...

Cavitating flows are of great interest in the fields of hydraulic machineries, which can significantly affect mechanical performance and safety. Despite various efforts being dedicated to figuring out the interaction between flow and cavitation field...

To mitigate flood damage caused by overflow from a levee, it is essential to prevent the levee failure or extend the time to breaching. Although turfgrass on a levee slope is effective in suppressing erosion, insufficient maintenance can reduce its c...

This article presents a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study and substantiation of the hydraulic parameters of a prototype multi-gear pump. The proposed pump design, which features one drive gear and four driven gears, aims to address the...

Complex non-Newtonian glues are widely used in electrical vehicle (EV) manufacturing plants. In this paper, we focus on initial transient and compressibility issues which are closely associated with high pressure, boundary conditions, and flexible tu...

Snow and ice accumulation on transportation infrastructure presents significant safety and maintenance challenges in cold regions, while conventional removal methods are both energy-intensive and environmentally detrimental. This study proposes a pas...
