Highlighted Research

A comprehensive review of advances in physics-informed neural networks and their applications in complex fluid dynamics

Physics-informed neural networks combine observed data with the physical laws governing a problem. This approach offers important advantages for tackling difficult problems in complex fluid dynamics.

An analytical model for permeability of fractal tree-like branched networks composed of converging–diverging capillaries

Flow through tree-like fractal networks has received substantial attention, although most previous work assumes pores with constant cross sections. This study instead examines flow through branching networks containing several types of circular, converging–diverging channels and develops an expression for their effective permeability.

Review of deep learning-based aerodynamic shape surrogate models and optimization for airfoils and blade profiles

Rapid progress in deep learning has created significant opportunities for optimizing complex systems. In aerodynamic shape optimization, conventional CFD and experimental techniques can be constrained by computational efficiency and cost.

Thixo-elastoviscoplastic modeling of human blood

The authors develop an enhanced model of human-blood rheology that simultaneously accounts for thixotropy, viscoelastic behavior, and yield stress. Within the model, blood plasma is treated as a Newtonian solvent.

Nonlinear oscillatory rheology of aqueous suspensions of cellulose nanocrystals and nanofibrils

The study compares the nonlinear rheological behavior of aqueous suspensions containing rod-shaped cellulose nanocrystals and filament-like cellulose nanofibrils. Multiple large-amplitude oscillatory shear analysis techniques are used to characterize and contrast their responses.

Rheo-SINDy: Finding a constitutive model from rheological data for complex fluids using sparse identification for nonlinear dynamics

Rheology seeks governing relationships between deformation and stress to describe how fluids flow. Despite the importance of these constitutive equations, deriving them typically lacks a systematic approach and often depends heavily on physical intuition and costly analysis.

Improving the hydraulic performance of a high-speed submersible axial flow pump based on CFD technology

The study examines the hydraulic performance of a high-speed submersible axial-flow pump with the aim of lowering its energy consumption. It proposes a more efficient and stable optimization strategy combining parametric design, computational fluid dynamics, and computational algorithms.

Multi-objective optimization and performance analysis of the splitter blades in a multiphase pump

Helical axial-flow multiphase pumps are important equipment for deep-sea oil and gas development, but complicated two-phase flow inside them can undermine transport stability. The study adds splitter blades near the impeller's trailing region and uses multi-objective optimization to evaluate their effect on pump performance.

Investigations on affinity law under gas–liquid conditions in multistage radial and mixed-flow multiphase pumps

Pump affinity laws are widely applied to design and simulation, particularly under demanding conditions such as high temperatures and corrosive environments. Their use can shorten development time and lower experimental costs.

Microfluidic paper analytic device (μPAD) technology for food safety applications

Foodborne pathogens, adulterants, allergens, and toxic substances can create serious health risks for both humans and animals. Maintaining food safety therefore requires rigorous quality-control measures throughout every stage of food processing.

A method to prevent clogging and clustering in microfluidic systems using microbubble streaming

The study introduces a new approach for preventing clogging and particle-cluster problems inside microfluidic channels. It uses controlled three-dimensional microbubble streaming near channel constrictions to generate dynamic microflows that counter these problems.

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticle fabrication, functionalization, and biological considerations for drug delivery

Drug-delivery nanoparticles can vary greatly in size and chemical composition. They can carry many different types of drugs and can also be engineered to target particular regions of the body.
