Magneto-Stokes flow in a shallow free-surface annulus

CS David, EW Hester, Y Xu, JM Aurnou - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
In this study, we analyse 'magneto-Stokes' flow, a fundamental magnetohydrodynamic
(MHD) flow that shares the cylindrical-annular geometry of the Taylor–Couette cell but uses …

Shear dispersion of multispecies electrolyte solutions in the channel domain

L Ding - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
In multispecies electrolyte solutions, even in the absence of an external electric field,
differences in ion diffusivities induce an electric potential and generate additional fluxes for …

Diffusion-driven flows in a nonlinear stratified fluid layer

L Ding - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
Diffusion-driven flow is a boundary layer flow arising from the interplay of gravity and
diffusion in density-stratified fluids when a gravitational field is non-parallel to an …

Dispersion induced by unsteady diffusion-driven flow in a parallel-plate channel

L Ding, RM McLaughlin - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
Diffusion-driven flow is a boundary layer flow that results from the combined influence of
gravity and diffusion, which exists in density-stratified fluids whenever a gravitational field is …

Correlation Function of a Random Scalar Field Evolving with a Rapidly Fluctuating Gaussian Process

L Ding, RM McLaughlin - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2023 - Springer
We consider a scalar field governed by an advection–diffusion equation (or a more general
evolution equation) with rapidly fluctuating, Gaussian distributed random coefficients. In the …

Hamiltonian shocks

R Arnold, R Camassa, L Ding - Studies in Applied Mathematics, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Wave propagation in the form of fronts or kinks, a common occurrence in a wide range of
physical phenomena, is studied in the context of models defined by their Hamiltonian …

Scalar Transport and Mixing

L Ding - 2022 - search.proquest.com
This dissertation focuses on scalar transport and mixing, stratified fluid and related
numerical problems. In the first part, we aim to answer the question: How does a …
