A discrete Boltzmann model with state-dependent power-law relaxation time for nonequilibrium transport in compressible flows

Abstract: Thermodynamic nonequilibrium effects play a central role in momentum and energy transport in compressible flows. In conventional BGK kinetic models, the relaxation time $\tau$ is taken as a constant, which neglects the dependence of the relaxation process on local macroscopic states. To overcome this limitation, we develop a discrete Boltzmann model with a density- and temperature-dependent power-law relaxation time, termed DTRT-DBM, in which $\tau=\tau_0(\rho/\rho_0)^a(T/T_0)^b$. This formulation extends the discrete Boltzmann framework to flows with spatially varying nonequilibrium intensity. The model is validated by the Sod shock tube and by analytical solutions for viscous stress and heat flux, demonstrating accurate recovery of both macroscopic wave structures and nonequilibrium quantities across shock waves, rarefaction waves, and contact discontinuities. On this basis, phase diagrams of viscous stress and heat flux are constructed to examine how these quantities depend on the power-law exponents $a$ and $b$. The extrema of these quantities depend exponentially on the model parameters and exhibit regime-dependent behaviour. The roles of $a$ and $b$ are not symmetric: the nonequilibrium response is more sensitive to $a$ when density gradients dominate, but more sensitive to $b$ when temperature gradients dominate. Within the parameter range and flow configurations examined here, higher-order viscous stress increases the growth rate of the total viscous-stress extremum, whereas higher-order heat flux reduces the growth rate of the total heat-flux extremum. These results show that the proposed model can capture different higher-order nonequilibrium responses in compressible flows and provides a framework for the modelling and analysis of multiscale nonequilibrium processes.

Mapping the Turn: An Eulerian Binormal-Axis Diagnostic for Recirculating 3D Flows

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) recirculating flows are often interpreted qualitatively from selected streamline visualizations. In separated flows, such recirculating motion is central to the drag modulation, but the local orientation of recirculation remains difficult to quantify in a field-based form. This work introduces an Eulerian binormal-axis diagnostic that locally evaluates the orientation of streamline turning at each point in the velocity field, yielding a spatially resolved field of the recirculating direction. Motivated by the Frenet-Serret binormal direction of a curved streamline, the diagnostic uses the velocity vector and its convective acceleration to extract the local streamline-turning axis without requiring explicit streamline integration. The resulting direction is encoded with barycentric RGB weights to visualize streamwise, spanwise, and wall-normal turning axis contributions. The diagnostic is first applied to Hill's spherical vortex, which provides a controlled analytic example of 3D recirculating motion for interpreting the binormal-axis direction and the associated barycentric RGB encoding. It is then applied to the mean field of a pressure-gradient-induced 3D separation bubble. The resulting visualizations show that the diagnostic reveals orientation changes that are not apparent from streamline visualization. The proposed diagnostic therefore converts qualitative streamline impressions into a spatially resolved measure of local streamline-turning orientation, providing a quantitative complement to conventional 3D flow visualization.

Sidewall effects on the onset of interfacial Holmboe waves in stratified exchange flows at high Schmidt number

Abstract: Predicting the onset of interfacial instabilities is central to understanding turbulent mixing in natural and engineered stratified shear flows. Here, we study the onset of travelling Holmboe waves in confined exchange flows along a slope. Earlier stratified inclined duct experiments have mapped this transition, and stability analyses based on measured or prescribed profiles have explained their emergence. However, a predictive criterion linking forcing, geometry, base flow, and wave onset was still lacking. We closed this gap with a long-duct, sharp-interface asymptotic theory for the three-dimensional laminar exchange flow, including the effects of sidewall friction. The resulting analytical solution naturally identifies a confinement-adjusted Froude number, $Fr^*$, which unifies the effects of forcing and confinement into a single measure of the effective laminar exchange flow. Using this solution to parameterise sidewall drag in a practical width-averaged model, we perform linear stability analyses and numerical simulations at high Schmidt number. Together, linear stability analysis, direct numerical simulations, and existing experiments across a range of duct widths show that wave onset is accurately predicted by an approximately constant critical value of $Fr^*$. Deviations arise only in very narrow ducts, where sidewalls influence instability not only by modifying the laminar exchange flow but also by directly damping perturbations and delaying wave onset. These findings provide a predictive criterion for wave onset, reconcile long-standing discrepancies among experimental configurations, and establish lateral confinement as a fundamental control on the transition from laminar exchange to wave-driven mixing in stratified shear flows.

Discrete Boltzmann model at Burnett level for compressible multicomponent flows under external forces

Abstract: This work extends the Burnett-level discrete Boltzmann model (DBM) from single-component to multicomponent compressible flows under external forces, building on the fundamental framework of the high-precision discrete kinetic method. A high-isotropy 25-discrete-velocity set is adopted to guarantee numerical stability and spatial symmetry, while a rigorous moment-matching strategy is developed to construct the equilibrium distribution function and external force term. Different from the single-component counterpart, the present model intrinsically incorporates interspecies mass diffusion effects and multi-component thermodynamic nonequilibrium behaviors, which are critical for complex compressible multicomponent systems. The Chapman--Enskog expansion verifies that the proposed model can exactly recover the Burnett-level governing equations for forced multicomponent compressible flows in the continuum limit. Five canonical benchmark cases, including multicomponent mass diffusion, compressible Sod shock tube, thermal Couette flow, Kelvin--Helmholtz instability, and Rayleigh--Taylor instability, are systematically performed. Numerical results demonstrate that the developed Burnett-level multicomponent DBM achieves high accuracy and robustness in capturing both hydrodynamic evolution and multicomponent nonequilibrium characteristics under external forces.

Cavitation Acoustic Perturbation Equations: A Computational Framework for Source-Resolved Multiphase Hydroacoustics
Zhi Cheng, Rajeev K. Jaiman

arXiv:2607.19567v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This work develops a cavitation-consistent acoustic perturbation framework for predicting sound generation and propagation in cavitating flows. Unlike conventional acoustic perturbation equations for single-phase or weakly compressible flows, the proposed formulation embeds cavitation physics directly into the acoustic equations. The cavitation acoustic perturbation equations (CAPE) incorporate vapor mass transfer, mixture compressibility, and pressure-rate effects within a unified formulation, allowing cavitation-induced noise sources to be resolved in the computational domain. The numerical framework is verified using one-dimensional wave-propagation problems. The solutions become insensitive to further mesh and time-step refinement, the perfectly matched layer suppresses boundary reflections, and the predicted attenuation over a range of source frequencies follows Stokes' sound attenuation law. The framework is then applied to cavitating flow past a circular cylinder and a NACA hydrofoil. The non-cavitating benchmark shows dipole-like radiation associated with unsteady loading, whereas cavitating cases exhibit monopole-like or geometry-modulated radiation caused by volumetric phase change. Source-term analyses identify tonal frequencies associated with vortex shedding, cavity shedding, and collapse-induced excitation. The phase-change terms provide a direct volumetric contribution to the monopole-like source, while localized collapse events appear through amplification of the pressure-rate source. The proposed framework extends acoustic perturbation methods to cavitating multiphase flows and provides an efficient tool for hydroacoustic prediction, source localization, and mechanism analysis in marine and hydraulic applications.

Conditional Normalizing Flow for Gas-Surface Scattering from Thermal to Hypersonic Velocities

Abstract: Accurate aerodynamic modeling of satellites in very low Earth orbit (VLEO) requires gas-surface interaction (GSI) models that capture the full velocity spectrum from thermal to orbital speeds. Atmospheric particles initially strike spacecraft surfaces at hypersonic velocities of 6 000 - 10 000 m/s. Due to surface roughness and complex geometries, especially within air-breathing electric propulsion (ABEP) intake systems, multiple collisions occur, progressively reducing the particle velocities. A recent machine learning framework for deriving scattering kernels from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations has shown promise, but remains limited to high-velocity single impacts and possibly violates fundamental equilibrium principles such as detailed balance. This work extends this machine learning based scattering kernel to cover the complete velocity range using conditional normalizing flows trained with physics-informed constraints, enabling accurate modeling of multi-bounce scenarios in realistic VLEO applications. We train a conditional Real-valued Non-Volume Preserving (cRealNVP) model on expanded molecular dynamics simulations covering velocities from thermal to hypersonic speeds, incorporating a detailed balance loss term. The resulting model demonstrates improved accuracy compared to previous approaches even in the original high-velocity regime, while successfully capturing thermal-velocity scattering. Quantitative assessment shows that thermalization is approximated within acceptable tolerances. This framework provides essential capabilities for accurate ABEP intake optimization and VLEO mission planning while offering a general methodology applicable to broader rarefied gas dynamics problems requiring thermodynamic consistency.

Abstract: We present a theoretical framework for unidirectional electromagnetohydrodynamic flow of dilute electrolytes under perpendicular magnetic fields. Starting from the Navier--Stokes equation coupled with the Poisson--Nernst--Planck formulation, we show that the problem admits a sequential decoupling: the Stokes equation is solved first to obtain the velocity profile, which defines a hydrodynamic potential entering the Nernst--Planck description of ions. This Lorentz-force-induced potential competes with electrostatic attraction and significantly alters ionic distributions. We analyze this mechanism in two canonical geometries. In planar Couette shear, it produces a Manning--Oosawa-like condensation transition in one dimension, a phenomenon absent in classical electrostatics. We derive an eigenvalue equation predicting a sharp threshold between counterion enrichment and depletion at the charged wall. In cylindrical Taylor--Couette flow, the same effect shifts the classical Manning criterion by a magnetic parameter, enabling tunable control of condensation. These findings extend Manning--Oosawa phenomenology to driven, non-equilibrium systems and provide a basis for magnetic manipulation of screening in electrolytes, with implications for microfluidics, electrochemical systems, and nonlinear boundary-value theory.

Self-focusing of helicity drives finite-time singularities in inviscid flows

Abstract: This paper deals with the longstanding quest of the possible existence of finite-time singularities in the equations governing the dynamics of inviscid fluids, namely, Euler equations. Here, two contributions are brought for the case of perfect fluids with finite initial energy. First, a self-similar velocity field inspired by Leray Ansatz is proposed which allows for a separation of variables that transforms the original partial differential Euler equations to a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations. This system can be solved semi-analytically and allows a continuum set of solutions parametrised by a self-similar exponent, $\nu$. Second, we use the conservation laws of Euler equations to select the possible finite-time singular solutions and the related self-similar exponents. We find that the helicity is the driving mechanism of the blow-up through a self-focusing mechanism. The flow near the singularity separates into two phases. A first phase is within a tubular region that shrinks as a power-law $(t_c-t)^\nu$, with $t_c$ the blow-up time, where the helicity is focused. This region is separated by a sharp interface from an outer region where the vorticity, and thus helicity, is identically zero. We found that the finite-time singularity may be either point-like or line-like depending on the dynamics of the tubular region along its axis of symmetry. Incidentally for a point-like singularity we recover the Leray scaling $\nu=1/2$ paving the way to a generalisation of this approach for the Navier-Stokes equations. Finally, we conjecture that if the helicity vanishes initially, no finite-time singularity would be possible, since in this case the singularity occurs at infinite time from the initial condition.

Abstract: A central challenge in hydrodynamic turbulence is identifying precisely when, and at which length scales, strong turbulent fluctuations (STFs) emerge and develop into intermittent events, which are often obscured by conventional statistical diagnostics. We address this problem by applying a Topological Data Analysis (TDA) framework to reveal the spatiotemporal signatures of intermittency in low-resolution ($128^3$) helically rotating turbulent flows. Vorticity magnitude and length-scale (eddy size) fields are used as scalar observables for TDA: vorticity characterizes rotational dynamics that generate multiscale flow structures, while length-scale fields encode the scales at which intermittent activity arises. Their evolving topology is quantified using persistence diagrams and Wasserstein-distance metrics. Compared with traditional statistical approaches, this framework is more sensitive to localized and short-lived flow variations, enabling clearer detection of intermittent behavior. Pronounced variations in Wasserstein-distance heatmaps provide direct signatures of STFs across space and time. Together, these results demonstrate that TDA offers an effective complementary tool for detecting STFs that lead to intermittency within turbulent regime.

Abstract: We describe a high-order ADER-DG solver for the compressible Euler equations within the ExaHyPE framework. The implementation combines a high-order ADER-DG polynomial representation, a local space-time DG predictor, adaptive mesh refinement, and an a posteriori subcell finite-volume limiter. We test the code on a deliberately mixed set of one- and two-dimensional problems: a strong-shock Sod-type problem, the Shu-Osher shock-entropy interaction, the Woodward-Colella blast wave, a contact-driven vortex sheet, and a shock-interface interaction. The one-dimensional cases recover the expected Euler wave patterns and show clear order-dependent gains in smooth and oscillatory regions. The two-dimensional cases probe a different part of the method, namely contact preservation, shear-driven roll-up, baroclinic vorticity deposition, and Richtmyer-Meshkov-type growth. In these tests the high-order update gives the expected resolution away from discontinuities, whereas the subcell limiter keeps the calculation stable near shocks and steep interfaces. The resulting code provides a reproducible ExaHyPE implementation for idealised inviscid, non-relativistic flows in which shocks, contacts, and multidimensional interfaces are the dominant features.

Information Transport and Observability in Compressible Aerodynamics

Abstract: Pressure measurements provide sparse but direct observations of compressible aerodynamic flows, yet how information about hidden aerodynamic parameters is transported through the flow and encoded in these observations remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate information transport and observability in compressible aerodynamics using a differentiable shock-capturing immersed-boundary solver. By propagating gradients through the full unsteady flow solution, an automatic-differentiation-based observability metric is introduced to quantify the sensitivity of sparse pressure measurements to unknown aerodynamic parameters and identify informative sensing locations for inverse learning. The results reveal that aerodynamic information is transported non-uniformly through the flow field, producing localized regions of high observability. Inverse-learning experiments further demonstrate that observability and learnability are related but distinct concepts: although highly observable probes generally facilitate accurate parameter recovery, the highest-observability probe is not consistently the most effective for parameter inference. Furthermore, both the flow regime and the airfoil geometry substantially influence the distribution of observability and the convergence behavior of inverse learning. These findings establish a quantitative framework for understanding how aerodynamic information is encoded in sparse measurements and demonstrate the potential of automatic differentiation for observability analysis, informative sensor selection, and aerodynamic inverse analysis.

A formal log(Re)-cost framework for the engineering turbulence problem

Abstract: In fluid engineering, the turbulence problem is the longstanding challenge of obtaining accurate predictions of engineering quantities at affordable computational cost. Viewed through computational complexity, a practical algorithm requires cost growth no worse than $O(N)$, where $N$ denotes problem size. For turbulent flows, the problem size may be approximated by the number of dynamically relevant scales and hence by the Reynolds number $Re$. We propose a multi-fidelity, physics-constrained, data-driven framework designed to meet this criterion under stated assumptions. We augment the Spalart--Allmaras model through field inversion and machine learning using a constrained formulation that preserves the law of the wall. The model is trained at a low Reynolds number, where high-fidelity data are affordable, and deployed at higher Reynolds numbers. For a mean-flow-aligned grid in a wall-bounded flow, fixed spanwise resolution, and steady-solver cost linear in grid-point count, the low-fidelity RANS prediction scales as $O(\log(Re))$. The high-fidelity calculation and learning stage each contribute $O(Re^0)$ relative to the target Reynolds number, giving an overall formal cost of $O(\log(Re))$. In plane channel flow, a model trained at $Re_\tau=1000$ corrects the wake-layer error of the baseline model and retains the improvement at $Re_\tau=5200$. In the periodic hill, a model trained at $Re_b=5600$ is tested at $Re_b=10595$, $19000$, and $37000$. The constrained formulation preserves separation and recovery behavior as Reynolds number increases, yields the lowest root-mean-square error across all tests, and exhibits nearly Reynolds-number-independent error, indicating robust extrapolation.
