New JFM Paper on Resolvent Analysis for Shock-Laden Flows
Congratulations to former PhD student and now Dr. Sandeep Murthy on his publication of Resolvent Analysis for Shock-Laden Flows in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics. Through detailed and inspired analysis, Sandeep shows how to properly interpret the input-output-gain structure of the linearized Navier-Stokes operator in the presence of a shock wave using inviscid, viscous, and […]
Newly published paper on non-equilibrium chemistry model reduction receives Editor’s Pick from Physics of Plasmas
The just-accepted paper “Petrov-Galerkin model reduction for collisional-radiative argon plasma,” written by (now Dr.) Ivan Zanardi and Dr. Alby Padovan was chosen by Physics of Plasmas for its Editor’s Pick! Congratulations Ivan and Alby!
New JFM article on differential ablation
In our study of the origins of patterned formations on sublimating and ablating bodies, our local linear stability analysis has uncovered (what appears to be) the first known physical mechanism of their formation via differential ablation in laminar flows. More details on arXiv and a forthcoming article in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics. Congratulations to […]
