Dynamic Mode Decomposition and Its Variants

Peter J. Schmid

Summary: Dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) is a technique for factorization and dimensionality reduction of data sequences, which simplifies complex evolution processes to their dominant features and essential components. It has been widely applied in various fields beyond fluid dynamics as well.

Fluid viscoelasticity suppresses chaotic convection and mixing due to electrokinetic instability

C. Sasmal

Summary: In a microfluidic device with two fluids of different electrical conductivities transported side by side under the influence of an electric field, an electrokinetic instability (EKI) can be generated, leading to chaotic flow fields and enhancing mixing if the fluids are Newtonian. However, this chaotic convection can be suppressed in viscoelastic fluids due to the formation of high elastic stress chains at the fluid interface. This suppression inhibits mixing of the viscoelastic fluids, cautioning against the use of EKI for such fluids.

Enhanced electroosmotic mixing of non-Newtonian fluids in a heterogeneous surface charged micromixer with obstacles

Sumit Kumar Mehta et al.

Summary: This study investigates the mixing and hydrodynamic characteristics of a pure electroosmotic flow of non-Newtonian fluid through a nonuniformly charged micromixer with obstacles arranged in staggered and inline orders. The results show that the rheology of the fluids and the formation of recirculatory zones strongly influence the mixing efficiency. The presence of heterogeneous charged surfaces enhances the mixing, especially for shear-thickening fluids and staggered arrangements of obstacles.

Dynamic mode decomposition of mixing characteristics in a T-junction with a rotation impeller

Kexin Huang et al.

Summary: This study investigates coherent structures of turbulent mixing between cold and hot waters in a T-junction with a rotation impeller, with varying blade numbers (N-p = 2-4), using the dynamic mode decomposition method. The results show that increasing blade number leads to increased velocity fluctuation and initially increased and then decreased temperature fluctuation.
