Investigating the role of multiple body curvatures on viscous streaming dynamics

ORAL

Abstract

Two-dimensional viscous streaming flows arising from shapes of constant curvature (plates and circular cylinders) have been well understood as a second-order effect. However, relatively little is known about such flows when object(s) of multiple curvatures are involved. Using an established computational framework, we investigate the role of body curvature in the streaming flow dynamics, exploring the possibility of multiple curvatures eliciting higher-order streaming terms and topological changes.
