We review the role of dual pairs in mechanics and use them to derive particle-like solutions to regularized incompressible fluid systems. In our case we have a dual pair resulting from the action of diffeomorphisms on point particles (essentially by moving the points). We then augment our dual pair by considering the action of diffeomorphisms on Taylor series, also known as jets. The augmented weak dual pairs induce a hierarchy of particle-like solutions and conservation laws with particles carrying a copy of a jet group. We call these augmented particles jetlets. The jet groups serve as finite-dimensional models of the diffeomorphism group itself, and so the jetlet particles serve as a finite-dimensional model of the self-similarity exhibited by ideal incompressible fluids. The conservation law associated to jetlet solutions is shown to be a shadow of Kelvins circulation theorem. Finally, we study the dynamics of infinite time particle mergers. We prove that two merging particles at the zeroth level in the hierarchy yield dynamics which asymptotically approach that of a single particle in the first level in the hierarchy. This merging behavior is then verified numerically as well as the exchange of angular momentum which must occur during a near collision of two particles. The resulting particle-like solutions suggest a new class of meshless methods which work in dimensions $n geq 2$ and which exhibit a shadow of Kelvins circulation theorem. More broadly, this provides one of the first finite-dimensional models of self-similarity in ideal fluids.

Truncated Taylor expansions of smooth flow maps are used in Hamiltons principle to derive a multiscale Lagrangian particle representation of ideal fluid dynamics. Numerical simulations for scattering of solutions at one level of truncation are found to produce solutions at higher levels. These scattering events to higher levels in the Taylor expansion are interpreted as modeling a cascade to smaller scales.
The incompressibility constraint for fluid flow was imposed by Lagrange in the so-called Lagrangian variable description using his method of multipliers in the Lagrangian (variational) formulation. An alternative is the imposition of incompressibility in the Eulerian variable description by a generalization of Diracs constraint method using noncanonical Poisson brackets. Here it is shown how to impose the incompressibility constraint using Diracs method in terms of both the canonical Poisson brackets in the Lagrangian variable description and the noncanonical Poisson brackets in the Eulerian description, allowing for the advection of density. Both cases give dynamics of infinite-dimensional geodesic flow on the group of volume preserving diffeomorphisms and explicit expressions for this dynamics in terms of the constraints and original variables is given. Because Lagrangian and Eulerian conservation laws are not identical, comparison of the various methods is made.
We are modelling multi-scale, multi-physics uncertainty in wave-current interaction (WCI). To model uncertainty in WCI, we introduce stochasticity into the wave dynamics of two classic models of WCI; namely, the Generalised Lagrangian Mean (GLM) model and the Craik--Leibovich (CL) model. The key idea for the GLM approach is the separation of the Lagrangian (fluid) and Eulerian (wave) degrees of freedom in Hamiltons principle. This is done by coupling an Euler--Poincare {it reduced Lagrangian} for the current flow and a {it phase-space Lagrangian} for the wave field. WCI in the GLM model involves the nonlinear Doppler shift in frequency of the Hamiltonian wave subsystem, which arises because the waves propagate in the frame of motion of the Lagrangian-mean velocity of the current. In contrast, WCI in the CL model arises because the fluid velocity is defined relative to the frame of motion of the Stokes mean drift velocity, which is usually taken to be prescribed, time independent and driven externally. We compare the GLM and CL theories by placing them both into the general framework of a stochastic Hamiltons principle for a 3D Euler--Boussinesq (EB) fluid in a rotating frame. In other examples, we also apply the GLM and CL methods to add wave physics and stochasticity to the familiar 1D and 2D shallow water flow models. The differences in the types of stochasticity which arise for GLM and CL models can be seen by comparing the Kelvin circulation theorems for the two models. The GLM model acquires stochasticity in its Lagrangian transport velocity for the currents and also in its group velocity for the waves. The Kelvin circulation theorem stochastic CL model can accept stochasticity in its both its integrand and in the Lagrangian transport velocity of its circulation loop.
We apply supervised machine learning techniques to a number of regression problems in fluid dynamics. Four machine learning architectures are examined in terms of their characteristics, accuracy, computational cost, and robustness for canonical flow problems. We consider the estimation of force coefficients and wakes from a limited number of sensors on the surface for flows over a cylinder and NACA0012 airfoil with a Gurney flap. The influence of the temporal density of the training data is also examined. Furthermore, we consider the use of convolutional neural network in the context of super-resolution analysis of two-dimensional cylinder wake, two-dimensional decaying isotropic turbulence, and three-dimensional turbulent channel flow. In the concluding remarks, we summarize on findings from a range of regression type problems considered herein.
Many parts of biological organisms are comprised of deformable porous media. The biological media is both pliable enough to deform in response to an outside force and can deform by itself using the work of an embedded muscle. For example, the recent work (Ludeman et al., 2014) has demonstrated interesting sneezing dynamics of a freshwater sponge, when the sponge contracts and expands to clear itself from surrounding polluted water. We derive the equations of motion for the dynamics of such an active porous media (i.e., a deformable porous media that is capable of applying a force to itself with internal muscles), filled with an incompressible fluid. These equations of motion extend the earlier derived equation for a passive porous media filled with an incompressible fluid. We use a variational approach with a Lagrangian written as the sum of terms representing the kinetic and potential energy of the elastic matrix, and the kinetic energy of the fluid, coupled through the constraint of incompressibility. We then proceed to extend this theory by computing the case when both the active porous media and the fluid are incompressible, with the porous media still being deformable, which is often the case for biological applications. For the particular case of a uniform initial state, we rewrite the equations of motion in terms of two coupled telegraph-like equations for the material (Lagrangian) particles expressed in the Eulerian frame of reference, particularly suitable for numerical simulations, formulated for both the compressible media/incompressible fluid case and the doubly incompressible case. We derive interesting conservation laws for the motion, perform numerical simulations in both cases and show the possibility of self-propulsion of a biological organism due to particular running wave-like application of the muscle stress.
