The work addresses 2D and 3D turbulent transonic flows past a wall with an expansion corner. A curved shock wave is formed upstream of a cylinder located above the corner. Numerical solutions of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations…

We study the nonhomogeneous boundary value problem for Navier-Stokes equations of steady motion of a viscous incompressible fluid in a three-dimensional bounded multiply connected domain. We prove that this problem has a solution in some…
Direct numerical simulations of turbulent Taylor-Couette flow are performed up to inner cylinder Reynolds numbers of {Re_i=10^5} for a radius ratio of {\eta=r_i/r_o=0.714} between the inner and outer cylinder. With increasing {Re_i}, the…

The turbulent/non-turbulent interface is analysed in a direct numerical simulation of a boundary layer in the range $Re_\theta=2800-6600$, with emphasis on the behaviour of the relatively large-scale fractal intermittent region. This…

In this paper, we investigate the instability of the trivial steady states to the incompressible viscous fluid with Navier-slip boundary conditions. For the linear instability, the existence of infinitely many normal mode solutions to the…
This work discusses the correct modeling of the fully nonlinear free surface boundary conditions to be prescribed in water waves flow simulations based on potential flow theory. The main goal of such a discussion is that of identifying a…

The concept of boundary layer flow, introduced in 1904 by Prandtl, is a popular field in Fluid Mechanics for engineers, physicists and mathematicians. In the classical Blasius boundary layer flow the transverse (normal) velocity reaches a…
