We study the transition to turbulence in the asymptotic suction boundary layer (ASBL) by direct numerical simulation. Tracking the motion of trajectories intermediate between laminar and turbulent states we can identify the invariant object…
Wall modelling in large-eddy simulation (LES) is necessary to overcome the prohibitive near-wall resolution requirements in high-Reynolds-number turbulent flows. Most existing wall models rely on assumptions about the state of the boundary…
We report measurements of the instantaneous viscous boundary layer (BL) thickness $\delta_v(t)$ in turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection. It is found that $\delta_v(t)$ obtained from the measured instantaneous two-dimensional velocity…
Turbulent emulsions are complex physical systems characterized by a strong and dynamical coupling between small-scale droplets and large-scale rheology. By using a specifically designed Taylor-Couette (TC) shear flow system, we are able to…
Taylor-Couette (TC) flow is used to probe the hydrodynamical stability of astrophysical accretion disks. Experimental data on the subcritical stability of TC are in conflict about the existence of turbulence (cf. Ji et al. Nature, 444,…
The behavior of a two dimensional, steady turbulent mixing layer was investigated. Besides the usual velocity components, all the contributing components of the Reynolds Stresses are also calculated and presented. The results indicated that…
The recent theoretical discovery of families of travelling wave solutions in pipe flow at Reynolds numbers lower than the transitional range naturally raises the question of their relevance to the turbulent transition process. Here a series…
Serrations are commonly employed to mitigate the turbulent boundary layer trailing-edge noise. However, significant discrepancies persist between model predictions and experimental observations. In this paper, we show that this results from…
Recently, Nagib et al (2024} utilized indicator functions of profiles of the streamwise normal stress to reveal the ranges of validity, in wall distance and Reynolds number, for each of two proposed models in DNS of channel and pipe flows.…
We computationally study the response of zero-pressure-gradient (ZPG) turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) to streamwise step changes from a smooth wall to riblets (SM_RI), and vice versa (RI_SM). To quantify the departure from equilibrium due…
We present direct numerical simulations (DNS) of laminar to turbulent transition in Herschel-Bulkley (HB) yield-stress fluids flowing through pipes and rectangular channels. The simulations employ a Herschel-Bulkley formulation that…
A study of large-scale motions from a new direct numerical simulation database of the turbulent boundary layer up to Re{\theta} ~ 2500 is presented. The statistics of large-scale streamwise structures have been investigated using…
We report numerical investigations of wave turbulence in a vibrating plate. The possibility to implement advanced measurement techniques and long time numerical simulations makes this system extremely valuable for wave turbulence studies.…
Modeling the intermittent behavior of turbulent energy dissipation processes both in space and time is often a relevant problem when dealing with phenomena occurring in high Reynolds number flows, especially in astrophysical and space…
Direct numerical simulations of turbulent flow in a channel with one rigid and one viscoelastic wall are performed. An Eulerian-Eulerian model is adopted with a level-set approach to identify the fluid-compliant material interface. Focus is…
A theoretical analysis is presented for turbulent flows, applicable for canonical (channel, boundary-layer and free jet) geometries. Momentum and energy balance for a control volume moving at the local mean velocity decouples the…
This study uses high-fidelity simulations (DNS or LES) and experimental datasets to analyse the effect of non-equilibrium streamwise mean pressure gradients (adverse or favourable), including attached and separated flows, on the statistics…
The onset of shear flow turbulence is characterized by turbulent patches bounded by regions of laminar flow. At low Reynolds numbers localized turbulence relaminarises, raising the question of whether it is transient in nature or it becomes…
One-dimensional models are presented for transitional shear flows. The models have two variables corresponding to turbulence intensity and mean shear. These variables evolve according to simple equations based on known properties of…
Measurements of wall shear-stress fluctuations on very long timescales ($\ge$ 1900 free-fall time units) are reported for turbulent Rayleigh-Benard (RB) convection in air at the heated bottom plate of a RB cell, 2.5 m in diameter and 2.5 m…
