The hypersonic flow stability over a two-dimensional compression corner is studied using resolvent analysis, linear stability theory (LST) and parabolised stability equation (PSE). The authors find that the interaction between upstream…
Numerical simulations of stratified shear flow instabilities are performed in two dimensions in the Boussinesq limit. The density variation length scale is chosen to be four times smaller than the velocity variation length scale so that…
We introduce four basic two-dimensional (2D) plaquette configurations with onsite cubic nonlinearities, which may be used as building blocks for 2D PT -symmetric lattices. For each configuration, we develop a dynamical model and examine its…
A method is proposed to estimate the velocity field of an unsteady flow using a limited number of flow measurements. The method is based on a non-linear low-dimensional model of the flow and on expanding the velocity field in terms of…
The dynamics of transitional flows are governed by an interplay between the non-normal linear dynamics and quadratic nonlinearity in the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. In this work, we propose a framework for nonlinear stability…
The emergence of large-scale spatial modulations of turbulent channel flow, as the Reynolds number is decreased, is addressed numerically using the framework of linear stability analysis. Such modulations are known as the precursors of…
The evolution of turbulent spots in a parallel shear flow is studied by means of full three-dimensional numerical simulations. The flow is bounded by free surfaces and driven by a volume force. Three regions in the spanwise spot…
Scroll waves are three-dimensional analogs of spiral waves. The linear stability spectrum of untwisted and twisted scroll waves is computed for a two-variable reaction-diffusion model of an excitable medium. Different bands of modes are…
Flows forced by a precessional motion can exhibit instabilities of crucial importance, whether they concern the fuel of a flying object or the liquid core of a telluric planet. So far, stability analyses of these flows have focused on the…
This article delves into the dynamics of inviscid annular supersonic jets, akin to those exiting converging-diverging nozzles in over-expanded regimes. It focuses on the first azimuthal Fourier mode of flow fluctuations and examines their…
Self-sustained oscillation in Mach 3 supersonic cavity with a length-to-depth ratio of 3 is investigated using wall modeled Large Eddy Simulation (LES) methodology for ReD = 3.39*10^5. The unsteady data obtained through computation is…
We investigate a system of nonlinear partial differential equations modeling the unsteady flow of a shear-thinning non-Newtonian fluid with a concentration-dependent power-law index. The system consists of the generalized Navier-Stokes…
We present a reduced order model for three dimensional unsteady pressure-driven flows in micro-channels of variable cross-section. This fast and accurate model is valid for long channels, but allows for large variations in the channel's…
Using simple kinematics, we propose a general theory of linear wave interactions between the interfacial waves of a two dimensional (2D), inviscid, multi-layered fluid system. The strength of our formalism is that one does not have to…
We fill the two main remaining gaps in the full classification of non-degenerate planar traveling waves of scalar balance laws from the point of view of spectral and nonlinear stability/instability under smooth perturbations. On one hand we…
Modal linear stability analysis has proven very successful in the analysis of coherent structures of turbulent flows. Formally, it describes the evolution of a disturbance in the limit of infinite time. In this work we apply modal linear…
This paper examines the linearized stability of plane Couette flow for stress-power law fluids, which exhibit non-monotonic stress-strain rate behavior. The constitutive model is derived from a thermodynamic framework using a non-convex…
The stability of idealized shear flow at long wavelengths is studied in detail. A hydrodynamic analysis at the level of the Navier-Stokes equation for small shear rates is given to identify the origin and universality of an instability at…
Shallow flows are common in natural and human-made environments. Even for simple rectangular shallow reservoirs, recent laboratory experiments show that the developing flow fields are particularly complex, involving large-scale turbulent…
This work builds upon recent work exploiting the notion of structured singular values to capture nonlinear interactions in the analysis of wall-bounded shear flows. In this context, the structured uncertainty can be interpreted in terms of…
