Examples of fluid flows driven by undulating boundaries are found in nature across many different length scales. Even though different driving mechanisms have evolved in distinct environments, they perform essentially the same function:…
Control surface deployment in a supersonic flow has many applications, including flow control, mixing, and body-force regulation. The extent of control surface deflections introduces varying flow unsteadiness. The resulting fluid dynamics…
Understanding the intricate dynamics of cross-flow turbines (CFT) is critical to the improvement of performance and optimal control strategies. The current study numerically investigates intracycle control by modulating the angular velocity…
Numerical simulations of turbulent round jets, using explicit-filtered LES technique, are performed, for three different Reynolds numbers(Re = 3600, 88000, 400000), to understand the Reynolds number effect on subsonic jets with Mach number…
The present study reports comprehensive bifurcation analysis of flow past a rotating cylinder at a fixed rotation rate by varying free-stream Reynolds number ($Re_{\infty}$) from 1000-6000 in intervals of 50. Two-dimensional compressible…
We present a model-based approach for the closed-loop control of vortex shedding in the cylinder wake. The control objective is to suppress the unsteadiness of the flow, which arises at a critical Reynolds number $Re_c$ through a…
A pinned-free beam in axial fluid flow, subjected to feedback-based actuation at the pinned end, is investigated. The actuation may be a moment or a prescribed angle and it is proportional to the state (curvature, slope, or displacement) of…
This study computes the optimal normal actuation on the surface of a NACA0012 airfoil at an angle of attack of 15{\deg} and a Reynolds number of Re = 1000, using costs defined for minimal drag and maximal lift. To allow for a general…
Scaling and mechanism of the propagation speed of turbulent fronts in pipe flow with the Reynolds number has been a long-standing problem in the past decades. Here, we derive an explicit scaling law of the upstream front speed, which…
Straight-bladed cross-flow turbines are computationally explored for harvesting energy in wind and water currents. One challenge for cross-flow turbines is the transient occurrence of high apparent angles of attack on the blades that…
Adaptive control is applied to a supersonic dual-stream jet flow comprised of Mach 1.6 core and Mach 1.0 bypass streams that mix to form a supersonic shear layer. The vortices shed are the source of a high-frequency tone that persists…
A two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model is used to predict the oscillatory flow through a tapered cylindrical tube section (jet pump) placed in a larger outer tube. Due to the shape of the jet pump, there will exist an…
We derive a feedback control law for the control of the downstream flow in a 1-D open channel by manipulating the water flow at an upstream location. We use backstepping for controller design and Lyapunov techniques for stability analysis.…
We conduct an active flow control (AFC) study on the mass flow rate of synthetic jets on the upper and lower surfaces of a square cylinder using a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm, with a focus on investigating the influence of…
Direct numerical simulations of turbulent non-rotating and rotating Plane Couette Flow with a periodically modulated plate velocity are conducted to study the effect of modulated forcing on turbulent shear flows. The time averaged shear…
The phenomenon of stable lift oscillations occurring on an elliptic wing section utilizing circulation control at transonic speeds was evaluated using numerical simulations. As the momentum of the jet increases beyond a prescribed…
The effect of the Strouhal number on periodic forcing of the flow over a backward-facing step (height, $H$) is investigated experimentally. Forcing is applied by a synthetic jet at the edge of the step at Strouhal numbers ranging from…
Opposition flow control is a robust strategy that has been proved effective in turbulent wall-bounded flows. Its conventional setup consists of measuring wall-normal velocity in the buffer layer and opposing it at the wall. This work…
Classical descriptions of flapping propulsion near a free surface emphasize the energetic penalties of wave generation, treating the interface primarily as an energy sink. Here, we show that the same deformable boundary can also act as a…
