We argue that turbulence in superfluids is governed by two dimensionless parameters. One of them is the intrinsic parameter q which characterizes the friction forces acting on a vortex moving with respect to the heat bath, with 1/q playing…
Numerical calculations of Helium-II hydrodynamics show that a dense tangle of superfluid vortices induces in an initially stationary normal fluid a highly dissipative, complex, vortical flow pattern ("turbulence") with a -2.2 energy…
The wake flow around a circular cylinder at $Re\approx100$ performing rotatory oscillations has been thoroughly discussed in the literature, mostly focusing on the modifications to the natural B\'enard-von K\'arm\'an vortex street that…
In this work, we study the flow in curved channels, an archetypal configuration that allows insights into problems featuring turbulence bounded by curved walls. Besides its relevance to many engineering applications, it exhibits a rich…
The incompressible flow around a circular cylinder, positioned at the center of an unconfined planar counterflow, is studied by means of numerical solutions of the conservation equations and linear stability analysis. The flow is completely…
The transition of the flow in a duct of square cross-section is studied. Like in the similar case of the pipe flow, the motion is linearly stable for all Reynolds numbers; this flow is thus a good candidate to investigate the 'bypass' path…
We present a detailed study of of a global bifurcation occuring in a turbulent von K\'arm\'an swirling flow. In this system, the statistically steady states progressively display hysteretic behaviour when the Reynolds number is increased…
We study the global, i.e. radially averaged, high Reynolds number (asymptotic) scaling of streamwise turbulence intensity squared defined as ${I^2=\overline{u^2}/U^2}$, where $u$ and $U$ are the fluctuating and mean velocities, respectively…
The flow around a cylinder oscillating in the streamwise direction with a frequency, $f_f$, much lower than the shedding frequency, $f_s$, has been relatively less studied than the case when these frequencies have the same order of…
We consider transition to strong turbulence in an infinite fluid stirred by a gaussian random force. The transition is {\bf defined} as a first appearance of anomalous scaling of normalized moments of velocity derivatives (dissipation…
The vortex dynamics of laminar flow past a rectangular cavity is investigated using simulations and experiments. The flow is three-dimensional and characterized by a large, dominant vortex structure that fills most of the cavity at moderate…
The critical velocity v_c for the onset of quantum turbulence in oscillatory flows of superfluid helium is universal and scales as v_c \sim \sqrt{\kappa\omega}, where \kappa is the circulation quantum and \omega is the oscillation…
At sufficiently high Reynolds numbers, shear-flow turbulence close to a wall acquires universal properties. When length and velocity are rescaled by appropriate characteristic scales of the turbulent flow and thereby measured in \emph{inner…
Numerical simulations are conducted to analyze flow characteristics around two tandem sharp-edged cylinders with cross sections of square (b*1 = 1) for the upstream cylinder and rectangle (b*2) for the downstream cylinder (b* = b/a, where a…
The Rankine oval is a classical geometry in potential flow, formed by superimposing a uniform stream with velocity U and a source-sink pair separated by distance 2a with strength m, resulting in a closed stagnation streamline whose shape is…
The transition to turbulence exhibits remarkable spatio-temporal behavior that continues to defy detailed understanding. Near the onset to turbulence in pipes, transient turbulent regions decay either directly or, at higher Reynolds numbers…
The transitional and well-developed regimes of turbulent shear flows exhibit a variety of remarkable scaling laws that are only now beginning to be systematically studied and understood. In the first part of this article, we summarize…
We study the laminar and turbulent channel flow over a viscous hyper-elastic wall and show that it is possible to sustain an unsteady chaotic turbulent-like flow at any Reynolds number by properly choosing the wall elastic modulus. We…
Using time-series of stereoscopic particle image velocimetry data, we study the response of a turbulent von K\'{a}rm\'{a}n swirling flow to a continuous breaking of its forcing symmetry. Experiments are carried over a wide Reynolds number…
Contrasting with free shear flows presenting velocity profiles with inflection points which cascade to turbulence in a relatively mild way, wall bounded flows are deprived of (inertial) instability modes at low Reynolds numbers and become…
