Our work is motivated by the analysis of ash plume dynamics, arising in the study of volcanic eruptions. Such phenomena are characterized by large Reynolds number (exceeding $10^7$) and a large number of polydispersed particles~[1]. Thus,…
Emulsions are common in many natural and industrial settings. Recently, much attention has been put on understanding the dynamics of turbulent emulsions. This paper reviews some recent studies of emulsions in turbulent Taylor-Couette flow,…
We use experiments and direct numerical simulations to probe the phase-space of low-curvature Taylor--Couette (TC) flow in the vicinity of the ultimate regime. The cylinder radius ratio is fixed at $\eta=r_i/r_o=0.91$. Non-dimensional shear…
We investigate the mechanisms by which inertial solid particles modulate turbulence and alter the fluid mass transport in dense turbulent liquid-solid flows. To this end, we perform Euler-Lagrange simulations at friction Reynolds number…
The changes of a turbulent channel flow subjected to oscillations of wall flush-mounted rigid discs are studied by means of direct numerical simulations. The Reynolds number is $R_\tau$=$180$, based on the friction velocity of the…
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…
In-cylinder flow structures and turbulence characteristics are investigated using direct numerical simulations (DNS) in a laboratory-scale engine at technically relevant engine speeds (1500 and 2500 rpm at full load). The data is computed…
We report on the modification of drag by neutrally buoyant spherical particles in highly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow. These particles can be used to disentangle the effects of size, deformability, and volume fraction on the drag, when…
Air cavities, i.e. air layers developed behind cavitators, are seen as a promising drag reducing method in the maritime industry. Here we utilize the Taylor-Couette (TC) geometry, i.e. the flow between two concentric, independently rotating…
This study explores heat and turbulent modulation in three-dimensional multiphase Rayleigh-B\'enard convection using direct numerical simulations. Two immiscible fluids with identical reference density undergo systematic variations in…
The present paper describes a combined experimental and high performance computing study of new specific behaviors of the Strato-Rotational Instability (SRI). The confrontation of low frequency Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) experimental…
Turbulent drag reduction through streamwise travelling waves of spanwise wall oscillation is investigated over a wide range of Reynolds numbers. Here, in Part 1, wall-resolved large-eddy simulations in a channel flow are conducted to…
In this paper, we investigate the stability of the 2-dimensional (2D) Taylor-Couette (TC) flow for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The explicit form of velocity for 2D TC flow is given by $u=(Ar+\frac{B}{r})(-\sin \theta, \cos…
We present angular momentum transport (torque) measurements in two recent experimental studies of the turbulent flow between independently rotating cylinders. In addition to these studies, we reanalyze prior torque measurements to expand…
We provide experimental measurements for the effective scaling of the Taylor-Reynolds number within the bulk $\text{Re}_{\lambda,\text{bulk}}$, based on local flow quantities as a function of the driving strength (expressed as the Taylor…
The control efficacy of classical periodic forcing and deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is assessed for a turbulent separation bubble (TSB) at $Re_\tau=180$ on the upstream region before separation occurs. The TSB can resemble a separation…
The direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the Taylor--Couette flow in the fully turbulent regime is described. The numerical method extends the work by Quadrio & Luchini (Eur. J. Mech. B / Fluids, v.21, pp.413--427, 2002), and is based on a…
Taylor-Couette flow between rotating cylinders is a classical problem in fluid mechanics and has been extensively studied in the case of two concentric circular cylinders. There have been relatively small number of studies in complex-shaped…
A turbulent pipe flow experiment was conducted where the surface of the pipe was oscillated azimuthally over a wide range of frequencies, amplitudes and Reynolds number. The drag was reduced by as much as 30\%. Past work has suggested that…
For slow-speed ships, underwater vehicles, and pipe transportation systems, viscous resistance accounts for a large proportion of the total energy losses. As such, various technologies have been developed to reduce viscous resistance and…
