Flapping-based propulsive systems rely on fluid-structure interactions to produce thrust. At intermediate and high Reynolds numbers, vortex formation and organization in the wake of such systems are crucial for the generation of a…
Motivated by recent experimental and computational results concerning the three-dimensional structure of vortices behind a vortex shedding flow meter [M. Reik et al., Forsch. Ingenieurwes. 74, 77 (2010)], we study the Strouhal-Reynolds…
Prior research has shown that round and planar buoyant jets "puff" at a frequency that depends on the balance of momentum and buoyancy fluxes at the inlet, as parametrized by the Richardson number. Experiments have revealed the existence of…
The interaction of trailing and leading vortex structures in low Reynolds number forced (varicose) jet with coflow is studied using Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), where we report the dynamics of these vortices for a range of varying…
We study experimentally a symmetrical rigid foil performing pitching oscillations around a mean incidence angle ($\alpha_{m}$) with respect to an incoming flow in a hydrodynamic channel at a constant velocity where the Reynolds number…
Aims: The Strouhal number (St), which is a nondimensional measure of the correlation time, is determined from numerical models of convection. The Strouhal number arises in the mean-field theories of angular momentum transport and magnetic…
We examine the effect of Dean number on the inertial focusing of spherical particles suspended in flow through curved microfluidic ducts. Previous modelling of particle migration in curved ducts assumed the flow rate was small enough that a…
The transition of the vortex pattern and the lift generated by a heaving wing in a uniform flow was investigated numerically. Motivated by insects' flight maneuverability, we studied the relationship between a temporal change in the heaving…
A fin-body configuration is tested in a water tunnel to study the hydrodynamic loads and vortex evolution under dynamic fin-flapping motions, which is an idealized approximation of the pectoral fins of fish. The fin flaps about its leading…
The flow phenomena around a rotating elliptic cylinder in a channel is studied numerically. The value of the confinement parameter \beta is varied as \frac{1}{k}, where k = 2, 4, 6, and 8 respectively, to demonstrate the vortex-shedding…
For present study, setting Strouhal Number (St) as control parameter, numerical simulations for flow past oscillating NACA-0012 airfoil at 1,000 Reynolds Numbers (Re) are performed. Temporal profiles of unsteady forces; lift and thrust, and…
Dimensionless frequency scaling laws for active separation control on flat-plate wings, using dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators, were examined on the basis of maximum increases to lift coefficient, and compared with hovering…
Flow oscillations in the near-wake region of a 2D circular cylinder are experimentally investigated at Mach 6 over the Reynolds number range $2.3\times10^5$ to $5\times10^5$. The oscillation frequency is obtained by spectral proper…
At high incidence, low-aspect-ratio wings present a unique set of aerodynamic characteristics, including flow separation, vortex shedding, and unsteady force production. Furthermore, low-aspect ratio wings exhibit a highly impactful tip…

We present a wind tunnel experiment on a large smooth circular cylinder mounted between walls. The Reynolds number range of interest is [800 000 : 2 170 000]. This low supercritical regime is often encountered in wind engineering…
This study investigates the role of inertia in moving contact lines using experiments, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulations. Experiments are conducted using a plate immersion configuration over a wide range of Reynolds numbers…
Recent studies have shown that entrainment effectively describes the behaviour of natural and forced separating/reattaching flows developing behind bluff bodies, potentially paving the way to new, scalable separation control strategies. In…
The spanwise organization of the flow over a thick airfoil is investigated using surface pressure measurements for a range of angles of attack around maximum lift and high Reynolds numbers (1 Million). Locally strong pressure fluctuations,…
In particle-laden turbulent flows the turbulence in carrier fluid phase gets affected by the dispersed particle phase for volume fraction above $10^{-4}$ and hence reverse coupling or two-way coupling becomes relevant in that volume…
