Heat transfer augmentation is an essential requirement in all heat transfer devices, such as heat exchangers used in biomedical applications, electronic cooling, solar air heaters, nuclear reactor cores, and gas turbine blade cooling etc.…
Recent studies of rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection at high rotation rates and strong thermal forcing have shown a significant discrepancy in total heat transport between experiments on a confined cylindrical domain on the one hand and…
Using high-resolution particle image velocimetry we measure velocity profiles, the wind Reynolds number and characteristics of turbulent plumes in Taylor-Couette flow for a radius ratio of 0.5 and Taylor number of up to $6.2\cdot10^9$. The…
The dynamics of entrainment of finite-size heavy particles in a turbulent open channel flow over a smooth surface are analyzed. Three types of simulations, namely with freely moving, rotation-constrained, and spanwise-motion-constrained…
Selective withdrawal is a desired phenomenon in transferring oil from large caverns in US Strategic petroleum reserve, because entrainment of oil at the time during withdrawal poses a risk of contaminating the environment. In order to…
Marine life has been detected in the ocean's trenches at great depths down to nearly 11 km. Such life is subject to particular environmental conditions of large static pressure exceeding 1000 atmosphere. While current flows are expected to…
The dissipative nature of heat transfer relaxes thermal flows to an equilibrium state that is devoid of temperature gradients. The distance to reach an equilibrium temperature -- the thermal entrance length -- is a consequence of diffusion…
Thermal convection is observed in molecular dynamic simulation of a fluidized granular system of nearly elastic hard disks moving under gravity, inside a rectangular box. Boundaries introduce no shearing or time dependence, but the energy…
In plane Couette flow, the incompressible fluid between two plane parallel walls is driven by the motion of those walls. The laminar solution, in which the streamwise velocity varies linearly in the wall-normal direction, is known to be…
The normalized turbulent dissipation rate $C_\epsilon$ is studied in decaying and forced turbulence by direct numerical simulations, large-eddy simulations, and closure calculations. A large difference in the values of $C_\epsilon$ is…
This paper proposes a simple new closure principle for turbulent shear flows. The turbulent flow field is divided into an outer and an inner region. The inner region is made up of a log-law region and a wall layer. The wall layer is viewed…
Major mergers are considered to be a significant source of turbulence in clusters. We performed a numerical simulation of a major merger event using nested-grid initial conditions, adaptive mesh refinement, radiative cooling of primordial…
Anomalous entrainment in cumulus clouds has been a topic of investigation over many decades in the past. Its importance stems from the fact that entrainment rate is one of the major inputs to several cumulus-parameterization schemes.…
The turbulent transport of angular momentum plays an important role in many astrophysical objects, but its modelization is still far from satisfactory. We discuss here what can be learned from laboratory experiments. We analyze the results…
The phenomenon of turbulent thermal diffusion in temperature-stratified turbulence causing a non-diffusive turbulent flux of inertial and non-inertial particles in the direction of the turbulent heat flux is found using direct numerical…
Two-dimensional direct numerical simulations are conducted for convection sustained by uniform internal heating in a horizontal fluid layer. Top and bottom boundary temperatures are fixed and equal. Prandtl numbers range from 0.01 to 100,…
Direct numerical simulations have been performed for turbulent thermal convection between horizontal no-slip, permeable walls with a distance $H$ and a constant temperature difference $\Delta T$ at the Rayleigh number…
Scaling and structural evolutions are contemplated in a new perspective for turbulent channel flows. The total integrated turbulence kinetic energy remains constant when normalized by the friction velocity squared, while the total…
Turbulent flows over canopies of rigid elements with different geometries and Reynolds numbers (Re) are investigated to identify and characterise different canopy density regimes. In the sparse regime, turbulence penetrates relatively…
The turbulent flow of a fluid carrying trace amounts of a condensable species through a differentially cooled vertical channel geometry is simulated using single-phase direct numerical simulations. The release of latent heat during…
