Swirl-switching is a low-frequency oscillatory phenomenon which affects the Dean vortices in bent pipes and may cause fatigue in piping systems. Despite thirty years worth of research, the mechanism that causes these oscillations and the…
We investigated the pressure-driven flow in curved channels at low aspect ratio, the latter being the ratio between the channel height (along the axial direction) and width (along the radial direction). The dynamics was studied numerically,…
Dean's approximation for curved pipe flow, valid under loose coiling and high Reynolds numbers, is extended to study three-dimensional travelling waves. Two distinct types of solutions bifurcate from the Dean's classic two-vortex solution.…
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…
Separated flows past complex geometries are modelled by discrete vortex techniques. The flows are assumed to be rotational and inviscid, and a new technique is described to determine the streamfunctions for linear shear profiles. The…
We study the Dean instability in curved channels using the lattice Boltzmann model for generalized metrics. For this purpose, we first improve and validate the method by measuring the critical Dean number at the transition from laminar to…
The paper presents a numerical investigation of the leading-edge vortices generated by rotating triangular wings at Reynolds number $Re=250$. A series of three-dimensional numerical simulations have been carried out using a Fourier…
Dense granular flows exhibit both surface deformation and secondary flows due to the presence of normal stress differences. Yet, a complete mathematical modelling of these two features is still lacking. This paper focuses on a steady…
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 paper considers a two-dimensional flow in a channel, which consists of straight inlet and outlet branches and a circularly 90-degree curved bend. An incompressible viscous fluid flows through the elbow under the action of a constant…
We investigate the incompressible flow past a square cylinder immersed in the wake of an upstream nearby splitter plate separating two streams of different velocity. The bottom stream Reynolds number, based on the square side, $Re_B=56$ is…
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…
We present a minimal model of an incompressible flow in square duct subject to a slight curvature. Using a Poincar\'e-like section we identify stationary, periodic, aperiodic and chaotic regimes, depending on the unique control parameter of…
We investigate the spatial distributions and production mechanisms of vorticity and turbulent kinetic energy around a finite NACA 0018 wing with square wingtip profile at $Re_c=10^4$ and $10^{\circ}$ angle of attack with the aid of Direct…
A large scale parametric study of the flow over the prolate spheroid is presented to understand the effect of Reynolds number and angle of attack on the separation, the wake formation and the loads. Large-Eddy Simulation is performed for…
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…
In the present paper, we examine the viscous flow evolution in a square cavity. Coupled with the stream function, the initial-boundary value problem of the vorticity is numerically solved by a method of iteration. The only boundary…
In this paper, we report new insight into a symmetry-breaking phenomenon that occurs for turbulent flow in periodic porous media composed of cylindrical solid obstacles with circular cross-section. We have used Large Eddy Simulation to…
We present a hydrodynamic model for a thin spherical shell of active nematic liquid crystal with an arbitrary configuration of defects. The active flows generated by defects in the director lead to the formation of stable vortices,…
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…
