The wake of a SAE squareback vehicle model is studied both experimentally and numerically for a Reynolds-number of $ Re_h = 1.0 \hspace{5pt} 10^6 $.The investigation focuses on the coherent structures of the intermediate to largest length…
In this study, we investigated the flow dynamics in a fixed bed of hydrogel beads using Particle Tracking Velocimetry to compute the velocity field in the middle of the bed for moderate Reynolds numbers. We discovered that despite the…
Oscillating foils in synchronized pitch/heave motions can be used to harvest hydrokinetic energy. By understanding the wake structure and its correlation with the foil kinematics, predictive models for how foils can operate in array…
An initial-value problem for arbitrary small 3D vorticity perturbations imposed on a free shear flow is considered. The viscous perturbation equations are then combined in terms of the vorticity and velocity, and are solved by means of a…
The present study is a prelude to applying different flow control devices on pitching and plunging airfoils with the intention of controlling the growth of the leading edge vortex (LEV); hence, the lift under unsteady stall conditions. As a…
The wake of an isolated model-scale wind turbine is analysed in a set of inflow conditions having freestream turbulence intensity between 3 % and 12 %, and integral time scales in the range of 0.1 to 10 times the convective timescale based…
We here exploit a rigorous mathematical theory of vorticity dynamics for Navier-Stokes solutions in terms of stochastic Lagrangian flows and their stochastic Cauchy invariants, that are conserved on average backward in time. This theory…
Key features of the mechanical response of amorphous particulate materials, such as foams, emulsions, and granular media, to applied stress are determined by the frequency and size of particle rearrangements that occur as the system…
The two-phase mixing layer formed between parallel gas and liquid streams is an important fundamental problem in turbulent multiphase flows. The problem is relevant to many industrial applications and natural phenomena, such as air-blast…
Lagrangian methods continue to stand at the forefront of the analysis of time-dependent dynamical systems. Most Lagrangian methods have criteria that must be fulfilled by trajectories as they are followed throughout a given finite flow…
The hydrodynamics of bubble columns in the heterogeneous regime is investigated from experiments with bubbles at large particle Reynolds numbers and without coalescence. The void fraction field $\varepsilon$ at small scales, analyzed with…
In shear flows turbulence first occurs in the form of localized structures (puffs/spots) surrounded by laminar fluid. We here investigate such spatially intermittent flows in a pipe experiment showing that turbulent puffs have a well…
The stability of ventilated supercavitation is strongly influenced by gas leakage characteristics of the cavity. Here we conduct a systematic investigation of such characteristics under different closure conditions including re-entrant jet…
The bubble wall velocity is essential for the phase transition dynamics in the early universe and its cosmological implications, such as the energy budget of phase transition gravitational wave and electroweak baryogenesis. One key factor…
We investigate the large-scale intermittency of vertical velocity and temperature, and the mixing properties of stably stratified turbulent flows using both Lagrangian and Eulerian fields from direct numerical simulations, in a parameter…
This study investigates the causal timeline of vortex stretching in high-Reynolds-number turbulence ($Re_\lambda \approx 433$) using Lagrangian tracking in $1024^3$ direct numerical simulations. While classical theories often assume an…
Pore-scale observation of vortical flow structures in porous media is a significant challenge in many natural and industrial systems. Vortical structure dynamics is believed to be the driving mechanism in the transition regime in porous…
Many natural systems display transitions among different dynamical regimes, which are difficult to identify when the data is noisy and high dimensional. A technologically relevant example is a fiber laser, which can display complex…
We study the dispersion of bubble swarms rising in initially quiescent water using 3D Lagrangian tracking of deformable bubbles and tracer particles in an octagonal bubble column. First, we compare the dispersion inside bubble swarms with…
We investigate the effects of bacterial activity on the mixing and transport properties of a passive scalar in time-periodic flows in experiments and in a simple model. We focus on the interactions between swimming E. coli and the…
