The objective of this work is to assess the impact of parameter uncertainty on hypersonic aerothermal surface heating predictions in Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations using non-intrusive uncertainty quantification (UQ)…
Context. Investigation of the hard X-ray emission properties of blazars is key to the understanding of the central engine of the sources and associated jet process. In particular, simultaneous spectral and timing analyses of the intra-day…
Effect of airfoil thickness on onset of dynamic stall is investigated using large eddy simulations at chord-based Reynolds number of 200,000. Four symmetric NACA airfoils of thickness-to-chord ratios of 9%, 12%, 15%, and 18% are studied.…
We present an experimental study of reactive control of turbulent jets. We target axisymmetric disturbances associated with coherent structures, which are known to underpin the peak sound radiation of turbulent jets. We first consider a…
Accurately modeling the dynamics of high-density ratio ($\mathcal{O}(10^5)$) two-phase flows is important for many material science and manufacturing applications. This work considers numerical simulations of molten metal oscillations in…
Emission in many astrophysical transients originates from a shocked fluid. A central engine typically produces an outflow with varying speeds, leading to internal collisions within the outflow at finite distances from the source. Each such…
The transition from stick to slip at a dry frictional interface occurs through the breaking of the junctions between the two contacting surfaces. Typically, interactions between the junctions through the bulk lead to rupture fronts…
A capillary jet falling under the effect of gravity continuously stretches while thinning downstream. We report here the effect of external periodic forcing on such a spatially varying jet in the jetting regime. Surprisingly, the optimal…
The impact forces during switching operations of short-stroke actuators may cause bouncing, audible noise and mechanical wear. The application of soft-landing control strategies to these devices aims at minimizing the impact velocities of…
We study the onset of spontaneous dynamics in the follower force model of an active filament, wherein a slender elastic filament in a viscous liquid is clamped normal to a wall at one end and subjected to a tangential compressive force at…
The present study focuses on the development, application, and comparison of three computational frameworks of varying fidelities for assessing the effects of fuel sloshing in internal fuel tanks on the aeroelastic characteristics of a wing…
Predicting and perhaps mitigating against rare, extreme events in fluid flows is an important challenge. Due to the time-localised nature of these events, Fourier-based methods prove inefficient in capturing them. Instead, this paper uses…
Surface roughness is a major contributor to performance degradation in gas turbine engines. The fan and the compressor, as the first components in the engine's air path, are especially vulnerable to the effects of surface roughness. Debris…
We consider transversely modulated fronts in a directionally quenched Cahn-Hilliard equation, posed on a two-dimensional infinite channel, with both parameter and source-term type heterogeneities. Such quenching heterogeneities travel…
Understanding ventilation strategy of a supercavity is important for designing high-speed underwater vehicles wherein an artificial gas pocket is created behind a flow separation device for drag reduction. Our study investigates the effect…
Hypersonic leading-edge separation is studied towards understanding the varying shock-related unsteadiness with freestream Reynolds number ($1.66 \times 10^5 \leq Re_D \leq 5.85 \times 10^5$) in the newly constructed hypersonic Ludwieg…
In recent works, we proposed a hypothesis that the turbulence in gases could be produced by particles interacting via a potential, and examined the proposed mechanics of turbulence formation in a simple model of two particles for a variety…
This study presents a critical assessment of a pressure-based solver (PBS) in resolving complex interactions of shocks, turbulent structures etc.. The canonical problem chosen to be resolved in this study is of mode staging in axisymmetric…
A new unsteady flamelet model is developed to be used for sub-grid modeling and coupling with the resolved flow description for turbulent combustion. Difficulties with prior unsteady flamelet models are identified. The model extends the…
The viscous and rarefaction effects on centreline shock reflection occurring in an overexpanded axisymmetric microjet have been investigated numerically by means of a fully coupled pressure-based shock capturing scheme. Due to the low…
