Cavities possess self-sustaining oscillations driven by the interaction of hydrodynamic and acoustic characteristics. These oscillations have applications in fuel-air mixing, heat exchangers, and landing gears, but resonance can damage the…
The influence of steep density gradient upon stirring properties of a strain flow is addressed by considering the problem in which an interface separating two regions with different constant densities is stabilised within a stagnation-point…
Results from a new series of experiments on turbulent flows in a rotating circular container are presented. Electromagnetic forcing is applied to induce flow in a layer of fluid of constant depth. Continuously forced as well as decaying…
Yield stress materials form an interesting class of materials that behave like solids at small stresses, but start to flow once a critical stress is exceeded. It has already been reported both in experimental and simulation work that flow…
We analyse the results of direct numerical simulations of rotating convection in spherical shell geometries with stress-free boundary conditions, which develop strong zonal flows. Both the Ekman number and the Rayleigh number are varied. We…
We report numerical results for velocity correlations in dense, gravity-driven granular flow down an inclined plane. For the grains on the surface layer, our results are consistent with experimental measurements reported by Pouliquen. We…
Hydraulic jumps are oftentimes encountered in natural and human-made environments. The transition from supercritical to subcritical flow involves large energy dissipation rates and substantial air entrainment, preventing the use of…
We experimentally study the turbulent flow between two coaxial and independently rotating cylinders. We determined the scaling of the torque with Reynolds numbers at various angular velocity ratios (Rotation numbers), and the behaviour of…
The 2d O(3) model is widely used as a toy model for ferromagnetism and for Quantum Chromodynamics. With the latter it shares --- among other basic aspects --- the property that the continuum functional integral splits into topological…
The invariants of the velocity gradient tensor, $R$ and $Q$, and their enstrophy and strain components are studied in the logarithmic layer of an incompressible turbulent channel flow. The velocities are filtered in the three spatial…
This study shows that the turbulent velocities most strongly correlated with outer-scaled ($\delta$-scaled) wall-pressure fluctuations beneath a zero-pressure-gradient boundary layer reside within the logarithmic region. Even though…
The numerical experiments of turbulence conducted by Gotoh et al. are analyzed precisely with the help of the formulae for the scaling exponents of velocity structure function and for the probability density function (PDF) of velocity…
We address the linear stability of a discontinuous surface of a relativistic flow in the context of a jet that oscillates radially as it propagates. The restoring force of the oscillation is expected to drive a Rayleigh-Taylor instability…
A body moving in a wall-bounded flow often experiences a hydrodynamic lift force normal to the wall, which plays an important role in many fluid systems. In this study, we develop a framework for diagnosing steady inertial lift from the…
Viscous flow past a finite plate which is impulsively started in direction normal to itself is studied numerically using a high order mixed finite difference and semi-Lagrangian scheme. The goal is to resolve details of the vorticity…
When a thin elastic sheet crumples, the elastic energy condenses into a network of folding lines and point vertices. These folds and vertices have elastic energy densities much greater than the surrounding areas, and most of the work…
Two-dimensional numerical simulations have been performed to understand the effect of wall proximity on the vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of an elastically mounted circular cylinder having two degrees of freedom for gap ratios g/D =…
In a helical flow there is a subrange of the inertial range in which there is a cascade of both energy and helicity. In this range the scaling exponents associated with the cascade of helicity can be defined. These scaling exponents are…
In a turbulent boundary layer over a smooth flat plate with zero pressure gradient, the intermediate structure between the viscous sublayer and the free stream consists of two layers: one adjacent to the viscous sublayer and one adjacent to…
We study the secondary time-averaged flow (streaming) generated by an oscillating cylinder immersed within a fluid, under high amplitude forcing so that inertial effects are significant. This streaming is decomposed into a viscous boundary…
