The resolvent analysis reveals the worst-case disturbances and the most amplified response in a fluid flow that can develop around a stationary base state. The recent work by Padovan et al.(2020) extended the classical resolvent analysis to…
We consider the flow of a Newtonian fluid in a three-dimensional domain, rotating about a vertical axis and driven by a vertically invariant horizontal body-force. This system admits vertically invariant solutions that satisfy the 2D…
Many unsteady flows exhibiting complex dynamics are nevertheless characterized by emergent large-scale coherence in space and time. Reduced-order models based on Galerkin projection of the governing equations onto an orthogonal modal basis…
The PANS equations model is used to predict the transitional Taylor-Green vortex (TGV) flow at Re=3000. A new form of the closure is proposed, in which the PANS procedure is applied to a variant of the BHR turbulence model. The TGV is a…
We analyse the anisotropy of homogeneous turbulence in an electrically conducting fluid submitted to a uniform magnetic field, for low magnetic Reynolds number, in the quasi- static approximation. We interpret disagreeing previous…
We study the decay of high-Reynolds number Taylor-Couette turbulence, i.e. the turbulent flow between two coaxial rotating cylinders. To do so, the rotation of the inner cylinder (Re$_i=2 \times 10^6$, the outer cylinder is at rest) is…
Streamwise and quasi-streamwise elongated structures have been shown to play a significant role in turbulent shear flows. We model the mean behavior of fully turbulent plane Couette flow using a streamwise constant projection of the Navier…
Exact coherent states of a linearly stable, plane parallel shear flow confined between stationary stress-free walls and driven by a sinusoidal body force (a flow first introduced by F. Waleffe, Phys. Fluids 9, 883 (1997)) are computed using…
The direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the Taylor--Couette flow in the fully turbulent regime is described. The numerical method extends the work by Quadrio & Luchini (Eur. J. Mech. B / Fluids, v.21, pp.413--427, 2002), and is based on a…
The recently introduced structured input-output analysis is a powerful method for capturing nonlinear phenomena associated with incompressible flows, and this paper extends that method to the compressible regime. The proposed method relies…
We present wall-resolved large-eddy simulations (LES) of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations together with empirical modeling for {turbulent} Taylor-Couette {(TC)} flow where the inner cylinder is rotating with angular velocity…
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…
New equilibrium solution branches for plane Couette flow are reported which add to the inventory of known solution branches. The exact solutions are found by projecting known equilibria onto the resolvent modes of McKeon & Sharma (J. Fl.…
We report a direct-numerical-simulation study of Taylor-Couette flow in the quasi-Keplerian regime at shear Reynolds numbers up to $\mathcal{O}(10^5)$. Quasi-Keplerian rotating flow has been investigated for decades as a simplified model…
Nonequilibrium statistical models of point vortex systems are constructed using an optimal closure method, and these models are employed to approximate the relaxation toward equilibrium of systems governed by the two-dimensional Euler…
The Navier Stokes equations (NSEs) are partial differential equations (PDEs) to describe the nonlinear convective motion of fluids and they are computationally expensive to simulate because of their high nonlinearity and variables being…
We extend linear input/output (resolvent) analysis to take into account nonlinear triadic interactions by considering a finite number of harmonics in the frequency domain using the harmonic balance method. Forcing mechanisms that maximize…
A linear non-modal mechanism for transient amplification of perturbation energy is known to trigger sub-critical transition to turbulence in many shear flows. Feedback control strategies for minimizing this transient energy growth can be…
We develop robust and scalable fully implicit nonlinear finite element solvers for the simulations of biological transportation networks driven by the gradient flow minimization of a non-convex energy cost functional. Our approach employs a…
A three-point iterative method for solving scalar non-linear equations was selected and then adapted to solve systems of non-linear equations. Subsequently, by applying Taylor's theorem to functions of $\R^{n}$ in $\R^{n}$, it is shown that…
