The transition to turbulence in the boundary flow of superfluid $^4$He is investigated using a vortex--free vibrating wire. At high wire vibration velocities, we found that stable alternating flow around the wire enters a turbulent phase…
Amplification of deterministic disturbances in inertialess shear-driven channel flows of viscoelastic fluids is examined by analyzing the frequency responses from spatio-temporal body forces to the velocity and polymer stress fluctuations.…
To understand the self-sustenance of subcritical turbulence in spectrally stable shear flows, we performed direct numerical simulations of homogeneous shear turbulence for different aspect ratios of the flow domain and analyzed the…
The dynamics of small global perturbations in the form of linear combination of a finite number of non-axisymmetric eigenmodes is studied in two-dimensional approximation. The background flow is assumed to be an axisymmetric perfect fluid…
The impact of turbulent fluctuations on the forces exerted by a fluid on a towed spherical particle is investigated by means of high-resolution direct numerical simulations. The measurements are carried out using a novel scheme to integrate…
We study the transition to turbulence in a flat plate boundary layer by means of visibility analysis of velocity time-series extracted across the flow domain. By taking into account the mutual visibility of sampled values, visibility graphs…
Curved free shear layers emerge in many engineering problems involving complex flow geometries, such as the flow over a backward facing step, flows with wall injection in a boundary layer, the flow inside side-dump combustors, or wakes…
The traditional approach in the study of hydrodynamic stability of stratified fluids includes the stick boundary conditions between layers. However, this rule may be violated in polymer systems and as a consequence various instabilities may…
The motion of an initially spherical capsule in a wall-bounded oscillating shear flow is investigated via an accelerated boundary integral implementation. The neo-Hookean model is used as the constitutive law of the capsule membrane. The…
The mechanism of transition from laminar state to turbulent state in Keplerian disks is still unknown. The most popular version today is generation of turbulence due to magnetorotational instability (MRI). However magnetohydrodynamic…
Conjugation accelerates bacterial evolution by enabling bacteria to acquire genes horizontally from their neighbors. Plasmid donors must physically encounter and connect with recipients to allow plasmid transfer, and different environments…
The onset of shear flow turbulence is characterized by turbulent patches bounded by regions of laminar flow. At low Reynolds numbers localized turbulence relaminarises, raising the question of whether it is transient in nature or it becomes…
The process of breaking of inviscid incompressible flows along a rigid body with slipping boundary conditions is studied. Such slipping flows are compressible, which is the main reason for the formation of a singularity for the gradient of…
The response to shear of the dense soft solids features a stress overshoot and a persistent shear banding before reaching a homogeneously flowing state. In 3D large scale simulations we analyze the time required for the onset of homogeneous…
We study the effect of acceleration and deceleration on the stability of channel flows. To do so, we derive an exact solution for laminar profiles of channel flows with arbitrary, time-varying wall motion and pressure gradient. This…
Turbulence, left unforced, decays and invades the surrounding quiescent fluid. Though ubiquitous, this simple phenomenon has proven hard to capture within a simple and general framework. Experiments in conventional turbulent flow chambers…
Examples of fluid flows driven by undulating boundaries are found in nature across many different length scales. Even though different driving mechanisms have evolved in distinct environments, they perform essentially the same function:…
Over a century of research into the origin of turbulence in wallbounded shear flows has resulted in a puzzling picture in which turbulence appears in a variety of different states competing with laminar background flow. At slightly higher…
Mixing layers can grow in time or space by vortex pairings that succeed each other in a nearly self-similar way. We use a point vortex model to study how confinement eventually limits this growth process, leading us to propose a wavelength…
This study investigates laminar boundary layer separation over a fully porous Gaussian bump using pore-resolved direct numerical simulations. The bump is formed by randomly packed spheres. Compared to a solid bump, the porous surface…
