Wakes of upswept afterbodies are often characterized by a counter-rotating streamwise vortex pair. The unsteady dynamics of these vortices are examined with a spatio-temporally resolved Large-Eddy Simulation dataset on a representative…
Linear modal instabilities of flow over finite-span untapered wings have been investigated numerically at Reynolds number 400, at a range of angles of attack and sweep on two wings having aspect ratios 4 and 8. Base flows have been…
Forward-swept wings offer unique advantages in the aerodynamic performance of air vehicles. However, the low-Reynolds-number characteristics of such wings have not been explored in the past. In this work, we numerically study laminar…
We perform direct numerical simulations of laminar separated flows over finite-aspect-ratio swept wings at a chord-base Reynolds number of $Re = 400$ to reveal a variety of wake structures generated for a range of aspect ratios…
The vortex unsteadiness around a hemisphere-cylinder body at AOAs of 10 to 80 deg was studied using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD). The Reynolds number (Re) based on the cylinder diameter of the body is…
We analyze the global linear stability of the axisymmetric flow around a spinning bullet-shaped body as a function of the Reynolds number, $Re=w_{\infty}D/\nu$, and of the rotation parameter $\Omega=\omega D/(2 w_{\infty})$, in the ranges…
This work studies the three-dimensional flow dynamics around a rotating circular cylinder of finite length, whose axis is positioned perpendicular to the streamwise direction. Direct numerical simulations and global stability analyses are…
Linear stability of a locally parallel annular swirling jet laden with particles in a swirl flow combustor is considered. At low Stokes numbers, the eigenspectra of the particle-laden jet with uniform particle concentration shows three…
Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are subjected to platform motion induced by wind and wave loads. The oscillatory movement trigger vortex instabilities, modifying the wake structure, influencing the flow reaching downstream wind…
We investigate the global frequency selection of two-dimensional vortex shedding in the flat plate wake. The analysis is based on the mean flow velocity profiles obtained from experimental measurements carried out for two values of Reynolds…
Designing effective control for complex three-dimensional flow fields proves to be non-trivial. Oftentimes, intuitive control strategies lead to suboptimal control. To navigate the control space, we utilize a linear parabolized stability…
The turbulent flow past a wall-mounted square cylinder with an aspect ratio of four was investigated with the aid of Spalart-Allmaras improved delayed detached-eddy simulation (S-A IDDES) and proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). The…
An improved understanding of how vortices develop and propagate under pulsatile flow can shed important light on the mixing and transport processes including the transition to turbulent regime occurring in such systems. For example, the…
The flow around a cylinder oscillating in the streamwise direction with a frequency, $f_f$, much lower than the shedding frequency, $f_s$, has been relatively less studied than the case when these frequencies have the same order of…
Stratified wakes past an isolated conical seamount are simulated at a Froude number of $Fr = 0.15$ and Rossby numbers of $Ro = 0.15$, 0.75, and $\infty$. The wakes exhibit a K{\' a}rm{\' a}n vortex street, unlike their unstratified,…
This paper investigates the linear destabilization of three-dimensional steady wakes developing behind flate plates placed normal to the incoming flow. Plates characterized by low length-to-width ratio $L$ are considered here. By varying…
This study investigates a mechanism of controlling separated flows around an airfoil using a synthetic jet (SJ). A large-eddy simulation (LES) was performed for a leading-edge separation flow around a NACA0015 airfoil at the chord Reynolds…
The wake of wavy cylinder has been shown to exhibit bistability. Depending on the initial condition, the final state of the wake can either develop into a steady flow (state I), or periodic shedding (state II). In this paper, we perform…
We perform direct numerical simulations of flows over finite-aspect-ratio rotating circular cylinders at a Reynolds number of 150 over a range of aspect ratios ($AR=2-12$) and rotation rates ($\alpha=0-5$), aiming at revealing the free-end…
The flow around a symmetric aerofoil (NACA 0012) with an array of flexible flaplets attached to the trailing edge has been investigated at Reynolds numbers of 100,000 - 150,000 by using High-Speed Time-Resolved Particle Image Velocimetry…
