Topographic complexity on continental shelves is the catalyst that transforms the barotropic tide into the secondary and residual circulations that dominate vertical and cross-shelf mixing processes. Island wakes are one such example that…
Four different applications of spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD): low-rank reconstruction, denoising, frequency-time analysis, and prewhitening are demonstrated on large-eddy simulation data of a turbulent jet. SPOD-based…
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…
Aims. Qualitative analysis of key (but yet unappreciated) linear phenomena in stratified hydrodynamic Keplerian flows: (i) the occurrence of a vortex mode, as a consequence of strato-rotational balance, with its transient dynamics; (ii) the…
This work is concerned with the numerical investigation of the dynamics of stopping vortex formation in the uniform flow past a wedge mounted on a wall for channel Reynolds number $Re_c=1560$. The streamfunction-vorticity ($\psi$-$\omega$)…
The wake topology developing behind a wall-mounted square cylinder in a turbulent boundary layer has been investigated using a high-resolution large-eddy simulation (LES). The boundary-layer thickness at the obstacle location is fixed, the…
At a fixed distance from the body which creates the wake, entrainment is only seen to increase with the Reynolds number ($R$) up to a distance of almost 20 body scales. This increase levels up to a Reynolds number close to the critical…
The flow around two circular cylinders arranged in a tandem exhibits complex wake interactions that lead to amplified unsteady loads, particularly in the co-shedding regime where a fully developed wake forms in the gap between the…
We present an investigation of rapidly rotating (small Rossby number $Ro\ll 1$) and stratified turbulence where the stratification strength is varied from weak (large Froude number $Fr\gg1$) to strong ($Fr\ll1$). The investigation is set in…
Two-dimensional (2D) flows are efficiently controlled with spanwise waviness, i.e. spanwise-periodic (SP) wall blowing/suction/deformation. We tackle the global linear stability of 2D flows subject to small-amplitude 3D SP control. Building…
Modal decomposition of turbulent flows using classical proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) often suffers from mode mixing, in which a distinct coherent structure may be distributed over several POD modes. We propose a decomposition method…
The fluidic pinball is a geometrically simple flow configuration with three rotating cylinders on the vertex of an equilateral triangle. Yet, it remains physically rich enough to host a range of interacting frequencies and to allow testing…
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…
This paper presents an in-depth analysis of a novel subgrid-scale stress model proposed in 2022, which utilizes the rotational part of the velocity gradient as the velocity scale for computing eddy viscosity. This study investigates the…
A dual-step cylinder is comprised of a large diameter cylinder (D) with low aspect ratio (L/D) attached co-axially to the mid-span of a small diameter cylinder (d). The fluid dynamics video presented in this investigation is used to…
We consider the frequency domain form of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) called spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD). Spectral POD is derived from a space-time POD problem for statistically stationary flows and leads to…
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…
In this paper, the TR-PIV method is used to study the internal flow field characteristics in U-shaped channels. The Reynolds number, based on the square cross section channel hydraulic diameter is 8888,13333 and 17777. Mean flow, Reynolds…
The variance and spectra of wall-normal velocities are investigated for direct numerical simulations of turbulent flow in a channel, pipe, and zero-pressure-gradient boundary layer across a decade of friction Reynolds numbers. Spectra along…
Pore-resolved direct numerical simulations (DNS) are performed to investigate the interactions between streamflow turbulence and groundwater flow through a randomly packed porous sediment bed for three permeability Reynolds numbers, $Re_K$,…
