Well-resolved direct numerical simulations (DNSs) have been performed of the flow in a smooth circular pipe of radius $R$ and axial length $10\pi R$ at friction Reynolds numbers up to $Re_\tau=5200$. Various turbulence statistics are…
Direct numerical simulation of a turbulent channel flow with heat transfer was performed at very low Reynolds numbers. Two different thermal boundary conditions were studied, and temperature was considered as a passive scalar. The…
Direct numerical simulation of open-channel flow over a bed of spheres arranged in a regular pattern has been carried out at bulk Reynolds number and roughness Reynolds number (based on sphere diameter) of approximately 6900 and 120,…
A scaling relation for the high frequency regime of streamwise energy spectra (in frequency domain) in the near-wall region is proposed. This is based on the dimensional analysis approach of \cite{perry1977} and \cite{Zamalloa2014} together…
Passive scalar transport in turbulent channel flow subject to spanwise system rotation is studied by direct numerical simulations. The Reynolds number $Re = U_b h/\nu$ is fixed at $20\,000$ and the rotation number $Ro = 2 \Omega h/U_b$ is…
Near-wall turbulent velocities in turbulent channel flows are decomposed into small-scale and large-scale components at $y^+<100$ by improving the predictive inner-outer model of Baars et al. [Phys. Rev. Fluids 1, 054406 (2016)], where…
When a chordwise Reynolds number (Re) falls below about $10^5$ the performance of wings and aerodynamic sections become sensitive to viscous phenomena, including boundary layer separation and possible reattachment. Here, detailed…
It has been reported that a fully localized turbulent band in channel flow becomes sustained when the Reynolds number is above a threshold. Here we show evidences that turbulent bands are of a transient nature instead. When the band length…
Using high-resolution direct numerical simulations, the height and Reynolds number dependence of higher-order statistics of the energy dissipation rate and local enstrophy are examined in incompressible, fully-developed turbulent channel…
We present direct numerical simulation results of turbulent open channel flow at bulk Reynolds numbers up to 12000, coupled with (passive) scalar transport at Schmidt numbers up to 200. Care is taken to capture the very large scale motions…
A numerical investigation for the stability of the incompressible slip flow of normal quantum fluids (above the critical phase transition temperature) inside a microslab where surface acoustic waves propagate along the walls is presented.…
By using new results from direct simulations of turbulent channels at moderate friction Reynolds numbers (Retau <= 1900) and in very large numerical boxes, we examine the corrections to the similarity assumptions in the overlap and outer…
The changes of a turbulent channel flow subjected to oscillations of wall flush-mounted rigid discs are studied by means of direct numerical simulations. The Reynolds number is $R_\tau$=$180$, based on the friction velocity of the…
Wall-pressure fluctuations are a practically robust input for real-time control systems aimed at modifying wall-bounded turbulence. The scaling behaviour of the wall-pressure--velocity coupling requires investigation to properly design a…
Direct numerical simulations have proven of inestimable help to our understanding of the transition to turbulence in wall-bounded flows. While the dynamics of the transition from laminar flow to turbulence via localised spots can be…
Upon decreasing the Reynolds number, plane Couette flow first forms alternately turbulent and laminar oblique bands out of featureless turbulence below some upper threshold R_t. These bands exist down to a global stability threshold R_g…
We experimentally study the susceptibility to symmetry breaking of a closed turbulent von K\'{a}rm\'{a}n swirling flow from $Re = 150$ to $Re \simeq 10^{6}$. We report a divergence of this susceptibility at an intermediate Reynolds number…
A new velocity scale is derived that yields a Reynolds number independent profile for the streamwise turbulent fluctuations in the near-wall region of wall bounded flows for $y^+<25$. The scaling demonstrates the important role played by…
Direct numerical simulations of turbulent heat transfer in fully-developed channel flows have been performed in a range of friction Reynolds number between 60 and 180, based on the friction velocity and the channel half width $\delta$, with…
It has previously been shown that by increasing the Reynolds number across a channel by spatially varying the viscosity does not cause an immediate change in the size of turbulent structures and a delay is in fact observed in both wall…
