Embedded vortices in turbulent wall-bounded flow over a flat plate, generated by a passive rectangular vane-type vortex generator with variable angle $\beta$ to the incoming flow in a low-Reynolds number flow ($Re=2600$ based on the inlet…
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…
A three-layer asymptotic structure for turbulent pipe flow is proposed, revealing in terms of intermediate variables, the existence of a Reynolds-number invariant logarithmic region. It provides a theoretical foundation for addressing…
Nominal two-dimensional (2D) shear layers have been studied extensively, and their principal dynamics are well understood. In practical configurations, however, the behavior of such shear layers is affected by proximal surfaces. In this…
Dynamic mode decomposition method is deployed to investigate the heat transfer mechanism in a compressible turbulent shear layer and shockwave. To this end, highly resolved Large Eddy Simulations are performed to explore the effect of wall…
Optimal transitional mechanisms are analysed for an incompressible shear layer developing over a short, pressure gradient-induced laminar separation bubble (LSB) with peak reversed flow of 2%. Although the bubble remains globally stable,…
Recent experiments in hypersonic vehicle technology have had some successful outcomes (ex. NASA X-43, Boeing X-51) but also have seen some unexpected failures (DARPA Hypersonic Test Vehicle 2). One important failure mode is the problem of…
Aspects of transition mechanisms on a $14^{\circ}$ sharp-nosed ogive-cylinder at Mach~$6$ are elucidated by considering linear and nonlinear disturbance evolution of freestream stochastic and wave packet forcing at different locations…
Shallow flows are common in natural and human-made environments. Even for simple rectangular shallow reservoirs, recent laboratory experiments show that the developing flow fields are particularly complex, involving large-scale turbulent…
Collisionless fast-magnetosonic shocks are often treated as smooth, planar boundaries, yet observations point to organized corrugation of the shock surface. A plausible driver is upstream turbulence. Broadband fluctuations arriving at the…
The evolution and sudden change of steady interaction structures is numerically studied with the fore wedge angle theta_1 in a low enthalpy hypersonic double wedge configuration. It particularly focuses on the conditions of Swantek and…
Boundary-layer instabilities for a finned cone at Mach=6, $Re=8.4 \times 10^6$ [m$^{-1}$], and zero incidence angle are examined using linear stability methods of varying fidelity and maturity, following earlier analysis presented in…
We simulate the flow of two immiscible and incompressible fluids separated by an interface in a homogeneous turbulent shear flow at a shear Reynolds number equal to 15200. The viscosity and density of the two fluids are equal, and various…
Transonic buffet is an unsteady flow phenomenon that limits the safe flight envelope of modern aircraft. Scale-resolving simulations with span-periodic boundary conditions are capable of providing new insights into its flow physics. The…
Laminar-to-turbulence transition in zero-pressure-gradient boundary layer at Mach 4.5 is studied using direct numerical simulations. For a given level of total disturbance energy, the inflow spectra was designed to correspond to the…
With the aim of providing a first step in the quest for a reduction of the aerodynamic drag on the rear-end of a car, we study the phenomena of separation and reattachment of an incompressible flow focusing on a specific aerodynamic…
The subject of this work is the instability mechanism of simple shear flows, like Hagen-Poiseuille pipe flow, which is a long-standing problem in fluid mechanics [1,2]. A possible analogy with phenomenological theory of ideal plasticity in…
In this paper we investigate a new instability of the Lamb-Chaplygin dipole in a stratified fluid. Through numerical linear stability analysis, a secondary peak in the growth rate emerges at vertical scales about an order of magnitude…
This paper explores the fluid-elastic response of a cantilevered flexible sheet in the presence of uniform airflow. The leading edge of the sheet is clamped, while at the trailing edge, in-plane tension is applied to provide additional…
The unsteady three-dimensional separated flow on a wall induced by a square protrusion (approximately twice the local boundary layer thickness in width and height), and its control by means of passive suction through holes, is investigated…
