Drag reduction by polymers in wall turbulence is bounded from above by a universal maximal drag reduction (MDR) velocity profile that is a log-law, estimated experimentally by Virk as $V^+(y^+)\approx 11.7 \log y^+ -17$. Here $V^+(y)$ and…
This work presents a high-order finite-difference adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) framework for robust simulation of shock-turbulence interaction problems. A staggered-grid arrangement, in which solution points are stored at cell centers…
Research on active control for the delay of laminar-turbulent transition in boundary layers has made a significant progress in the last two decades, but the employed strategies have been many and dispersed. Using one framework, we review…
We present the results of a Direct Numerical Simulation of a particle-laden spatially developing turbulent boundary layer up to Re{\theta} = 2500. Two main features differentiate the behavior of inertial particles in a zero-…
For a Mach 4.5 flat-plate adiabatic boundary layer, we study the sensitivity of the first, second Mack modes and streaks to steady wall-normal blowing/suction and wall heat flux. The global instabilities are characterised in frequency space…
This work introduces a stabilised finite element formulation for the Stokes flow problem with a nonlinear slip boundary condition of friction type. The boundary condition is enforced with the help of an additional Lagrange multiplier and…
The nonlinear robustness of laminar plane Couette flow is considered under the action of in-phase spanwise wall oscillations by computing properties of the edge of chaos, i.e., the boundary of its basin of attraction. Three measures are…
We propose a new Nitsche-type approach for weak enforcement of normal velocity boundary conditions for a Lagrangian discretization of the compressible shock-hydrodynamics equations using high-order finite elements on curved boundaries.…
We develop a model for steady, laminar boundary layers over small-scale textured surfaces. Although the texture is small relative to the boundary-layer thickness, it modifies the flow via a slip length. We use matched asymptotic expansions…
In this paper, we present a new control model for optimizing pressure and water quality operations in water distribution networks. Our formulation imposes a set of time-coupling constraints to manage temporal pressure variations, which are…
We describe a new method for computing coherent Lagrangian vortices in two-dimensional flows according to any of the following approaches: black-hole vortices [Haller & Beron-Vera, 2013], objective Eulerian Coherent Structures (OECSs)…
We discuss first order optimality conditions for geometric optimization problems with Neumann boundary conditions and boundary observation. The methods we develop here are applicable to large classes of state systems or cost functionals.…
We present two spanwise-localized travelling wave solutions in the asymptotic suction boundary layer, obtained by continuation of solutions of plane Couette flow. One of the solutions has the vortical structures located close to the wall,…
There are two components in this work that allow solutions of the turbulent channel problem: one is the Galilean-transformed Navier-Stokes equation which gives a theoretical expression for the Reynolds stress; and the second the maximum…
In this work, we propose an adjoint-based optimization procedure to control the onset of the Rayleigh-B\'enard instability with a melting front. A novel cut cell method is used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations in the Boussinesq…
We study free boundary problems for incompressible inhomogeneous flows governed by the Navier--Stokes equations, focusing on the regularity and global-in-time well-posedness of solutions in critical functional frameworks for small initial…
A computational technique has been developed to perform compressible flow simulations involving moving boundaries using an embedded boundary approach within the block-structured adaptive mesh refinement framework of AMReX. A conservative,…
This paper constructs and analyzes a boundary correction finite element method for the Stokes problem based on the Scott-Vogelius pair on Clough-Tocher splits. The velocity space consists of continuous piecewise quadratic polynomials, and…
Steady forcing at the wall of a channel flow is studied via DNS to assess its ability of yielding reductions of turbulent friction drag. The wall forcing consists of a stationary distribution of spanwise velocity that alternates in the…
Variational problems under uniform quasiconvex constraints on the gradient are studied. In particular, existence of solutions to such problems is proved as well as existence of lagrange multipliers associated to the uniform constraint. They…
