Passive flow control research is commonly utilized to provide desirable drag and oscillating lift reduction across a range of engineering applications. This research explores the spanwise undulated cylinder inspired by seal whiskers, shown…
Turbulent flow evolution and energy cascades are significantly different in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) flows. Studies have investigated these differences in obstacle-free turbulent flows, but solid boundaries have an…
Hypersonic flow conditions pose exceptional challenges for Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence modeling. Critical phenomena include compressibility effects, shock/turbulent boundary layer interactions, turbulence-chemistry…
The dynamics of dilute micron-sized spherical inertial particles in turbulent duct flows is studied by means of direct numerical simulations of the carrier phase turbulence with one-way coupled Lagrangian particles. The geometries are a…
The recently introduced structured input-output analysis is a powerful method for capturing nonlinear phenomena associated with incompressible flows, and this paper extends that method to the compressible regime. The proposed method relies…
A set of boundary conditions called the Transpiration-Resistance Model (TRM) are investigated in altering near-wall turbulence. The TRM has been previously proposed by \citet{Lacis2020} as a means of representing the net effect of surface…
Spatially developing round jet flows are fundamental to numerous engineering applications. This letter applies the wave-particle turbulence simulation (WPTS) method, a recently developed multiscale approach, to simulate a spatially…
Direct numerical simulations of turbulent flow in a channel with one rigid and one viscoelastic wall are performed. An Eulerian-Eulerian model is adopted with a level-set approach to identify the fluid-compliant material interface. Focus is…
FEARLESS (Fluid mEchanics with Adaptively Refined Large Eddy SimulationS) is a new numerical scheme arising from the combined use of subgrid scale (SGS) model for turbulence at the unresolved length scales and adaptive mesh refinement (AMR)…
Direct numerical simulations were performed to characterize fully developed supersonic turbulent channel flows over isothermal rough walls. The effect of roughness was incorporated using a level-set/volume-of-fluid immersed boundary method.…
Wind tunnel tests of 2D rough cylinders are presented. The goal is to simulate the alternate vortex shedding in flow regimes encountered in wind engineering applications, where the full scale Reynolds number is larger than the one that can…
Direct numerical simulations of compressible turbulent channel flow at supersonic and hypersonic Mach numbers are performed using a thermally perfect gas model for CO$_2$. The objective is to assess the role of structure-preserving…
The physical fidelity of turbulence models can benefit from a partial resolution of fluctuations, but doing so often comes with an increase in computational cost. To explore this trade-off in the context of wall-bounded flows, this paper…
The study of thermal transport in low-dimensional materials has attracted a lot of attention recently after discovery of high thermal conductivity of graphene. Here we study numerically phonon transport in low-dimensional carbon structures…
The influence of turbine-turbine interactions on sound propagation is investigated using numerical simulations. Three configurations are examined: turbines aligned downstream of each other, placed side by side, and arranged in a staggered…
A new approach to turbulence simulation, based on a combination of large-eddy simulation (LES) for the whole flow and an array of non-space-filling quasi-direct numerical simulations (QDNS), which sample the response of near-wall turbulence…
In wall-bounded shear flow the primary coherent structure is the streamwise roll and streak (R-S). Absent of an associated instability the R-S has been ascribed to non-normality mediated interaction between the mean flow and perturbations.…
The development of turbulence closure models, parametrizing the influence of small non-resolved scales on the dynamics of large resolved ones, is an outstanding theoretical challenge with vast applicative relevance. We present a closure,…
A turbulent mean profile for pipe flow is prescribed which closely matches experimental observations. The nature of perturbations superimposed upon this profile is then considered. Optimal growth calculations predict two distinct classes of…
Measurements of the optical turbulence profile above Siding Spring Observatory were conducted during 2005 and 2006. This effort was largely motivated by the need to predict the statistical performance of adaptive optics at Siding Spring.…
