Periodically forced, oscillatory fluid flows have been the focus of intense research for decades due to their richness as a nonlinear dynamical system and their relevance to applications in transportation, aeronautics, and energy…
In this work, we have performed numerical simulations of the flapping motion of a rectangular wing in a three-dimensional flow field using the discrete vortex method (DVM). The DVM method is computationally more convenient because it does…
Using complementary numerical approaches at high resolution, we study the late-time behaviour of an inviscid, incompressible two-dimensional flow on the surface of a sphere. Starting from a random initial vorticity field comprised of a…
A 2D temporal incompressible stability analysis is carried out for lobed jets. The jet base flow is assumed to be parallel and of a vortex-sheet type. The eigenfunctions of this simplified stability problem are expanded using the…
We train active neural-network flow controllers using a deep learning PDE augmentation method to optimize lift-to-drag ratios in turbulent airfoil flows at Reynolds number $5\times10^4$ and Mach number 0.4. Direct numerical simulation and…
An array of twelve circular-orifice synthetic jet actuators (SJAs) was used to provide the unsteady forcing required for flow separation control over a National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 0025 airfoil at a chord-based…
We conducted high-resolution large-eddy simulations (LESs) to explore the effects of opposition control (OC) on turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) over a wing at a chord-based Reynolds number (${Re}_c$) of 200,000. Two scenarios were studied:…
Symmetric NACA airfoils tend to undergo abrupt stall characteristics at higher angle of attacks. The abrupt stall has deteriorating effect on lift as well as the efficiency of the airfoils. Abruptness in stall restricts the airfoil to…
We present an experimental study of the aerodynamic forces on a thick and cambered airfoil at a high Reynolds number 3.6 x 10^6, which is of direct relevance for wind turbine design. Unlike thin airfoils at low chord-based Reynolds numbers,…
This study concerns the far-field boundary conditions (BCs) for airfoil simulations at high incidence where the lift and drag are comparable in magnitude and the moment is significant. A NACA 0012 airfoil was simulated at high Reynolds…
The presented investigation is motivated by the need to uncover connections between underlying rotor fluid-structure interactions and vortex dynamics to fatigue performance and characterization of flexible rotor blades, their hub, and their…
In this paper, we numerically study the oscillatory dynamics associated with the tip vortex cavitation over an elliptical hydrofoil section using our 3D variational multiphase flow solver at a Reynolds number of $Re=8.95 \times 10^5$ via…
This work investigates the spatio-temporal evolution of coherentstructures in the wake of a high-speed train. SPOD is used to extract energy spectra and empirical modes for both symmetric and antisymmetric components of the fluctuating flow…
The purpose of this work is to expand the work of Streher (2017) in order to investigate the aeroelastic instabilities generated by the flow around a moving NACA0012 airfoil. The profile has a chord length of $c=0.1 m and is exposed to a…
The ability of vortices to induce aerodynamic loads on proximal surfaces plays a significant role in a wide variety of flows. However, most studies of vortex-induced effects primarily focus on analyzing the influence of the…
During this internship, the starting vortex and its shedding from the trailing edge of an airfoil moving at constant acceleration in $^4$He has been studied. The airfoil has an angle of attack of 49.1{\deg} and corresponds to the NACA 0012,…
Three-dimensional (3D) instabilities on a (potentially turbulent) two-dimensional (2D) flow are still incompletely understood, despite recent progress. Here, based on known physical properties of such 3-D instabilities, we propose a simple,…
The aim of this work is to study the dynamics and stability of soft shape-morphing configurations and specifically the modes of interaction between the front and rear airfoil segments. Initially we present several steady-state solutions,…
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies are carried out on a two-bladed vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) operating at a wind speed of 8 m/s for the tip speed ratios ($\lambda$) of 0.50 - 3.0. The blade consists of the NACA 0021 airfoil…
In this work, wake-tail plane interactions are investigated for a tandem wing configuration in buffet conditions using hybrid RANS/LES simulations with the Automated Zonal Detached Eddy Simulation (AZDES) method. The analyzed configuration…
