The transition to turbulence in flows where the laminar profile is linearly stable requires perturbations of finite amplitude. "Optimal" perturbations are distinguished as extrema of certain functionals, and different functionals give…
In this note, which is of general stability theory interest, we discuss some of the key assertions usually stated in the context of the transition to turbulence problem. In particular, the two main points made here in the setting of the…
This sequence of fluid dynamics videos illustrates the behavior of a suspension of noncolloidal particles flowing past various bluff body obstacles within a microfluidic device. The polystyrene particles, of 7 {\mu}m diameter and volume…
We analyze a suspension of deformable particles in a pressure-driven flow. The suspension is composed of neutrally buoyant initially spherical particles and a Newtonian carrier fluid, and the flow is solved by means of direct numerical…
We investigate the turbulence statistics in a {multiphase plume made of heavy particles (particle Reynolds number at terminal velocity is 450)}. Using refractive-index-matched stereoscopic particle image velocimetry, we measure the…
In plane Couette flow, the incompressible fluid between two plane parallel walls is driven by the motion of those walls. The laminar solution, in which the streamwise velocity varies linearly in the wall-normal direction, is known to be…
Transport of fluid through a pipe is essential for the operation of macroscale machines and microfluidic devices. Conventional fluids only flow in response to external pressure. We demonstrate that an active isotropic fluid, comprised of…
The laminar-turbulent boundary S is the set separating initial conditions which relaminarise uneventfully from those which become turbulent. Phase space trajectories on this hypersurface in cylindrical pipe flow look to be chaotic and show…
Turbulence in fluids is an ubiquitous phenomenon, characterized by spontaneous transition of a smooth, laminar flow to rapidly changing, chaotic dynamics. In 1883, Reynolds experimentally demonstrated that, in an initially laminar flow of…
This experimental and numerical study examines transition to turbulence for a Cone-Cylinder-Flare geometry at Mach 7 and across a broad Reynolds number range. The focus is set on both attached boundary layers and separated shock-boundary…
Particles suspended in turbulent flows are affected by the turbulence and at the same time act back on the flow. The resulting coupling can give rise to rich variability in their dynamics. Here we report experimental results from an…
We study laminar, transitional and turbulent flow in wavy pipes using direct numerical simulations for bulk Reynolds numbers between 1-5300. Flow behaviors are analyzed in terms of the friction factor f and mean velocity statistics for…
Numerical and experimental studies of transitional pipe flow have shown the prevalence of coherent flow structures that are dominated by downstream vortices. They attract special attention because they contribute predominantly to the…
A model-based description of the scaling and radial location of turbulent fluctuations in turbulent pipe flow is presented and used to illuminate the scaling behaviour of the very large scale motions. The model is derived by treating the…
We study the global, i.e. radially averaged, high Reynolds number (asymptotic) scaling of streamwise turbulence intensity squared defined as ${I^2=\overline{u^2}/U^2}$, where $u$ and $U$ are the fluctuating and mean velocities, respectively…
To investigate the attenuation of turbulence in a periodic cube due to the addition of spherical solid particles, we conduct direct numerical simulations using an immersed boundary method with resolving flow around each particle. Numerical…
We study the turbulent square duct flow of dense suspensions of neutrally-buoyant spherical particles. Direct numerical simulations (DNS) are performed in the range of volume fractions $\phi=0-0.2$, using the immersed boundary method (IBM)…
We report experimental observations of turbulent flow with spherical particles in a square duct. Three particle sizes namely: $2H/d_{p}$ = 40, 16 and 9 ($2H$ being the duct full height and $d_{p}$ being the particle diameter) are…
The dynamics of inertial particles in turbulence is modelled and investigated by means of direct numerical simulation of an axisymmetrically expanding homogeneous turbulent strained flow. This flow can mimic the dynamics of particles close…
We consider suspensions of neutrally-buoyant finite-size rigid spherical particles in channel flow and investigate the relation between the particle dynamics and the mean bulk behavior of the mixture for Reynolds numbers $500 \le Re \le…
