In this study, new turbulence closure equations are derived in the light of turbulence as a continuous phase transition phenomenon. Closed-form Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations due to those closure equations are solved numerically…
A new computational framework for the simulation of turbulent flow through complex objects and along irregular boundaries is presented. This is motivated by the application of metal foams in compact heat-transfer devices, or as catalyst…
We study periodically driven Taylor-Couette turbulence, i.e. the flow confined between two concentric, independently rotating cylinders. Here, the inner cylinder is driven sinusoidally while the outer cylinder is kept at rest (time-averaged…
It is shown that the Truncated Euler Equations, i.e. a finite set of ordinary differential equations for the amplitude of the large-scale modes, can correctly describe the complex transitional dynamics that occur within the turbulent regime…
A numerical model of isotropic homogeneous turbulence with helical forcing is investigated. The resulting flow, which is essentially the prototype of the alpha^2 dynamo of mean-field dynamo theory, produces strong dynamo action with an…
We present a detailed study of of a global bifurcation occuring in a turbulent von K\'arm\'an swirling flow. In this system, the statistically steady states progressively display hysteretic behaviour when the Reynolds number is increased…
Turbulence is an ubiquitous phenomenon in natural and industrial flows. Since the celebrated work of Kolmogorov in 1941, understanding the statistical properties of fully developed turbulence has remained a major quest. In particular,…
(abridged) Context: Turbulent diffusion of large-scale flows and magnetic fields play major roles in many astrophysical systems. Aims: Our goal is to compute turbulent viscosity and magnetic diffusivity, relevant for diffusing large-scale…
This paper extends the resolvent formalism for wall turbulence proposed by McKeon and Sharma(2010) to account for the effect of streamwise-constant riblets. Under the resolvent formulation, the Navier-Stokes equations are interpreted as a…
In Navier-Stokes turbulence, energy and helicity injected at large scales are subject to a joint direct cascade, with both quantities exhibiting a spectral scaling $\propto k^{-5/3}$. We demonstrate via direct numerical simulations that the…
The torque in turbulent Taylor-Couette flows for shear Reynolds numbers Re_S up to 3x10^4 at various mean rotations is studied by means of direct numerical simulations for a radius ratio of \eta=0.71. Convergence of simulations is tested…
Dynamo action owing to helically forced turbulence and large-scale shear is studied using direct numerical simulations. The resulting magnetic field displays propagating wave-like behavior. This behavior can be modelled in terms of an…
The changes of a turbulent channel flow subjected to oscillations of wall flush-mounted rigid discs are studied by means of direct numerical simulations. The Reynolds number is $R_\tau$=$180$, based on the friction velocity of the…
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…
In this paper we investigate the properties of rapidly rotating decaying turbulence using numerical simulations and phenomenological modelling. We find that as the turbulent flow evolves in time, the Rossby number decreases to $\sim…
We seek to understand the kinetic energy spectrum in the dissipation range of fully developed turbulence. The data are obtained by direct numerical simulations (DNS) of forced Navier-Stokes equations in a periodic domain, for Taylor-scale…
Two-dimensional turbulence governed by the so-called $\alpha$ turbulence equations, which include the surface quasi-geostrophic equation ($\alpha=1$), the Navier--Stokes system ($\alpha=2$), and the governing equation for a shallow flow on…
In this paper, we present results from an experimental study into turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection forced externally by periodically modulated unidirectional rotation rates. We find that the azimuthal rotation velocity $\dot{\theta}$(t)…
By using new results from direct simulations of turbulent channels at moderate friction Reynolds numbers (Retau <= 1900) and in very large numerical boxes, we examine the corrections to the similarity assumptions in the overlap and outer…
Using data from a large-scale three-dimensional simulation of supersonic isothermal turbulence, we have tested the validity of an exact flux relation derived analytically from the Navier--Stokes equation by Falkovich, Fouxon and Oz [2010…
