The hunt for the Karman 'constant' revisited

The log law of the wall, joining the inner, near-wall mean velocity profile (MVP) in wall-bounded turbulent flows to the outer region, has been a permanent fixture of turbulence research for over hundred years, but there is still no general agreement on th ...

On the Capability of Wall-Modeled Large Eddy Simulations to Predict Particle Dispersion in Complex Turbulent Flows

Mohamed Aly Hashem Mohamed Sayed

Predicting particle transport in turbulent flows has a plethora of applications, some of which are: the transport of atmospheric aerosols, the deposition of blood cells in the arteries of human bodies and the atomization of fuel droplets in combustion cham ...

Coexistence of Active and Hydrodynamic Turbulence in Two-Dimensional Active Nematics

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In active nematic liquid crystals, activity is able to drive chaotic spatiotemporal flows referred to as active turbulence. Active turbulence has been characterized through theoretical and experimental work as a low Reynolds number phenomenon. We show that ...

Particle subgrid scale modeling in hybrid RANS/LES of turbulent channel flow at low to moderate Reynolds number

Konstantin Mikityuk

Particle dispersion in a periodic channel is studied using the elliptic relaxation hybrid RANS/LES (ER-HRL) model. This approach employs a four-equation linear eddy viscosity (LEV) model while in Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) mode near the wall, a ...

Stationary Structures near the Kolmogorov and Poiseuille Flows in the 2d Euler Equations

Klaus Martin Widmayer

We study the behavior of solutions to the incompressible 2d Euler equations near two canonical shear flows with critical points, the Kolmogorov and Poiseuille flows, with consequences for the associated Navier-Stokes problems. We exhibit a large family of ...

Modelling the vertical structure of turbulent free-surface flows over rough permeable beds

Christophe Ancey, Joris Heyman, Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau

Understanding diffusive processes across the sediment-water interface is important for quantifying hyporheic exchanges and related biogeochemical processes (e.g., denitrification, biomass growth). Viscous, turbulent and dispersive effects all contribute to ...

On Von Karman Modeling For Turbulent Flow Near A Wall

Jacques Rappaz, Jonathan Rochat

Mixing-length models are often used by engineers in order to take into account turbulence phenomena in a flow. This kind of model is obtained by adding a turbulent viscosity to the laminar one in Navier-Stokes equations. When the flow is confined between t ...

Hydrodynamic loading of perforated disks in creeping flows

François Gallaire, Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Lorenzo Siconolfi, Matteo Pezzulla

We present results from an experimental investigation of a viscous fluid driven through and around porous disks at low and moderate Reynolds number conditions: Re = O(10(-4)-10(-3)) and Re = O(1-10). Specifically, we quantify the hydrodynamic drag that the ...

When droplets deform, break up and propel microswimmers

Giacomo Gallino

This thesis investigates the motion and breakup of droplets in low-Reynolds-number flows, focusing on two aspects. In the first part, we study the breakup of droplets in subcritical flow conditions, when there exists a linearly stable solution for the drop ...

Revisiting the quest for a universal log-law and the role of pressure gradient in "canonical" wall-bounded turbulent flows

Peter Monkewitz

The trinity of so-called "canonical" wall-bounded turbulent flows, comprising the zero pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer, abbreviated ZPG TBL, turbulent pipe flow, and channel/duct flows has continued to receive intense attention as new and more r ...
