Large-eddy simulations (LESs) of obstacle-free wakes, in a channel like geometry with an homogeneous transverse direction, are carried out in order to investigate the influence of confinement on turbulent wakes. The numerical solver makes use of a multi-do ...
River and open-channel flows are free surface boundary layer flows with complex 3D, large-scale, turbulent structures. The study of 2D and 3D large-scale turbulent flow structures is a great challenge for physicists, mathematicians and engineers from such ...
The shedding process of the von Kármán vortices is shown to be highly related to the state of the boundary layer over the entire hydrofoil: The selected hydrofoil has a laminar-turbulent boundary layer transition at mid-chord for an incidence angle of 0° a ...
Plane Couette flow and pressure-driven pipe flow are two examples of flows where turbulence sets in while the laminar profile is still linearly stable. Experiments and numerical studies have shown that the transition has features compatible with the format ...
This paper presents Large Eddy Simulations of a compressible turbulent flow through a duct of square cross-section with a localized heat source on its bottom wall. The potential applications are related to the accidental heat release in a road tunnel. A co ...
The present study deals with the shedding process of the Kármán vortices at the trailing edge of a 2D hydrofoil at high Reynolds numbers. Investigations are performed in order to evaluate the ability of an unsteady numerical simulation to accurately reprod ...
The paper presents an in depth assessment of different similarity laws for the mean velocity profile in zero pressure gradient (ZPG) turbulent boundary layers (TBL's) in comparison with mostly experimental and few computational data. The emphasis is on the ...
The asymptotic behavior of mean velocity and integral parameters in flat plate turbulent boundary layers under zero pressure gradient are studied for Reynolds numbers approaching infinity. Using the classical two-layer approach of Millikan, Rotta, and Clau ...
This study investigates the modifications of the turbulent boundary layer that develops on the suction side of a NACA0015 hydrofoil when a stable partial cavity takes place near the leading edge of the foil. The velocity field measured in non cavitating co ...
The problem of accurate Eulerian-Lagrangian modeling of inertial particle dispersion in large-eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent wall-bounded flows is addressed. We run direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulent channel flow at shear Reynolds number Re ...
