In the present study, the effect of a hydrofoil trailing edge shape on the wake dynamic and its interaction with the mechanical structure is investigated. This would help better describe the physical reasons for vibration reduction when using oblique and D ...
A new theory for the streamwise turbulent fluctuations in fully developed pipe flow is proposed. The theory extends the similarities between the mean flow and the streamwise turbulence fluctuations, as observed in experimental high Reynolds number data, to ...
A detailed comparison of results from a numerical three-dimensional hydrostatic lake model with high-resolution observations of the vertical structure of the turbulent bottom boundary layer (BBL) in a medium-size lake (Lake Alpnach, Switzerland) is provide ...
The influence of confinement onto the inviscid and incompressible linear stability of the family of wakes introduced by Monkewitz [Phys. Fluids 31, 999 (1988)] is examined. The nondimensional parameters of the model, the velocity ratio Λ, defined as ratio ...
In this paper, the authors explore the conditions under which a double-diffusive interface may become unstable. Focus is placed on the case of a cold, freshwater layer above a warm, salty layer [i.e., the diffusive convection (DC) regime]. The "diffusive i ...
This study investigates the accuracy of spatially resolved skin friction velocity ut measurements using a large number of Irwin sensors (Irwin, 1981). A fast and simple procedure to calibrate the sensors against a two-component hot-film anemometer is intro ...
In parallel shear flows like pipe flow or plane Couette flow, laminar and turbulent dynamics coexist. The boundary between the two types of dynamics shows up clearly in studies that monitor the life time of a perturbation, i.e. the time it takes to relamin ...
This study investigates the accuracy of spatially resolved skin friction velocity uτ measurements using a large number of Irwin sensors (Irwin, 1981). A fast and simple procedure to calibrate the sensors against a two-component hot-film anemometer is intro ...
Most natural landscapes are characterized by multiscale (often multifractal) topography with well-known scale-invariance properties. For example, the spectral density of landscape elevation fields is often found to have a power-law scaling behaviour (with ...
Three-dimensional direct numerical simulations are performed that give us an in-depth account of the evolution and structure of the double-diffusive interface. We examine the diffusive convection regime, which, in the oceanographically relevant case, consi ...
