Adaptive Filtering for Large Eddy Simulation of Flows with Shocks and its Application to Launch Pad Deflectors
During lift-off of launch vehicles jets from nozzles impinge on a wedge deflector which directs the jet away from the rocket along passages. As a high Reynolds number turbulent flow the whole region has a broad spectrum ... -
Bubble and conical forms of vortex breakdown in swirling jets
The present study focusses on vortex breakdown (VB), which occurs in axially convected swirling flows and is characterized by the development of an internal stagnation point and regions of reverse flow. VB has been ... -
Co-operative Destabilization of a Flat Plate Boundary Layer by a Free Stream Convecting Vortex and Wall Suction/Blowing
The stability of wall bounded shear layer at subcritical Reynolds number disturbed by a freestream convecting vortex and unsteady suction/blowing at the wall was studied. A counterclockwise line vortex was convected parallel ... -
Experimental Study Of Plasma Actuator Characteristics And Optimization Of Configuration
(2013-06-26)Plasma actuators are devices which function by creating a discharge in air at atmospheric conditions. These devices have been demonstrated to effectively delay flow separation and enhance the lift- drag characteristics of ... -
Experiments on the Late Stages of Boundary Layer Transition
(2018-03-19)In canonical boundary layer transition, a uniform laminar flow perturbed by 2-d T-S waves develops downstream into 3-d waves, which eventually break down with turbulent spots appearing. Previous experimental studies have ... -
Large Eddy Simulation of Free and Impinging Subsonic Jets and their Sound Fields
(2018-02-27)Evaluating aerodynamic noise from aircraft engines is a design stage process, so that it conform to regulations at airports. Aerodynamic noise is also a principal source of structural vibration and internal noise in ... -
Large Eddy Simulation of Multiphase Flows
(2018-06-05)Multiphase flows are a common phenomenon. Rains, sediment transport in rivers, snow and dust storms, mud slides and avalanches are examples of multiphase flows occurring in nature. Blood flow is an example of multiphase flow ... -
LES Study Of Free Jets And Jets Impinging On Cuboidal Cavity
(2016-09-15)Numerical solutions based on explicit filtered LES for computing turbulent flow field, of free round jets and impinging round jet on cuboidal cavities, are presented and discussed in this dissertation work. One-parameter ... -
Numerical Simulations Of Axisymmetric Near Wakes At High Reynolds Numbers
(2009-03-13)The flow past the needle of a Pelton turbine injector is an axisymmetric wake embedded in a round jet. The wake does not fully relax to yield a uniform velocity jet due to the short distance between ... -
A Numerical Study of Changes to Flow Organization and their Prognostic Measures
(2018-05-23)Flow induced self-oscillations cause acoustic pressure oscillations of large amplitude in pipe flows. If Reynolds number is treated as a parameter, these floinduced oscillations occur only at discrete and critical values ... -
A Numerical Study On Absolute Instability Of Low Density Jets
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-20)A spectacular instability has been observed in low density round jets when the density ratio of jet fluid to ambient fluid falls below a threshold of approximately 0.6. This phenomenon has been observed in non-buoyant jets ... -
On late stages of transition in round jets
A round jet is one of the simplest canonical axisymmetric free shear flows that occur both in engineering applications and natural phenomena. A laminar-turbulent transition process is inherent to its development involving ... -
A Study Of A Vortex Particle Method For Vortex Breakdown Phenomena
(2010-07-06)Vortex breakdown is an important phenomenon observed in swirling flows involving the development of a stagnation point on the axis of the vortex followed by a region of recirculation when the swirl increases beyond a ... -
Subsonic, turbulent, round and plane, twin jets
Multiple jets appear in many engineering applications such as engines of launch vehicles and aircraft, fuel injectors and other mixing devices. Twin jets are models to understand the differences from single jets that can ...
