Buoyancy Driven Turbulence In A Vertical Pipe

Direct Numerical Simulation of Square Vortex Flows
Atmospheric and oceanic flows are often modeled as two-dimensional due to their large planar extents (∼ 1000 km) and small vertical extent (∼ 10 km). Most phenomena in these systems are governed by the theory of two-dimensional ... -
The Dynamics Of Erosion Of Gradient-Zone In Solar Ponds
(2012-05-25) -
Experiments On Rolling Sphere Submerged In An Incompressible Fluid
(2016-09-15)Experiments are done using a smooth solid rigid homogeneous acrylic sphere rolling on an inclined plane which is submerged in water. The motivation for these experiments comes from a need to understand a class of solid-fluid ... -
High Reynolds Number Flow Over A Backward-Facing Step
(2016-06-21)Flow separation and reattachment happens in many fluid mechanical situations occurring in engineering applications as well as in nature. The flow over a backward-facing step represents a geometrically simple flow situation ... -
Hydrodynamics Of An Oscillating Foil With A Long Flexible Trailing Edge
(2010-09-24)In nature, many swimming and flying creatures use the principle of oscillatory lift-based propulsion. Often the flapping element is flexible, totally or partially. The flow dynamics because of a flexible flap is thus of ... -
Numerical Simulation of Convection Dominated Flows using High Resolution Spectral Method
(2018-03-19)A high resolution spectrally accurate three-dimensional flow solver is developed in order to simulate convection dominated fluid flows. The governing incompressible Navier Stokes equations along with the energy equation ... -
Sedimentation Of Heavy Particles In Turbulence
(2010-08-06)Behavior of particles in buoyancy driven turbulent flow at Ra ≈ 10º is investigated experimentally. The volume fraction of the particles is low enough for the inter particle influence to be neglected, the mass loading ... -
Shock Wave-boundary Layer Interaction in Supersonic Flow over Compression Ramp and Forward-Facing Step
(2018-01-12)Shock wave-boundary layer interactions (SWBLIs) have been studied ex-tensively due to their practical importance in the design of high speed ve-hicles. These interactions, especially the ones leading to shock induced ... -
Unsteady Flow Field Downstream Of A Sudden Expansion
(2009-04-02)Separating and reattaching flows are important in a large number of engineering configurations. The flow through a sudden expansion (backward-facing step) represents a conceptually simple case of this class of flows and hence ...
