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 ... -
Interaction of Bubbles with Vortical Structures
(2017-09-23)Bubbly turbulent flows occur in a variety of industrial, naval and geophysical problems. In these flows, the bubbles in the flow interact with turbulence and/or vortical structures present in the continuous phase, resulting ... -
Torque transport, mean velocity profiles and turbulent statistics of a wide-gap Taylor Couette flow
Wall-bounded turbulent flows that possess finite curvature of the mean flow streamlines are known to be starkly different from their plane counterparts. One of the primary distinguishing features of such flows is the ... -
Turbulent Free Convection Over Horizontal Surfaces
This thesis deals with turbulent free convection in a horizontal fluid layer above a heated surface. The work can be roughly divided into two parts. In the &st part a model is proposed for the near wall dynamics in ... -
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 ...
