Population Dynamics At High Reynolds Number [PDF]
We study the statistical properties of population dynamics evolving in a realistic two-dimensional compressible turbulent velocity field. We show that the interplay between turbulent dynamics and population growth and saturation leads to quasi-localization and a remarkable reduction in the carrying capacity. The statistical properties of the population

Reynolds number effects on the Reynolds-stress budgets in turbulent channels [PDF]
Budgets for the nonzero components of the Reynolds-stress tensor are presented for numerical channels with Reynolds numbers in the range Reτ=180–2000. The scaling of the different terms is discussed, both above and within the buffer and viscous layers. Above x2+≈150, most budget components scale reasonably well with uτ3/h, but the scaling with uτ4/ν is

Low-Reynolds-number swimming in gels [PDF]
Many microorganisms swim through gels, materials with nonzero zero-frequency elastic shear modulus, such as mucus. Biological gels are typically heterogeneous, containing both a structural scaffold (network) and a fluid solvent. We analyze the swimming of an infinite sheet undergoing transverse traveling wave deformations in the "two-fluid" model of a ...

Lagrangian controllability at low Reynolds number [PDF]
In this paper, we establish a result of Lagrangian controllability for a fluid at low Reynolds number, driven by the stationary Stokes equation. This amounts to the possibility of displacing a part of a fluid from one zone to another by suitably using a boundary control.

Decay of Turbulence at High Reynolds Numbers [PDF]
Turbulent motions in a fluid decay at a certain rate once stirring has stopped. The role of the most basic parameter in fluid mechanics, the Reynolds number, in setting the decay rate is not generally known. This Letter concerns the high-Reynolds-number limit of the process. In a classical grid-turbulence wind-tunnel experiment that both reaches higher

Towards the definition of a benchmark for low Reynolds number propeller aeroacoustics
Experimental and numerical results of a propeller of 0.3 m diameter operated in quiescent standard ambient conditions at 5000 RPM and axial velocity ranging from 0 to 20 m/s and advance ratio ranging from 0 to 0.8 are presented as a preliminary step ...

A squirmer across Reynolds numbers [PDF]
The self-propulsion of a spherical squirmer – a model swimming organism that achieves locomotion via steady tangential movement of its surface – is quantified across the transition from viscously to inertially dominated flow. Specifically, the flow around a squirmer is computed for Reynolds numbers ($Re$) between 0.01 and 1000 by numerical solution of ...

Spectral analysis of the budget equation in turbulent channel flows at high Reynolds number [PDF]
The transport equations for the variances of the velocity components are investigated using data from direct numerical simulations of incompressible channel flows at friction Reynolds number ( $Re_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}}$ ) up to $Re_{\unicode[STIX ...

Vortex-induced vibration of cylinder under sub-critical Reynolds number
ObjectiveIn order to achieve the accurate prediction of the amplitude response of a vortex-induced vibrating cylinder under the sub-critical Reynolds number, a method for establishing a Cl-A/D (lift coefficient-amplitude ratio)model of the forced ...
