Direct numerical simulation of driven cavity flows [PDF]
Direct numerical simulations of 2D driven cavity flows have been performed. The simulations exhibit that the flow converges to a periodically oscillating state at Re=11,000, and reveal that the dynamics is chaotic at Re=22,000. The dimension of the attractor and the Kolmogorov entropy have been computed.

Direct numerical simulation of intermittent turbulence under stably stratified conditions [PDF]
In this paper, we simulate intermittent turbulence (also known as bursting events) in stably stratified open-channel flows using direct numerical simulation. Clear signatures of this intriguing phenomenon are observed for a range of stabilities. However,

Potential Vorticity Generation in Breaking Gravity Waves
Potential vorticity (PV) is an important quantity in stratified flows because it is conserved following the flow in the absence of forcing and viscous and diffusive effects.

Direct numerical simulation of matrix diffusion across fracture/matrix interface
Accurate descriptions of matrix diffusion across the fracture/matrix interface are critical to assessing contaminant migration in fractured media. The classical transfer probability method is only applicable for relatively large diffusion coefficients ...

Direct numerical simulations of aeolian sand ripples [PDF]
Significance Wind ripples decorate the flanks of dunes in amazingly regular patterns, on both Earth and Mars. Their emergence at a wavelength much larger than the grain size is currently unexplained. We report direct numerical simulations of grains interacting with a wind flow that are, for the first time to our knowledge, able to reproduce ...

Direct numerical simulation of turbulent flow above zigzag riblets
We investigate the drag-reducing performance of a zigzag riblet inspired by the “Miura fold” and its influence on the streamwise vortices above a wall-bounded turbulent flow through direct numerical simulations of channel flows. The employed channel wall

Optimal Taylor–Couette flow: direct numerical simulations [PDF]
AbstractWe numerically simulate turbulent Taylor–Couette flow for independently rotating inner and outer cylinders, focusing on the analogy with turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard flow. Reynolds numbers of $R{e}_{i} = 8\times 1{0}^{3} $ and $R{e}_{o} = \pm 4\times 1{0}^{3} $ of the inner and outer cylinders, respectively, are reached, corresponding to Taylor ...

Direct numerical simulation of supercritical annular electroconvection [PDF]
We use direct numerical simulation to study electrically driven convection in an annular thin film. The simulation models a laboratory experiment that consists of a weakly conducting, submicron thick liquid crystal film suspended between two concentric electrodes. The film is driven to convect by imposing a sufficiently large voltage across it.
