Numerical Study of the Passive Motion of Airfoils in Porous Media [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Fluid Mechanics
This study proposes adding a porous medium layer to the leading edge of a rigid airfoil and investigates the influence of various porous medium properties on the passive propulsion performance of the airfoil in a Kármán vortex street, using numerical ...

Effect of NACA0012 Airfoil Pitching Oscillation on Flow Past a Cylinder

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
The flow past a cylinder is a classical problem in flow physics. In a certain range of Reynolds number, there will be Karman vortex street phenomenon in the wake of a cylinder, which will greatly increase the pressure drag of the cylinder. By controlling

Topological fluid mechanics of the formation of the Kármán-vortex street [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We explore the two-dimensional flow around a circular cylinder with the aim of elucidating the changes in the topology of the vorticity field that lead to the formation of the Kármán vortex street. Specifically, we analyse the formation and disappearance

Numerical Investigation on the Effect of Asymmetry of Flow Velocity on the Wake Vortex of Hydrofoils

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
The Karman vortex street is a common flow phenomenon. In hydraulic machinery, it is usually located downstream of the guide vanes and the runner blades, which reduces hydraulic performance and may also cause fatigue damage to the structure.

Inhomogeneous dominance patterns of competing phytoplankton groups in the wake of an island [PDF]

open access: yesNonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2010
We investigate the competition between two different functional groups of phytoplankton in the wake of an island close to a coastal upwelling region. We couple a simple biological model with three trophic levels and a hydrodynamic model of a von Kármán ...

A numerical study of an inline oscillating cylinder in a free stream [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Simulations of a cylinder undergoing externally controlled sinusoidal oscillations in the free stream direction have been performed. The frequency of oscillation was kept equal to the vortex shedding frequency from a fixed cylinder, while the amplitude ...
