Reynolds stress scaling in the near-wall region [PDF]
A new scaling is derived that yields a Reynolds number independent profile for all components of the Reynolds stress in the near-wall region of wall bounded flows. The scaling demonstrates the important role played by the wall shear stress fluctuations and how the large eddies determine the Reynolds number dependence of the near-wall turbulence ...

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 ...

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 ...

Competing flow and collision effects in a monodispersed liquid-solid fluidized bed at a moderate Archimedes number [PDF]
We study the effects of fluid-particle and particle-particle interactions in a three-dimensional monodispersed reactor with unstable fluidization. Simulations were conducted using the Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) for particle Reynolds numbers of 20-70 with an Archimedes number of 23600.

Bifurcation aspect of wide-gap spherical Couette flow emphasizing polygonal coherence and wave numbers observed over transitional Reynolds numbers [PDF]
This study numerically investigates the bifurcation aspect of the wide-gap spherical Couette flow (SCF), with an emphasis on the competition among polygonal coherence with different wave numbers observed over transitional Reynolds numbers. Focusing on a representative case, the half-radius ratio, we confirm that the axisymmetric state becomes unstable ...
