Turbulent-laminar patterns in shear flows without walls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Turbulent-laminar intermittency, typically in the form of bands and spots, is a ubiquitous feature of the route to turbulence in wall-bounded shear flows.

Analytical theory of forced rotating sheared turbulence: The perpendicular case [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Rotation and shear flows are ubiquitous features of many astrophysical and geophysical bodies. To understand their origin and effect on turbulent transport in these systems, we consider a forced turbulence and investigate the combined effect of rotation ...

Effects of System Rotation on Turbulence Structure: A Review Relevant to Turbomachinery Flows

open access: yesInternational Journal of Rotating Machinery, 1998
Turbomachine rotor flows may be affected by system rotation in various ways. Coriolis and centrifugal forces are responsible for (i) modification of the structure of turbulence in boundary layers and free shear layers, (ii) the generation of secondary ...

Effects of turbulence models and grid densities on computational accuracy of flows over a vertical axis wind turbine

open access: yesInternational Journal of Renewable Energy Development, 2018
Flows through a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) are very complex due to their inherent unsteadiness caused by large variations of the angle of attacks as the turbine is rotating and changing its azimuth angles simultaneously.

Turbulence structure and near-wall suppression in equilibrium and nonequilibrium sediment transport: An experimental study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Sediment Research
Sediment transport in open channels plays a significant role in shaping turbulent flow structures, influencing sediment dynamics and flow resistance. Transport regimes are classified into equilibrium, where sediment inflow and outflow are balanced, and ...

A reinforcement‐learning approach for individual pitch control

open access: yesWind Energy, 2022
Individual pitch control has shown great capability of alleviating the oscillating loads experienced by wind turbine blades due to wind shear, atmospheric turbulence, yaw misalignment, or wake impingement.

Elastic turbulence in entangled semi-dilute DNA solutions measured with optical coherence tomography velocimetry

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The flow instabilities of solutions of high molecular weight DNA in the entangled semi-dilute concentration regime were investigated using optical coherence tomography velocimetry, a technique that provides high spatial (probe volumes of 3.4 pL) and ...

Shear Number as a Practical Tool for Flow Regime Evaluation and Education

open access: yesFluids
Turbulence is a complex and challenging concept, often simplified for students through the use of the Reynolds Number (Re), used to indicate when flow transitions from laminar to turbulent occurs.
