Quantifying Swirl Number Effects on Recirculation Zones and Vortex Dynamics in a Dual-Swirl Combustor

open access: yesEnergies
Swirl-stabilized combustors are central to gas turbine technology, where the swirl number critically determines flow structure and combustion stability. This work systematically investigates the isothermal flow in a dual-swirl combustor, focusing on two ...

Supersonic shock wave/vortex interaction [PDF]

open access: yes
Although shock wave/vortex interaction is a basic and important fluid dynamics problem, very little research has been conducted on this topic. Therefore, a detailed experimental study of the interaction between a supersonic streamwise turbulent vortex ...

Critical velocity of a finite-temperature Bose gas

open access: yes, 2016
We use classical field simulations of the homogeneous Bose gas to study the breakdown of superflow due to vortex nucleation past a cylindrical obstacle at finite temperature.

The Generation and Maintenance of Hollow PV Towers in a Forced Primitive Equation Model

open access: yesProceedings, 2017
Diabatic heating from deep moist convection in the hurricane eyewall produces a towering annular structure of elevated potential vorticity (PV), known as a hollow PV tower. For sufficiently thin annular structures, eddies can extract energy from the mean

A group-velocity criterion for breakdown of vortex flow: An application to measured inlet profiles [PDF]

open access: yes
Vortex flows exhibiting breakdown in a slightly divergent duct were measured. The slowly varying vortex flow field downstream of the entrance and upstream of the breakdown region is obtained numerically by using the inviscid quasi-cylindrical ...

Rotor aerodynamic power limits at low tip speed ratio using CFD [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
When investigating limits of rotor aerodynamic models, the Betz limit serves as a solid marker of an upper limit which no model should be able to exceed. A century ago Joukowsky (1912) proposed a rotor aerodynamic model utilizing a rotating actuator disc

Evolution of isolated turbulent trailing vortices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this work, the temporal evolution of a low swirl-number turbulent Batchelor vortex is studied using pseudospectral direct numerical simulations. The solution of the governing equations in the vorticity-velocity form allows for accurate application of ...

The breakup of the Southern Hemisphere spring polar ozone and temperature minimums from 1979 to 1987 [PDF]

open access: yes
The purpose of this study is to quantify the observations of the polar vortex breakup. The data used in this study consist of Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) data, and National Meteorological Center (NMC) analyses.

Numerical Simulation of Self-Sustained Roll Oscillations of an 80-Degree Delta Wing Caused by Leading-Edge Vortices

open access: yesAerospace
Numerical simulations of an 80-degree delta wing in free-to-roll motion are performed by applying the dynamic fluid–body interaction (DFBI) model and the overlap/chimera method using the URANS equations.
