Towards Reconstruction of Complex Flow Fields Using Unit Flows

open access: yesFluids, 2021
Many complex turbulent flows in nature and engineering can be qualitatively regarded as being constituted of multiple simpler unit flows. The objective of this work is to characterize the coherent structures in such complex flows as a combination of ...

Transitions in the flow patterns and aerodynamic characteristics of the flow around staggered rows of cylinders. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
A two-dimensional numerical study of flow across rows of identical square cylinders arranged in staggered fashion is carried out. This study will unreveal complex flow physics depending upon the Reynolds number (Re) and gap spacing (g) between the ...

Stereo Digital Particle Image Velocimetry Investigation of a Free Surface Mixing Layer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Shear flows in the vicinity of a free surface are a problem with numerous applications, perhaps the most obvious being the wakes of seagoing surface vessels.

Observations of wind farm wake recovery at an operating wind farm [PDF]

open access: yesWind Energy Science
The interplay of momentum surrounding wind farms significantly influences wake recovery, affecting the speed at which wakes return to their freestream velocities. Under stable atmospheric conditions, wind farm wakes can extend over considerable distances,

Numerical investigation of transitional supersonic axisymmetric wakes

open access: yes, 2006
Transitional supersonic axisymmetric wakes are investigated by conducting various numerical experiments. The main objective is to identify hydrodynamic instability mechanisms in the flow at M=2.46 for several Reynolds numbers, and relating these to ...

Surface tension-induced global instability of planar jets and wakes

open access: yes, 2012
The effect of surface tension on global stability of co-flow jets and wakes at a moderate Reynolds number is studied. The linear temporal two-dimensional global modes are computed without approximations.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Hierarchical Twin Networks Enable Exceptional Strength and Fracture Toughness in Titanium

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A commercial‐purity titanium with hierarchical ultrafine twin structures delivers an exceptional combination of fracture toughness (KJIc) of 187 MPa·m1/2 and specific yield strength of 140 MPa·cm3·g−1, in which pre‐engineered high‐density twin boundaries stimulate massive and dislocations to blunt crack tip.
