Download or read book Advances in LES of Complex Flows written by Rainer Friedrich and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The articles focus on new developments in the field of large-eddy simulation of complex flows and are related to the topics: modelling and analysis of subgrid scales, numerical issues in LES cartesian grids for complex geometries, curvilinear and non-structured grids for complex geometries. DES and RANS-LES coupling, aircraft wake vortices, combustion and magnetohydrodynamics. Progress has been made not only in understanding and modelling the dynamics of unresolved scales, but also in designing means that prevent the contamination of LES predictions by discretization errors. Progress is reported as well on the use of cartesian and curvilinear coordinates to compute flow in and around complex geometries and in the field of LES with unstructured grids. A chapter is dedicated to the detached-eddy simulation technique and its recent achievements and to the promising technique of coupling RANS and LES solutions in order to push the resolution-based Reynolds number limit of wall-resolving LES to higher values. Complexity due to physical mechanisms links the last two chapters. It is shown that LES constitutes the tool to analyse the physics of aircraft wake vortices during landing and takeoff. Its thorough understanding is a prerequisite for reliable predictions of the distance between consecutive landing airplanes. Subgrid combustion modelling for LES of single and two-phase reacting flows is demonstrated to have the potential to deal with finite-rate kinetics in high Reynolds number flows of full-scale gas turbine engines. Fluctuating magnetic fields are more reliably predicted by LES when tensor-diffusivity rather than gradient-diffusion models are used. An encouraging result in the context of turbulence control by magnetic fields.

Download or read book Fluid Mechanics and the Environment Dynamical Approaches written by John L. Lumley and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-01-11 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this volume were written by his students and colleagues to honor Sidney Leibovich, Samuel B. Eckert Professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University, in commemoration of his 60th birthday, 2 April 1999. They were presented at a symposium held at Cornell, 23 and 24 August 1999. Sid obtained his Bachelor of Science degree with honors from The California Institute of Technology in 1961, graduating first in his class. He came to Cornell to work with Geoffrey Ludford on Magnetohydrodynamics, and obtained his Ph.D. in 1965 in the Department of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. He spent a year at University College, London as a NATO Postdoctoral Fellow, and returned to Cornell as an Assistant Professor. He has been here ever since, and is currently Director of the Sibley School. Since returning to Cornell, Sid has concentrated on rotating fluids and n- linear waves, in various combinations and applications, producing some 3.2 - pers a year with an applied-mathematical bent. In particular this interest led to both Langmuir circulation and vortex breakdown, two areas in which Sid has had enormous influence, and both, of course, examples of rotating fluids interacting with waves. It was impossible to work in this area without being distracted by the study of the nonlinear dispersive and dissipative waves themselves, and Sid has made substantial contributions in this area.

Download or read book IUTAM Symposium on Elementary Vortices and Coherent Structures Significance in Turbulence Dynamics written by Shigeo Kida and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-05-05 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elementary vortices – those tubular swirling vortical structures with concentrated vorticity commonly observed in various kinds of turbulent flows – play key roles in turbulence dynamics (e.g. enhancement of mixing, diffusion and resistance) and characterize turbulence statistics (e.g. intermittency). Because of their dynamical importance, manipulation of elementary vortices is expected to be effective and useful in turbulence control as well as in construction of turbulence modeling. The most advanced research works on elementary vortices and related problems were presented and discussed at the IUTAM Symposium in Kyoto, Japan, 26-28 October 2004. This book contains 40 contributions presented there, the subjects of which cover vortex dynamics, coherent structures, chaotic advection and mixing, statistical properties of turbulence, rotating and stratified turbulence, instability and transition, dynamics of thin vortices, finite-time singularity, and superfluid turbulence. The book should be useful for readers of graduate and advanced levels in the field of fluid turbulence.

Download or read book Numerical Study of Unsteady Low reynolds Number Wing Performance written by Ashok Gopalarathnam and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unsteady motions of airfoils at low Reynolds numbers were studied computationally using low-order vortex lattice methods and using two high-order methods: a Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes code and an Immersed Boundary method. Results from the low-order methods compared well with experimental and computational results in the literature for small reduced amplitudes and frequencies. The high-order methods were compared with experiments on high intensity pitch and plunging motions at Reynolds numbers of 10,000 and 40,000. The pitch (rotation about the quarter chord) and plunge motions were at reduced frequencies of 3.93 and with kinematically equivalent amplitudes of effective angle of attack at the quarter-chord location. For the plunge cases, agreement between computation and experiment was qualitatively excellent and quantitatively acceptable, but for the pitch cases, the wake structure in the experiment was markedly different from that predicted by both computations, which were however similar among one another. In all cases, Reynolds number effects were found to be negligible. On-going research aims to determine the parameters necessary for pitch-plunge equivalence and also resolve the poor experiment-computation agreement for pitch.

Download or read book Microfluidics written by Stéphane Colin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-06 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent development of microscale technologies makes it possible to design complex microsystems devoted to transport, dosing, mixing, analysis or even synthesis of fluids. Applications are numerous and exist in almost every industrial field, from biotechnology and healthcare to aeronautics and advanced materials manufacturing. Microfluidics is a relatively new research area, usually comprising work with microsystems and involving internal fluid flows with characteristic dimensions of the order of one micrometer (1 x 10 -6 m). This book provides engineers and researchers with a range of tools for modeling, experimenting on, and simulating these microflows, as a preliminary step in designing and optimizing fluidic microsystems. The various consequences of miniaturization on the hydrodynamics of gas, liquid or two-phase flows, as well as on associated heat transfer phenonema, are analyzed. The book is illustrated with examples that demonstrate the wide diversity of applications, and the breadth of novel uses of these fluidic microsystems.
