Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents several new findings in the field of turbulent duct flows, which are important for a range of industrial applications. It presents both high-quality experiments and cutting-edge numerical simulations, providing a level of insight and rigour rarely found in PhD theses. The scientific advancements concern the effect of the Earth’s rotation on large duct flows, the experimental confirmation of marginal turbulence in a pressure-driven square duct flow (previously only predicted in simulations), the identification of similar marginal turbulence in wall-driven flows using simulations (for the first time by any means) and, on a separate but related topic, a comprehensive experimental study on the phenomenon of drag reduction via polymer additives in turbulent duct flows. In turn, the work on drag reduction resulted in a correlation that provides a quantitative prediction of drag reduction based on a single, measurable material property of the polymer solution, regardless of the flow geometry or concentration. The first correlation of its kind, it represents an important advancement from both a scientific and practical perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerical Methods in Turbulence Simulation provides detailed specifications of the numerical methods needed to solve important problems in turbulence simulation. Numerical simulation of turbulent fluid flows is challenging because of the range of space and time scales that must be represented. This book provides explanations of the numerical error and stability characteristics of numerical techniques, along with treatments of the additional numerical challenges that arise in large eddy simulations. Chapters are written as tutorials by experts in the field, covering specific both contexts and applications. Three classes of turbulent flow are addressed, including incompressible, compressible and reactive, with a wide range of the best numerical practices covered. A thorough introduction to the numerical methods is provided for those without a background in turbulence, as is everything needed for a thorough understanding of the fundamental equations. The small scales that must be resolved are generally not localized around some distinct small-scale feature, but instead are distributed throughout a volume. These characteristics put particular strain on the numerical methods used to simulate turbulent flows. Includes a detailed review of the numerical approximation issues that impact the simulation of turbulence Provides a range of examples of large eddy simulation techniques Discusses the challenges posed by boundary conditions in turbulence simulation and provides approaches to addressing them

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: obtained are still severely limited to low Reynolds numbers (about only one decade better than direct numerical simulations), and the interpretation of such calculations for complex, curved geometries is still unclear. It is evident that a lot of work (and a very significant increase in available computing power) is required before such methods can be adopted in daily's engineering practice. I hope to l"Cport on all these topics in a near future. The book is divided into six chapters, each· chapter in subchapters, sections and subsections. The first part is introduced by Chapter 1 which summarizes the equations of fluid mechanies, it is developed in C~apters 2 to 4 devoted to the construction of turbulence models. What has been called "engineering methods" is considered in Chapter 2 where the Reynolds averaged equations al"C established and the closure problem studied (§1-3). A first detailed study of homogeneous turbulent flows follows (§4). It includes a review of available experimental data and their modeling. The eddy viscosity concept is analyzed in §5 with the l"Csulting ~alar-transport equation models such as the famous K-e model. Reynolds stl"Css models (Chapter 4) require a preliminary consideration of two-point turbulence concepts which are developed in Chapter 3 devoted to homogeneous turbulence. We review the two-point moments of velocity fields and their spectral transforms (§ 1), their general dynamics (§2) with the particular case of homogeneous, isotropie turbulence (§3) whel"C the so-called Kolmogorov's assumptions are discussed at length.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid mixing represents an important component of the field of fluid dynamics, what makes the understanding of this subject so meaningful from both the fundamental and applied (e.g. industrial processes) point of view. In miniaturised geometries, under typical conditions, mixing is a slow, difficult and inefficient process due to the naturally laminar character of these flows, which forces the homogenisation of different fluid elements to occur via molecular diffusion instead of faster-acting advective transport. However, recent experimental studies on low-Reynolds-number viscoelastic flows have shown that efficient mixing can be triggered in several geometrical configurations (including micro-scale devices), by the phenomenon of elastic turbulence. The first part of this thesis is devoted to the understanding and investigation of numerical challenges present in the domain of non-Newtonian fluid dynamics, focusing in particular on the high-Weissenberg number problem. The latter manifests as a breakdown of the numerical scheme when the polymeric extra-stress evolution equations are implemented in a direct way, which poses severe limits to the possibility to accurately simulate elastic turbulent flows. We provide numerical evidence of the beneficial effect (in terms of increased stability) of the square-root decomposition of the extra-stress in a finite-volume-based implementation of the governing equations in a two-dimensional channel. The second part of the thesis reports about the emergence and characterisation of purely-elastic instabilities in numerical simulations of zero-Reynolds-number Oldroyd-B fluids in a two-dimensional cross-slot geometry. By means of extensive numerical work, we provide a detailed characterisation of the purely-elastic instabilities arising in the system for wide ranges of both the fluid elasticity and the polymer concentration. For concentrated solutions and large enough Weissenberg numbers, our simulations indicate the emergence of disordered flow pointing to elastic turbulence. We analyse the transition to irregular dynamics and characterise the statistical properties of such highly elastic flows, discussing the similarities and differences with experimental results from the literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the final report of a three-year, Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The project was a study of structures of fluid turbulence using high-resolution direct numerical simulation and the theory development based on observations and measurements on the numerical simulations. Significant advances have been made in the study of fundamental fluid turbulence through numerical and theoretical work. The research has been focussed on the following areas: (1) The dynamics of advected passive scalar: Using the equations of motion, we analytically predict the anomalous scaling exponents for a passive scalar advected by fluid turbulence. The exponents are verified through large-scale simulation with 81922 mesh points. This is the first case in which anomalous scaling exponents for a turbulence problem have been deduced from the equations of motion. (2) The inertial range scaling in three-dimensional (3D) turbulence: High-resolution direct numerical simulations of 3D Navier-Stokes turbulence with normal viscosity and hyperviscosity are carried out to study the inertial-range statistics. It is found that both the scalings and the probability distribution functions are independent of the dissipation mechanism, but the near-dissipation-range fluctuations show significant structural differences; (3) Statistics and structures of pressure field, vorticity, and dissipation in three-dimensional incompressible isotropic turbulence have been studied. The statistical relations among pressure, vorticity, dissipation, and kinetic energy are investigated using a conditional averaging process; and (4) The refined similarity hypothesis: We studied the conditionally averaged velocity increments as a function of the locally averaged dissipation. Our results provide direct evidence in support of the refined similarity hypotheses.
