Book Linear and Non linear Global Instability of Attached and Separated Boundary layer Flows Over a Flat Plate

Download or read book Linear and Non linear Global Instability of Attached and Separated Boundary layer Flows Over a Flat Plate written by Stefania Cherubini and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this thesis is to describe the linear and non-linear dynamics of both attached and separated boundary-layer flows over a flat plate at low Reynolds numbers. The linear dynamics, driven by the interactions among the non-orthogonal eigenvectors, is studied using two global instability approaches: the global eigenvalue analysis and the direct-adjoint optimization. In these global instability analysis no spatial structure is assumed a-priori for the perturbation, and the convective effects due to the high non-parallelism of the flow are taken into account. In the case of the separated boundary-layer flows, it has been clarified the role of the following features in the onset of unsteadiness: i) the strong two-dimensional convective amplification; ii) the non-normality effects such as the 'flapping' phenomenon; iii) the high sensitivity to external forcing; iv) the globally unstable three-dimensional mode. Concerning the attached boundary layer, the aim has been to identify localized perturbations characterized by more than one frequency in the streamwise and/or spanwise direction, inducing a strong energy amplification. In order to assess the effects of non-linearity on the instability mechanisms identified by the global linear stability analysis, direct numerical simulations have been performed in a two- and three-dimensional framework for both the attached and separated boundary-layer flows. The dynamics of the perturbations which most easily brings the flows on the verge of turbulence have been studied. Different scenarios of transition have been observed, and the mechanisms leading the flow to turbulence have been analyzed in detail.

  • Publisher : Princeton University Press
  • Release : 2005-08-07
  • ISBN : 9780691119465
  • Pages : 634 pages

Download or read book Spectra and Pseudospectra written by Lloyd N. Trefethen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2005-08-07 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pure and applied mathematicians, physicists, scientists, and engineers use matrices and operators and their eigenvalues in quantum mechanics, fluid mechanics, structural analysis, acoustics, ecology, numerical analysis, and many other areas. However, in some applications the usual analysis based on eigenvalues fails. For example, eigenvalues are often ineffective for analyzing dynamical systems such as fluid flow, Markov chains, ecological models, and matrix iterations. That's where this book comes in. This is the authoritative work on nonnormal matrices and operators, written by the authorities who made them famous. Each of the sixty sections is written as a self-contained essay. Each document is a lavishly illustrated introductory survey of its topic, complete with beautiful numerical experiments and all the right references. The breadth of included topics and the numerous applications that provide links between fields will make this an essential reference in mathematics and related sciences.

Book Whither Turbulence and Big Data in the 21st Century

Download or read book Whither Turbulence and Big Data in the 21st Century written by Andrew Pollard and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a snapshot of the current and future trends in turbulence research across a range of disciplines. It provides an overview of the key challenges that face scientific and engineering communities in the context of huge databases of turbulence information currently being generated, yet poorly mined. These challenges include coherent structures and their control, wall turbulence and control, multi-scale turbulence, the impact of turbulence on energy generation and turbulence data manipulation strategies. The motivation for this volume is to assist the reader to make physical sense of these data deluges so as to inform both the research community as well as to advance practical outcomes from what is learned. Outcomes presented in this collection provide industry with information that impacts their activities, such as minimizing impact of wind farms, opportunities for understanding large scale wind events and large eddy simulation of the hydrodynamics of bays and lakes thereby increasing energy efficiencies, and minimizing emissions and noise from jet engines. Elucidates established, contemporary, and novel aspects of fluid turbulence - a ubiquitous yet poorly understood phenomena; Explores computer simulation of turbulence in the context of the emerging, unprecedented profusion of experimental data,which will need to be stewarded and archived; Examines a compendium of problems and issues that investigators can use to help formulate new promising research ideas; Makes the case for why funding agencies and scientists around the world need to lead a global effort to establish and steward large stores of turbulence data, rather than leaving them to individual researchers.

Book Instabilities  Chaos and Turbulence

Download or read book Instabilities Chaos and Turbulence written by Paul Manneville and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2010 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book (2nd edition) is a self-contained introduction to a wide body of knowledge on nonlinear dynamics and chaos. Manneville emphasises the understanding of basic concepts and the nontrivial character of nonlinear response, contrasting it with the intuitively simple linear response. He explains the theoretical framework using pedagogical examples from fluid dynamics, though prior knowledge of this field is not required. Heuristic arguments and worked examples replace most esoteric technicalities. Only basic understanding of mathematics and physics is required, at the level of what is currently known after one or two years of undergraduate training: elementary calculus, basic notions of linear algebra and ordinary differential calculus, and a few fundamental physical equations (specific complements are provided when necessary). Methods presented are of fully general use, which opens up ample windows on topics of contemporary interest. These include complex dynamical processes such as patterning, chaos control, mixing, and even the Earth's climate. Numerical simulations are proposed as a means to obtain deeper understanding of the intricacies induced by nonlinearities in our everyday environment, with hints on adapted modelling strategies and their implementation.

Book Sound Flow Interactions
