Book Transition to Turbulence

Download or read book Transition to Turbulence written by Tapan K. Sengupta and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Present understanding of transition to turbulence has now been studied over one hundred and fifty years. The path the studies have taken posed it as a modal eigenvalue problem. Some researchers have suggested alternative models without being specific. First-principle based approach of receptivity is the route to build bridges among ideas for solving the Navier-Stokes equation for specific canonical problems. This book highlights the mathematical physics, scientific computing, and new ideas and theories for nonlinear analyses of fluid flows, for which vorticity dynamics remain central. This book is a blend of classic with distinctly new ideas, which establish different dynamics of flows, from genesis to evolution of disturbance fields with rigorously developed methods to tracing coherent structures amidst the seemingly random and chaotic fluid dynamics of transitional and turbulent flows"--

Book Seventh IUTAM Symposium on Laminar Turbulent Transition

Download or read book Seventh IUTAM Symposium on Laminar Turbulent Transition written by Philipp Schlatter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-11 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origins of turbulent ?ow and the transition from laminar to turbulent ?ow are the most important unsolved problems of ?uid mechanics and aerodynamics. - sides being a fundamental question of ?uid mechanics, there are numerous app- cations relying on information regarding transition location and the details of the subsequent turbulent ?ow. For example, the control of transition to turbulence is - pecially important in (1) skin-friction reduction of energy ef?cient aircraft, (2) the performance of heat exchangers and diffusers, (3) propulsion requirements for - personic aircraft, and (4) separation control. While considerable progress has been made in the science of laminar to turbulent transition over the last 30 years, the c- tinuing increase in computer power as well as new theoretical developments are now revolutionizing the area. It is now starting to be possible to move from simple 1D eigenvalue problems in canonical ?ows to global modes in complex ?ows, all - companied by accurate large-scale direct numerical simulations (DNS). Here, novel experimental techniques such as modern particle image velocimetry (PIV) also have an important role. Theoretically the in?uence of non-normality on the stability and transition is gaining importance, in particular for complex ?ows. At the same time the enigma of transition in the oldest ?ow investigated, Reynolds pipe ?ow tran- tion experiment, is regaining attention. Ideas from dynamical systems together with DNS and experiments are here giving us new insights.

Book Direct Numerical Simulation of Transition to Turbulence and Turbulence Control in Pipe Flow

Download or read book Direct Numerical Simulation of Transition to Turbulence and Turbulence Control in Pipe Flow written by Baofang Song and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of this thesis is the transition to turbulence and turbulence control in pipe flow. In pipes turbulence arises despite the linear stability of the laminar flow (subcritical transition) and directly from onset the flow is spatio-temporally complex. Given sufficiently strong perturbations, turbulence appears in localized patches (puffs) at low Reynolds numbers. At high Reynolds number, patches aggressively grow (slugs) and eventually render the flow fully turbulent. The questions of when and how turbulence starts to grow have long challenged scientists and will be discussed in-dep ...

Book The Origin of Turbulence in Near Wall Flows

Download or read book The Origin of Turbulence in Near Wall Flows written by A.V. Boiko and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Origin of Species Charles Darwin The origin of turbulence in fluids is a long-standing problem and has been the focus of research for decades due to its great importance in a variety of engineering applications. Furthermore, the study of the origin of turbulence is part of the fundamental physical problem of turbulence description and the philosophical problem of determinism and chaos. At the end of the nineteenth century, Reynolds and Rayleigh conjectured that the reason of the transition of laminar flow to the 'sinuous' state is in stability which results in amplification of wavy disturbances and breakdown of the laminar regime. Heisenberg (1924) was the founder of linear hydrody namic stability theory. The first calculations of boundary layer stability were fulfilled in pioneer works of Tollmien (1929) and Schlichting (1932, 1933). Later Taylor (1936) hypothesized that the transition to turbulence is initi ated by free-stream oscillations inducing local separations near wall. Up to the 1940s, skepticism of the stability theory predominated, in particular due to the experimental results of Dryden (1934, 1936). Only the experiments of Schubauer and Skramstad (1948) revealed the determining role of insta bility waves in the transition. Now it is well established that the transition to turbulence in shear flows at small and moderate levels of environmental disturbances occurs through development of instability waves in the initial laminar flow. In Chapter 1 we start with the fundamentals of stability theory, employing results of the early studies and recent advances.

Book Optimal and Robust Control Transition and Turbulence in Plane Channel Flow

Download or read book Optimal and Robust Control Transition and Turbulence in Plane Channel Flow written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efficient feedback control algorithms based on optimal and robust control theories have been formulated and tested in direct numerical simulations of turbulent channel flow. The optimization technique used is based solely on the equations governing the fluid flow and variations of a mathematical statement of the control objective, with out the heuristic procedures normally used to determine effective flow control algorithms. The control algorithms tested are shown to be extremely effective, and a host of new ideas for the determination of simple, implementable, effective control rules for turbulent flows have been proposed and are currently still under investigation. The problem of transition control via optimal and robust techniques has also been studied to draw parallels between the linear and nonlinear theories on problems of significant interest in fluid mechanics. Results on this problem have also been quite good and clearly demonstrate how the control theories are related. With this insight, an important extension of the concepts of robust control theory to nonlinear problems has been made.

Book Principles of Turbulence Control

Download or read book Principles of Turbulence Control written by Baochun Fan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the mathematical techniques for turbulence control in a form suitable for inclusion in an engineering degree program at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels whilst also making it useful to researchers and industrial users of the concepts. It uses a mix of theory, computation and experimental results to present and illustrate the methodologies. It is based on the three part structure, wall turbulence, open loop control and feedback control with emphasis on optimal control methodologies. The book also includes an introduction of basic principles and fundamentals followed by a chapter on the structure of wall turbulence with emphasis on coherent structures. Elsewhere there is focus on control methods of wall turbulence by manipulating the boundaries though their motion and by applying control forces throughout the flow volume. The last two chapters will describe the linear and non-linear optimal controls. This integrated approach will help not only researchers interested in the topic but also graduate or advanced undergraduate students in their course work.

Book Stability and Suppression of Turbulence in Relaxing Molecular Gas Flows

Download or read book Stability and Suppression of Turbulence in Relaxing Molecular Gas Flows written by Yurii N. Grigoryev and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-08 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an in-depth systematic investigation of a dissipative effect which manifests itself as the growth of hydrodynamic stability and suppression of turbulence in relaxing molecular gas flows. The work describes the theoretical foundations of a new way to control stability and laminar turbulent transitions in aerodynamic flows. It develops hydrodynamic models for describing thermal nonequilibrium gas flows which allow the consideration of suppression of inviscid acoustic waves in 2D shear flows. Then, nonlinear evolution of large-scale vortices and Kelvin-Helmholtz waves in relaxing shear flows are studied. Critical Reynolds numbers in supersonic Couette flows are calculated analytically and numerically within the framework of both linear and nonlinear classical energy hydrodynamic stability theories. The calculations clearly show that the relaxation process can appreciably delay the laminar-turbulent transition. The aim of the book is to show the new dissipative effect, which can be used for flow control and laminarization. This volume will be of interest and useful to mechanical engineers, physicists, and mathematicians who specialize in hydrodynamic stability theory, turbulence, and laminarization of flows.
