Self-consistent model for the saturation mechanism of the response to harmonic forcing in the backward-facing step flow

François Gallaire, Vladislav Mantic Lugo

Certain flows denominated as amplifiers arc characterized by their global linear stability while showing large linear amplifications to sustained perturbations. As the forcing amplitude increases, a strong saturation of the response appears when compared t ...

Saturation of the response to stochastic forcing in two-dimensional backward-facing step flow: A self-consistent approximation

François Gallaire, Vladislav Mantic Lugo

Selective noise amplifiers are characterized by large linear amplification to external perturbations in a particular frequency range despite their global linear stability. Applying a stochastic forcing with increasing amplitude, the response undergoes a st ...

Pushing amplitude equations far from threshold: application to the supercritical Hopf bifurcation in the cylinder wake

François Gallaire, Philippe Meliga, Edouard Boujo, Vladislav Mantic Lugo, Cristobal Manuel Arratia Martinez

The purpose of this review article is to push amplitude equations as far as possible from threshold. We focus on the Stuart-Landau amplitude equation describing the supercritical Hopf bifurcation of the flow in the wake of a cylinder for critical Reynolds ...

Beer tapping: dynamics of bubbles after impact

François Gallaire, Vladislav Mantic Lugo, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun

Beer tapping is a well known prank where a bottle of beer is impacted from the top by a solid object, usually another bottle, leading to a sudden foam overflow. A description of the shock-driven bubble dynamics leading to foaming is presented based on an e ...

A self-consistent model for the saturation dynamics of the vortex shedding around the mean flow in the unstable cylinder wake

François Gallaire, Vladislav Mantic Lugo, Cristobal Manuel Arratia Martinez

The supercritical instability leading to the Benard-von Karman vortex street in a cylinder wake is a well known example of supercritical Hopf bifurcation: the steady solution becomes linearly unstable and saturates into a periodic limit cycle. Nonetheless, ...

Too big to grow : self-consistent model for nonlinear saturation in open shear flows

Vladislav Mantic Lugo

Open flows, such as wakes, jets, separation bubbles, mixing layers, boundary layers, etc., develop in domains where fluid particles are continuously advected downstream. They are encountered in a wide variety of situations, ranging from nature to technolog ...
