Latent Representation of Computational Fluid Dynamics Meshes and Application to Airfoil Aerodynamics

Pascal Fua, Benoît Alain René Guillard, Zhen Wei

Mesh manipulation is central to computational fluid dynamics. However, creating appropriate computational meshes often involves substantial manual intervention that has to be repeated each time the target shape changes. To address this problem, we propose ...

Growth, timing, & trajectory of vortices behind a rotating plate

Diego Francescangeli

The presence of aerodynamic vortices is widespread in nature. They can be found at small scales near the wing tip of flying insects or at bigger scale in the form of hurricanes, cyclones or even galaxies. They are identified as coherent regions of high vor ...

Evolution of the vorticity distribution in vortex rings

Guillaume de Guyon-Crozier

Vortex rings are very efficient at transporting fluid on long distances and can generate large forces, either thrust or drag. These abilities are influenced by the vorticity distribution within the vortex. Previous work on vortices produced by piston-cylin ...

Emergence of representative signals for sudden stratospheric warmings beyond current predictable lead times

Guillaume Romain Obozinski, Raphaël Gérard Théodore Michel Marie de Deloÿe et Fourcade de Fondeville

Major sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are extreme wintertime circulation events of the Arctic stratosphere that are accompanied by a breakdown of the polar vortex and are considered an important source of predictability of tropospheric weather on subs ...

A point vortex transportation model for yawed wind turbine wakes

Fernando Porté Agel, Haohua Zong

In this study, stereo particle imaging velocimetry measurements are performed at multiple streamwise locations behind a yawed wind turbine to reveal the formation mechanisms of the counter-rotating vortex pair (CVP), and a point vortex transportation (PVT) ...

Breaking of Internal Waves and Turbulent Dissipation in an Anticyclonic Mode Water Eddy

Bieito Fernandez Castro

A four-month glider mission was analyzed to assess turbulent dissipation in an anticyclonic eddy at the western boundary of the subtropical North Atlantic. The eddy (radius ≈ 60 km) had a core of low potential vorticity between 100–450 m, with maximum radi ...

LES investigation of the influence of cavitation on flow patterns in a confined tip-leakage flow

Mohamed Farhat, Huaiyu Cheng

In the present paper, Large Eddy Simulations combined with the Zwart-Gerber-Belamri cavitation model are conducted to study the flow characteristics in a tip-leakage flow. A reasonable agreement is obtained between the numerical and experimental data. With ...

Release of suspension particles from a prismatic tank by multiple jet arrangements

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Jolanda Maria Isabella Jenzer Althaus

The performance of circular and linear jet arrangements on the release of suspended sediment out of a prismatic tank has been investigated. Experiments conducted are (1) without any forced jet stirring (reference case), (2) four jets arranged in a horizont ...

The inviscid, compressible and rotational, 2D isotropic Burgers and pressureless Euler-Coriolis fluids: Solvable models with illustrations

Philippe Choquard

The coupling between dilatation and vorticity, two coexisting and fundamental processes in fluid dynamics (Wu et al., 2006, pp. 3, 6) is investigated here, in the simplest cases of inviscid 2D isotropic Burgers and pressureless Euler Coriolis fluids respec ...

Large Wind Farms and the Scalar Flux over an Heterogeneously Rough Land Surface

Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Marc Calaf Bracons

The influence of surface heterogeneities extends vertically within the atmospheric surface layer to the so-called blending height, causing changes in the fluxes of momentum and scalars. Inside this region the turbulence structure cannot be treated as horiz ...

On the coupling between an ideal fluid and immersed particles

Tudor Ratiu, Mathieu Desbrun

In this paper, we present finite-dimensional particle-based models for fluids which respect a number of geometric properties of the Euler equations of motion. Specifically, we use Lagrange-Poincare reduction to understand the coupling between a fluid and a ...

Euler-Poincare Formulation Of Hybrid Plasma Models

Cesare Tronci

Three different hybrid Vlasov-fluid systems are derived by applying reduction by symmetry to Hamilton's variational principle. In particular, the discussion focuses on the Euler-Poincare formulation of three major hybrid MHD models, which are compared in t ...

Brownian motion in a Maxwell fluid

Sylvia Jeney, Matthias Grimm

The equilibrium dynamics of a spherical particle immersed in a complex Maxwell fluid is analyzed in terms of velocity autocorrelation function (VACF), mean-square displacement (MSD), and power spectral density (PSD). We elucidate the role of hydrodynamic m ...

Hamiltonian approach to hybrid plasma models

Cesare Tronci

The Hamiltonian structures of several hybrid kinetic-fluid models are identified explicitly, upon considering collisionless Vlasov dynamics for the hot particles interacting with a bulk fluid. After presenting different pressure-coupling schemes for an ord ...

Effect of Flow Diverter Porosity on Intra-aneurysmal Blood Flow

Mohamed Farhat

Background and Purpose: Growth and rupture, the two events that dominate the evolution of an intracranial aneurysm, are both dependent on intraaneurysmal flow. Decrease of intraaneurysmal flow is considered an attractive alternative for treating intracrani ...
