Dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) describes complex dynamic processes through a
hierarchy of simpler coherent features. DMD is regularly used to understand the …

The possibility of imploding small capsules to produce mini-fusion explosions was explored
soon after the first thermonuclear explosions in the early 1950s. Various technologies have …

This volume presents applications of the Pi-Theorem to fluid mechanics and heat and mass
transfer. The Pi-theorem yields a physical motivation behind many flow processes and …

The mean-flow and turbulence properties of a plane wall jet, developing in a stagnant
environment, are studied by means of large eddy simulation. The Reynolds number, based …

The generation of tones in a supersonic planar jet impinging on a flat plate normally has
been investigated by performing compressible large-eddy simulations using low-dissipation …

A direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a plane wall jet is performed at a Reynolds number
of. The streamwise length of the domain is long enough to achieve self-similarity for the …

We discuss two aspects of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) on the basis of high-
resolution direct numerical simulations in a unique setting: a closed cylindrical cell of aspect …

The dual-jet flow generated by a plane wall jet and a parallel offset jet at an offset ratio of
d/w= 1.0 has been investigated using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The particle images …

A little more than decade ago, the basic characteristics of turbulent boundary layers on flat
surfaces were widely believed to be well understood. The logarithmic velocity profile was …

Impinging jets are widely used in cooling applications. Here, particle image velocimetry
measurements were performed to study the flow field (focusing on the wall jet) and vortex …
