Analysis of coherence in turbulent stratified wakes using spectral proper orthogonal decomposition

S Nidhan, OT Schmidt, S Sarkar - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
We use spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD) to extract and analyse coherent
structures in the turbulent wake of a disk at Reynolds number. Overall, we find that the …

Characteristics of the surface signatures induced by a sphere in a linearly stratified flow

J Sun, Z Wang, J Chai, Z Wang, Z Yang - Ocean Engineering, 2023 - Elsevier
Internal waves generated by a moving body submerged in a stratified fluid typically yield
modest surface signatures. Large-eddy simulation (LES) is employed to capture the surface …
