Heat-transfer analysis of a transitional boundary layer over a concave surface with Görtler vortices by means of direct numerical simulations

M Méndez, MS Shadloo, A Hadjadj - Physics of Fluids, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
This work studies the development of a thermal boundary layer during the laminar-to-
turbulent transition process over a concave surface. Direct numerical simulations are …

On the odd and even secondary instabilities of Görtler vortices

LF Souza - Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics, 2017 - Springer
Boundary layer flows over concave wall can be unstable to disturbances giving rise to
streamwise counter-rotating vortices known as Görtler vortices. These vortices in its …

Görtler instability on a turbine blade

LF Marques, JK Rogenski, LF Souza - International Journal of Thermal …, 2021 - Elsevier
Görtler instability studies are conducted considering a more realistic geometry represented
by the pressure side of a turbine blade. The creation and maintenance of Görtler vortices are …

Nonlinear hydrodynamic and thermodynamic aspects of unsteady Görtler flows

AS Takata, JK Rogenski, LF de Souza - International Journal of Thermal …, 2023 - Elsevier
Both steady and unsteady Görtler vortices may lead to an incompressible boundary layer
flow to transition from laminar to turbulent flow. Görtler structures can modify hydrodynamic …

Effects of streamwise wall curvature variation on the nonlinear evolution of different Görtler vortices wavelengths

LF Marques, JK Rogenski, LF de Souza - Journal of the Brazilian Society …, 2020 - Springer
In this paper, a high-order, pseudo-spectral numerical code (HOPe) is used to investigate
the influence of curvature variations on the nonlinear evolution of different Görtler vortices …

[PDF][PDF] Numerical study of the heat transfer rate for unsteady Görtler vortices

AS Takata, LF Souza - 2019 - repositorio.usp.br
The streamwise-oriented counter-rotating vortices also known as Görtler vortices occur due
to the imbalance between centrifugal and inertial forces in boundary layer flows over …
