Understanding the nature of complex turbulent flows remains one of the most challenging
problems in classical physics. Significant progress has been made recently using high …

Transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow is of great practical interest as it occurs in many
engineering flows and often plays a critical role in aerodynamics and heat transfer …

A sensitivity analysis of highly-resolved large-eddy simulations of the flow around a 5: 1
rectangular cylinder to the introduction of a small rounding of the upstream edges is …

In this short note, we show how to use a highly accurate finite-difference scheme to compute
second derivatives in the Navier–Stokes equations while ensuring targeted numerical …

We present results from direct numerical simulations (DNS) of incompressible flow over two
airfoils, NACA-4412 and NACA-0012-64, to investigate the effects of the airfoil geometry on …

We present results of direct numerical simulations of a synthetic jet (SJ) based separation
control of flow past a NACA-0018 (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) airfoil, at 10 …

In this work, a microjet arrangement to control a turbulent jet is studied by means of direct
numerical simulation. A customised numerical strategy was developed to investigate the …

Spectral discretization of quantities exhibiting abrupt shifts results in oscillations, or “ringing”,
known as the Gibbs phenomenon. When spectral discretization is used to evaluate spatial …

We experimentally investigate the high-Reynolds flow around a rectangular cylinder of
aspect ratio 5: 1. This configuration is the object of the international BARC benchmark. Wind …

We present a DNS study of a hot, low momentum laminar water jet discharged into a cold
turbulent channel stream through a circular orifice in one of the steel channel walls. The …
