Vortex interactions with flames play a key role in many practical combustion applications.
Such interactions drive a large class of combustion instabilities, they control to a great extent …

In this paper, we present direct comparisons of experimental results on transition in wall-
bounded flows obtained by flow visualizations, hot-film measurement, and particle-image …

The formation of vortex rings generated through impulsively started jets is studied
experimentally. Utilizing a piston/cylinder arrangement in a water tank, the velocity and …

The basic problems of transition in both incompressible and compressible boundary layers
are reviewed. Flow structures in low-speed transitional and developed turbulent boundary …

Flow patterns generated by medusan swimmers such as jellyfish are known to differ
according the morphology of the various animal species. Oblate medusae have been …

The far-field sound generated by compressible co-rotating vortices is computed by direct
computation of the unsteady compressible Navier–Stokes equations on a computational …

Plasma synthetic jet actuators (PSJAs), capable of producing high-velocity pulsed jets at
high frequency, are well suited for high-Reynolds-number subsonic and supersonic flow …

The flow field around an asymmetric dielectric-barrier-discharge (DBD) plasma actuator in
quiescent air is studied using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and smoke-flow visualization …

Animal phyla that require macro-scale fluid transport for functioning have repeatedly and
often independently converged on the use of jet flows. During flow initiation these jets form …

The streamwise vortices generated by dielectric-barrier-discharge plasma actuators in the
laminar boundary layer were investigated using particle image velocimetry to understand …
