The flow around a stepped cylinder with turbulent wake and stable shear layer

D Massaro, A Peplinski, P Schlatter - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
The turbulent external flow around a three-dimensional stepped cylinder is studied by
means of direct numerical simulations with the adaptive mesh refinement technique. We …

Global stability of -bend pipe flow with mesh adaptivity

D Massaro, V Lupi, A Peplinski, P Schlatter - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
The global stability of the flow in a spatially developing 180∘-bend pipe with curvature δ=
R/R c= 1/3 is investigated by performing direct numerical simulations to understand the …

Global stability of the flow past a stepped cylinder

D Massaro, P Schlatter - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
We investigate the global instability mechanism of the flow past a three-dimensional stepped
cylinder. A comprehensive study is performed for different diameter ratios of the two joined …
