Nonexistence of Coherent Structures in Two-Dimensional Inviscid Channel Flow
Two-dimensional inviscid channel flow of an incompressible fluid is considered. It is shown that if the flow is steady and features no horizontal stagnation, then the flow must necessarily be a parallel shear flow.
متن کاملGPU-Based Two-Dimensional Flow Simulation Steering using Coherent Structures
We present an exemplary steering system that performs 2D flow simulation and visualization on graphics processing units (GPUs). The topology of a vector field provides the overall structure and therefore lends itself for steering purposes. We build on the concept of Lagrangian coherent structures present as ridges in the finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE). This allows to perform steering with...
متن کاملNumerical modelling of flow structures over transverse aeolian dunes
Numerical flow models have been widely applied in engineering disciplines for many years. In the last few years, there has been a proliferation of the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in the fields of geomorphology and hydrology (see Bates and Lane, 1998). These models enable an improved simulation of important processes providing prediction fields that allow considerable insight into ...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional airflow modeling underpredicts the wind velocity over dunes
We investigate the average turbulent wind field over a barchan dune by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics. We find that the fractional speed-up ratio of the wind velocity over the three-dimensional barchan shape differs from the one obtained from two-dimensional calculations of the airflow over the longitudinal cut along the dune's symmetry axis - that is, over the equivalent transverse dune...
متن کاملCoherent structures in flow over hydraulic engineering surfaces
Wall-bounded turbulence manifests itself in a broad range of applications, not least in hydraulic systems. Here, we briefly review the significant advances over the past few decades in the fundamental study of wall turbulence over smooth and rough surfaces, with an emphasis on coherent structures and their role at high Reynolds numbers. We attempt to relate these findings to parallel efforts in...
