Direct numerical simulation of turbulent flow over a compliant surface

Direct numerical simulation of turbulent channel flow over a compliant surface has been performed to evaluate the friction drag reduction effect. It is found that a slight drag reduction is observed over a compliant surface. This observation indicates that drag reduction is possible using a compliant surface that is deformed passively by wall pressure fluctuation. A small wall displacement and ...

Direct Numerical Simulation (dns) of Turbulent Flow over Wavy Surfaces

Abstract. The present study adresses the turbulent flow over a wavy surface by direct numerical simulation (DNS). Compared to classical channel flow the wavy surface structure adds a degree of complexity to the flow by inducing streamline curvature, flow separation and flow reattachment, thus leading to flow situations which are often present in relevant technical and geophysical applications. ...

Numerical simulation of pulsating turbulent channel flow

Direct and large-eddy simulations of the Navier–Stokes equations are used to study the pulsating flow in a channel. The cases examined span a wide range of frequencies of the driving pressure gradient, and encompass different physical behaviors, from the quasi-Stokes flow observed at high frequencies, to a quasisteady behavior at the lowest ones. The validity of the dynamic Smagorinsky model to...
