Effect of shear-layer thickness on the Strouhal–Reynolds number relationship for bluff-body wakes
In a previous paper, we provided a rationale for the empirically observed St–Re number relationship for vortex shedding in bluff-body wakes. This rationale derives from a mechanism of vortex formation observed in numerical simulations coupled with an estimate of the terms in the vorticity transport equation based on this mechanism. Adopting the typical size of the body D as the characteristic l...
متن کاملLinear feedback control of bluff body wakes
In this project, linear feedback control is used to modify the dynamics of fluid flows. We focus on two system identification and controller design strategies that target separated wakes behind bluff bodies. In particular, we aim to reduce the form drag and suppress the large fluctuations that typically develop in such wakes and are detrimental to efficiency and safety in a large number of indu...
متن کاملOn three-dimensional quasiperiodic Floquet instabilities of two-dimensional bluff body wakes
Previous studies dealing with Floquet secondary stability analysis of the wakes of circular and square cross-section cylinders have shown that there are two synchronous instability modes, with long ~mode A! and short ~mode B! spanwise wavelengths. At intermediate wavelengths another mode arises, which reaches criticality at Reynolds numbers higher than modes A or B. Here we concentrate on these...
متن کاملReynolds number effects in stratified turbulent wakes
We report large-eddy simulations of the turbulent wake of a towed-sphere of diameter D at speed U in a linearly stratified Boussinesq fluid with buoyancy frequency N . These simulations are performed using a spectral-multidomain-penalty-method-based incompressible Navier-Stokes solver for Re ≡ UD/ν ∈ {5 × 10, 10, 4 × 10} and Fr ≡ 2U/(ND) ∈ {4, 16, 64}. Increasingly richer turbulent fine structu...
متن کاملVirtual Origin of Incompressible and Supersonic Turbulent Bluff-Body Wakes
TECHNICAL NOTES are short manuscripts describing new developments or important results of a preliminary nature. These Notes cannot exceed six manuscript pages and three figures; a page of text may be substituted for a figure and vice versa. After informal review by the editors, they may be published within a few months of the date of receipt. Style requirements are the same as for regular contr...
