Nonlinear aspects of high Reynolds number channel flows
This paper considers the flow in a two-dimensional channel at high Reynolds number, with wall deformationswhich can lead to flow separation. An asymptoticmodel is proposed by using the successive complementary expansion method with generalized asymptotic expansions. In particular, the model emphasizes the asymmetry of the channel geometry by introducing a change of variables. It is shown that t...
متن کاملSimulation of High Reynolds Number Vascular Flows
While much of the hemodynamics in a healthy human body has low Reynolds number, resulting in laminar flow, relatively high Reynolds number flow is observed at some specific locations, which can cause transition to turbulence. (The term “turbulence” refers to the motion of a fluid having local velocities and pressures that fluctuate randomly.) For example, the peak Reynolds number in the human a...
متن کاملPrandtl and Rayleigh number dependence of the Reynolds number in turbulent thermal convection.
The Prandtl and Rayleigh number dependences of the Reynolds number in turbulent thermal convection following from the unifying theory by Grossmann and Lohse [J. Fluid Mech. 407, 27 (2000); Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 3316 (2001)] are presented and compared with various recent experimental findings. This dependence Re(Ra,Pr) is more complicated than a simple global power law. For Pr=5.5 and 10(8)<Ra<10...
متن کاملThe effect of vortex pairing and Prandtl number on mixing in moderate Reynolds number stratified flows
Mixing resulting from Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is studied by direct numerical simulations for an intermediate Reynolds number in stratified flows where vortex pairing occurs. We investigate how the interaction of several billows changes the mixing properties. Simulations in a long domain show that only considering the interaction of two billows overestimates the amount of mixing and mixing ...
متن کاملHeat-flux measurement in high-Prandtl-number turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
We report Nusselt number measurements from high Prandtl number turbulent thermal convection experiments. The experiments are conducted in four fluids with the Prandtl number Pr varying from 4 to 1350 and the Rayleigh number Ra from 2x10(7) to 3x10(10), all in a single convection cell of unity aspect ratio. We find that the measured Nusselt number decreased about 20% over the range of Pr spanned...
