Model flocks in a steady vortical flow.
We modify the standard Vicsek model to clearly distinguish between intrinsic noise due to imperfect alignment between organisms and extrinsic noise due to fluid motion. We then consider the effect of a steady vortical flow, the Taylor-Green vortex, on the dynamics of the flock, for various flow speeds, with a fixed intrinsic particle speed. We pay particular attention to the morphology of the f...
متن کاملGyrotaxis in a steady vortical flow.
We show that gyrotactic motility within a steady vortical flow leads to tightly clustered aggregations of microorganisms. Two dimensionless numbers, characterizing the relative swimming speed and stability against overturning by vorticity, govern the coupling between motility and flow. Exploration of parameter space reveals a striking array of patchiness regimes. Aggregations are found to form ...
متن کاملInfluence of turbulence closure models on the vortical flow field around a submarine body undergoing steady drift
Manoeuvring underwater vehicles experience complex three dimensional flow. Features include stagnation and boundary layer separation along a convex surface. The resulting free vortex sheet rolls up to form a pair of streamwise body vortices. The track and strength of the body vortex pair results in a nonlinear increase in lift with as body incidence increases. Consequently, accurate capture of ...
متن کاملFlow Around Flapping Flexible Flat Plate Wings
This study investigates the unsteady flow phenomena generated from plunging wings with varying flexibility. The experiments were conducted in a wind tunnel with forward flight conditions at a chord based Reynolds number of 5300. The wings are fabricated out of homogeneous isotropic materials with values of 55 and 1702. The conditions of these experiments are matched to previous studies in a wat...
متن کاملA Finite Element Model for Simulating Flow around a Well with Helically Symmetric Perforations
In a perforated well, fluids enter the wellbore through array of perforation tunnels. These perforations are typically distributed in a helical pattern around the wellbore. Available numerical models to simulate production flow into cased-and-perforated vertical wells have complicated boundary conditions or suffer from high computational costs. This paper presents a simple and at the same time ...
