On the generation and maintenance of waves and turbulence in simulations of free-surface turbulence

One of the challenges in numerical simulation of wave–turbulence interaction is the precise setup and maintenance of wave and turbulence fields. In this paper, we investigate techniques for the generation and suppression of specific surface wave modes, the generation of turbulence in an inhomogeneous physical domain with a wavy boundary-fitted grid, and the generation and maintenance of waves a...

Upscale energy transfer and flow topology in free-surface turbulence.

Free-surface turbulence, albeit constrained onto a two-dimensional space, exhibits features that barely resemble predictions of simplified two-dimensional modeling. We demonstrate that, in a three-dimensional open channel flow, surface turbulence is characterized by upscale energy transfer, which controls the long-term evolution of the larger scales. We are able to associate downscale and upsca...

Interactions between Free-surface, Free-stream Turbulence and Cavity Recirculation in Open Channel Flows: Measurements and Turbulence Manipulation

New experiments were conducted in a large stepped channel with a 22o slope operating at large Reynolds numbers. Interactions between free-surface and cavity recirculation were systematically investigated in the skimming flow regime. Turbulence manipulation was further conducted and identical experiments were performed with 4 configurations. Basic results demonstrated a strong influence of cavit...
