Transient Vortex Bursts Behind Magnetic Obstacles
The present paper reports on numerical investigations of vortical structures in transient flow regimes generated by the local action of the Lorentz force on an electrically conductive fluid. The locally imposed non-uniform magnetic field generates similar effects as observed for flows over submerged solid obstacles. It is demonstrated that complex flow patterns can be generated by imposing magn...
متن کاملTurbulent flow regimes behind a coastal cape in a stratified and rotating environment
A numerical study aimed at investigating the roles of both the stratification and topographic slope in generation of turbulent coherent structures in the lee of capes is presented. We consider a steady barotropic current impinging on an obstacle in a rotating and linearly stratified environment. The obstacle is a triangular prism and represents an idealized headland extending from the coast. Nu...
متن کاملTurbulent Bursts in Couette-Taylor Flow.
We present a physical explanation of turbulent bursts in the flow between concentric, rotating cylinders (Couette-Taylor flow), based on fully resolved direct numerical calculations. The bursts are a temporal oscillation between a spatially laminar flow and turbulence, discovered experimentally by Hamill et al. The onset of turbulence is shown to be due to a linear instability of the spiral flo...
متن کاملManipulating Flow Structures in Turbulent Pipe Flow
Two different tools, the non-empirical resolvent analysis and the data-based dynamic mode decomposition, are employed to assess the changes induced by transpiration in the dynamics of a turbulent pipe flow. The focus is on very large-scale motions. Both analyses permit the observation of streamwise waviness in the large flow structures and how the transpiration can inhibit fluctuation in locali...
متن کاملMixing in vortical, chaotic and turbulent flows.
Mixing is discussed in relation to stirring as reflected in the geometry of advected interfaces, the behaviour of fluid-element pairs and their separation rates. Stirring is different in vortical, chaotic and turbulent flows because of qualitative differences in spatio-temporal flow structure, thus giving rise to different mixing laws. Important applications of the mixing and stirring propertie...
