Optical Rogue Waves in Vortex Turbulence.
We present a spatiotemporal mechanism for producing 2D optical rogue waves in the presence of a turbulent state with creation, interaction, and annihilation of optical vortices. Spatially periodic structures with bound phase lose stability to phase unbound turbulent states in complex Ginzburg-Landau and Swift-Hohenberg models with external driving. When the pumping is high and the external driv...
متن کاملThe evolution of co-rotating vortices in a canonical boundary layer with inclined jets
The evolution of co-rotating streamwise vortices in a canonical flat plate turbulent boundary layer ~thickness of the boundary layer d0.99525 mm) is studied. The vortices are produced by an array of inclined jets ~diameter D514 mm) with the same orientation ~skew angle b and pitch angle a of 45°!. The focus of the investigation is on the immediate vicinity of the jet exit and downstream locatio...
متن کاملDynamics of hairpin vortices and polymer-induced turbulent drag reduction.
It has been known for over six decades that the dissolution of minute amounts of high molecular weight polymers in wall-bounded turbulent flows results in a dramatic reduction in turbulent skin friction by up to 70%. First principles simulations of turbulent flow of model polymer solutions can predict the drag reduction (DR) phenomenon. However, the essential dynamical interactions between the ...
متن کاملVortex statistics in turbulent rotating convection.
The vortices emerging in rotating turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection in water at Rayleigh number Ra=6.0×10{8} are investigated using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry and by direct numerical simulation. The so-called Q criterion is used to detect the vortices from velocity fields. This criterion allows distinguishing vorticity- and strain-dominated regions in the flow by decomposing the...
متن کاملDirect numerical simulations of roughness-induced transition in supersonic boundary layers
Direct numerical simulations are used to study the laminar to turbulent transition of a Mach 2.9 supersonic flat plate boundary layer flow due to distributed surface roughness. Roughness causes the near-wall fluid to slow down and generates a strong shear layer over the roughness elements. Examination of the mean wall pressure indicates that the roughness surface exerts an upward impulse on the...
