An open channel flow can change from a supercritical to subcritical flow with a strong dissipative process: a hydraulic jump. Herein some new measurements of free-surface fluctuations next to the jump toe and integral turbulent scales in the roller are presented with a focus on turbulent hydraulic jumps with a marked roller. The results highlighted the fluctuating nature of the impingement peri...

In this paper, the non-reacting flow in a swirl burner is studied using large eddy simulation. The configuration consists of two unconfined coannular jets at a Reynolds number of 81,500. The flow is characterized by a Swirl number of 0.93. Two cases are studied in the paper differing with respect to the axial location of the inner pilot jet. It was observed in a companion experiment (Bender and...

Coherent flame oscillations generated by large-scale flow instabilities have been shown to significantly influence combustor performance and thermoacoustic instability. This study examines the of turbulence intensity on dynamics rod-stabilized flames. Instability in field a bluff-body stabilized flame, which is function mean shear field, incoming flow, location with respect layer, manifests as ...

We present a summary of recent progress on the development and application of adaptive mesh refinement algorithms for low Mach number reacting flows. Our approach uses a form of the low Mach number equations based on a general equation of state that discretely conserves both mass and energy. The discretization methodology is based on a robust projection formulation that accommodates large densi...

Downward turbulent bubbly flows in pipes were modeled using computational fluid dynamics tools. The Hydrodynamics, phase distribution and turbulent structure of twophase air-water flow in a 57.15 mm diameter and 3.06 m length vertical pipe was modeled by using the 3-D Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase flow approach. Void fraction, liquid velocity and turbulent fluctuations profiles were calculated a...

We periodically modulate a turbulent wind-tunnel flow with an active grid. We find a resonant enhancement of the mean turbulent dissipation rate at a modulation frequency which equals the large-eddy turnover rate. Thus, we find the best frequency to inject energy into a turbulent flow. The resonant response is characterized by the emergence of vortical structures in the flow and depends on the ...

In this study, turbulent flow around a tube bundle in non-orthogonal grid is simulated using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technique and parallelization of fully coupled Navier – Stokes (NS) equations. To model the small eddies, the Smagorinsky and a mixed model was used. This model represents the effect of dissipation and the grid-scale and subgrid-scale interactions. The fully coupled NS eq...
