The kinematics of a gliding flat-plate with spanwise oscillation has been optimized to enhance the power efficiency by using Bayesian optimization method, in which the portfolio allocation framework consists of a Gaussian process probabilistic surrogate and a hybrid acquisition strategy. We tune three types of acquisition function in the optimization framework and assign three different balance parameters to each acquisition function. The design variables are set as the dimensionless oscillating amplitude and reduced frequency of the spanwise oscillation. The object function is to maximize the power factor to support a unit weight. The optimization results in a maximal power factor of 1.65 when the dimensionless oscillating amplitude and reduced frequency vary from 0 to 1. The features of the probabilistic response surface are also examined. There exists an optimal reduced frequency for the power efficiency at the oscillating amplitudes above 0.40. In addition, the higher power efficiency may be obtained by increasing the amplitude beyond 1.00.

This fluid dynamics video submitted to the Gallery of Fluid motion shows a turbulent boundary layer developing under a 5 metre-long flat plate towed through water. A stationary imaging system provides a unique view of the developing boundary layer as
it would form over the hull of a ship or fuselage of an aircraft. The towed plate permits visualisation of the zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layer as it develops from the trip to a high Reynolds number state ($Re_tau approx 3000$). An evolving large-scale coherent structure will appear almost stationary in this frame of reference. The visualisations provide an unique view of the evolution of fundamental processes in the boundary layer (such as interfacial bulging, entrainment, vortical motions, etc.). In the more traditional laboratory frame of reference, in which fluid passes over a stationary body, it is difficult to observe the full evolution and lifetime of turbulent coherent structures. An equivalent experiment in a wind/water-tunnel would require a camera and laser that moves with the flow, effectively `chasing eddies as they advect downstream.
Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow induced by planar corona discharge in the wall boundary layer region is investigated experimentally and via a multiphysics computational model. The EHD phenomena has many potential engineering applications, its optimiza
tion requires a mechanistic understanding of the ion and flow transport. The corona EHD actuator consisting of two electrodes located in the wall boundary layer creates an EHD driven wall jet. The applied voltage between the electrodes is varied and the resulting effects in the charge density and flow field are measured. Constant current hotwire anemometry is used to measure velocity profile. The airflow near the wall acts a jet and it reaches a maximum of 1.7 m/s with an energy conversion efficiency of ~2%. The velocity decreases sharply in the normal direction. Multiphysics numerical model couples ion transport equation and the Navier Stokes equations to solve for the spatiotemporal distribution of electric field, charge density and flow field. The numerical results match experimental data shedding new insights into mass, charge and momentum transport phenomena. The EHD driven flow can be applied to flow control strategies and design of novel particle collectors.
We present a model appropriate to the initial motion (2-3 chords of travel) of a flat-plate airfoil accelerating in an inviscid fluid. The separated flow structures are represented as vortex sheets in the conventional manner and similarity expansions
locally applicable to the leading and trailing edges of the plate are developed. The topological character of vortex sheets is maintained rather than resorting to point vortex discretizations. Beyond this, there are two theoretical novelties to our approach as compared to previous studies. First, an expansion is applied to the attached outer flow rather than the vortex sheet circulations and positions. This allows the asymmetric effect of the sweeping component of the free-stream flow parallel to the plate to be built-in to the same governing equation as the singular-order flow. Second, we develop a time-dependent self similarity procedure that allows the modeling of more complex evolution of the flow structures. This is accomplished through an implicit time variation of the similarity variables. As a collective result, the predicted vortex dynamics and forces on the plate compare favorably to Navier-Stokes simulations. Lastly, the model is utilized to provide some new intuition about the separated flow at the leading edge.
The turbulent boundary layer over a flat plate is computed by direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations as a test bed for a synthetic turbulence generator (STG) inflow boundary condition. The inlet momentum thick
ness Reynolds number is approximately 1,000. The study provides validation of the ability of the STG to develop accurate turbulence in 5 to 7 boundary layer thicknesses downstream of the boundary condition. Also tested was the effect of changes in the stabilization scheme on the development of the boundary layer. Moreover, the grid resolution required for both the development region and the downstream flow is investigated when using a stabilized finite element method.
We consider a 9-PDE (1-space and 1-time) model of plane Couette flow in which the degrees of freedom are severely restricted in the streamwise and cross-stream directions to study spanwise localisation in detail. Of the many steady Eckhaus (spanwise
modulational) instabilities identified of global steady states, none lead to a localized state. Localized periodic solutions were found instead which arise in saddle node bifurcations in the Reynolds number. These solutions appear global (domain filling) in narrow (small spanwise) domains yet can be smoothly continued out to fully spanwise-localised states in very wide domains. This smooth localisation behaviour, which has also been seen in fully-resolved duct flow (Okino 2011), indicates that an apparently global flow structure neednt have to suffer a modulational instability to localize in wide domains.
