A circular disc impacting on a water surface creates a remarkably vigorous jet. Upon impact an axisymmetric air cavity forms and eventually pinches off in a single point halfway down the cavity. Immediately after closure two fast sharp-pointed jets are observed shooting up- and downwards from the closure location, which by then has turned into a stagnation point surrounded by a locally hyperbolic flow pattern. This flow, however, is {it not} the mechanism feeding the two jets. Using high-speed imaging and numerical simulations we show that jetting is fed by the local flow around the base of the jet, which is forced by the colliding cavity walls. Based on this insight, we then show how the analytical description of a collapsing void (using a line of sinks along the axis of symmetry) can be continued beyond the time of pinch-off to obtain a quantitative model for jet formation which is in good agreement with the numerical and experimental data.

Boundary-layer transition triggered by a roughness element generates a turbulent wedge that spreads laterally as the flow proceeds downstream. The spreading half angle is about $6^{circ}$ in zero-pressure-gradient flows regardless of Reynolds number
and roughness shape. Recent simulations and experiments have sought to explain the lateral-spreading mechanism and have observed high- and low-speed streaks along the flanks of the wedge that appear central to the spreading process. To better elucidate the role of streaks, a naphthalene flow-visualization survey and hotwire measurements are conducted over a wider range of Reynolds numbers and a longer streamwise domain than previous experiments. The results reconfirm the spreading half angle is insensitive to Reynolds numbers based on roughness location, $Re_{x,k}$, and roughness height, $Re_{kk}$. When made nondimensional by the unit Reynolds number, the distance from the roughness to the effective origin of the turbulent wedge and to the first high-speed flanking streaks depends on $Re_{kk}$ but not $Re_{x,k}$. The distance between the first and second high-speed streaks is also observed to depend on $Re_{kk}$. In spite of a long measurement domain, third streaks are not observed and it remains unknown whether subsequent streak-to-streak distances collapse to a universal value. The reason downstream streaks are not observed may be low-frequency meandering of streak structures. Hotwire measurements confirm breakdown to turbulence first occurs via a shear-layer instability above low-speed streaks. Farther downstream, high-intensity broadband fluctuations are observed in equivalent positions on secondary low-speed streaks.
The interaction between planetary waves and an arbitrary zonal flow is studied from a phase-space viewpoint. Using the Wigner distribution, a planetary wave Vlasov equation is derived that includes the contribution of the mean flow to the zonal poten
tial vorticity gradient. This equation is applied to the problem of planetary wave modulational instability, where it is used to predict a fastest growing mode of finite wavenumber. A wave-mean flow numerical model is used to test the analytical predictions, and an intuitive explanation of modulational instability and jet asymmetry is given via the motion of planetary wavepackets in phase space.
A series of Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of lean methane/air flames was conducted in order to investigate the enhancement of the turbulent flame speed and modifications to the reaction layer structure associated with the systematic increase of
the integral scale of turbulence $l$ while the Karlovitz number and the Kolmogorov scale are kept constant. Four turbulent slot jet flames are simulated at increasing Reynolds number and up to $Re approx 22000$, defined based on the bulk velocity, slot width, and the reactants properties. The turbulent flame speed $S_T$ is evaluated locally at select streamwise locations and it is observed to increase both in the streamwise direction for each flame and across flames for increasing Reynolds number, in line with a corresponding increase of the turbulent integral scale. In particular, the turbulent flame speed $S_T$ increases exponentially with the integral scale for $l$ up to about 6 laminar flame thicknesses, while the scaling becomes a power-law for larger values of $l$. These trends cannot be ascribed completely to the increase in the flame surface, since the turbulent flame speed looses its proportionality to the flame area as the integral scale increases; in particular, it is found that the ratio of turbulent flame speed to area attains a power-law scaling $l^{0.2}$. This is caused by an overall broadening of the reaction layer for increasing integral scale, which is not associated with a corresponding decrease of the reaction rate, causing a net enhancement of the overall burning rate. This observation is significant since it suggests that a continuous increase in the size of the largest scales of turbulence might be responsible for progressively stronger modifications of the flames inner layers even if the smallest scales, i.e., the Karlovitz number, are kept constant.
The injection of liquid fuel at supercritical pressures is a relevant topic in combustion, but usually overlooked. In the past, the wrong assumption whereby the liquid experiments a fast transition to a supercritical state was made, thus neglecting a
ny role of two-phase interface dynamics in the early stages of the atomization process. However, recent studies have shown that local thermodynamic phase equilibrium and mixing between the involved species allow the coexistence of both phases in this pressure range. In this work, a Volume-of-Fluid method adapted to variable-density real fluids is used to solve the low-Mach-number governing equations coupled with a thermodynamic model based on the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state. The mixing process, interface thermodynamics and early deformation of a cool liquid jet composed of n-decane surrounded by a hotter gas composed of oxygen at 150 bar are analyzed. Although heat conducts from the hotter gas into the liquid, net condensation can provide the proper local energy balance at high pressures. Then, vaporization and condensation may happen simultaneously at different interface locations. As pressure increases, liquid and gas mixtures become more alike in the vicinity of the interface. Thus, a combination of low surface tension force and gas-like liquid viscosities causes an early growth of surface instabilities. Early results indicate some similarity with high-Weber-number incompressible flows. The role of vortex dynamics on the interface deformation is analyzed by using the dynamical vortex identification method.
Impact of a droplet on an undercooled surface is a complex phenomenon as it simultaneously instigates several physical processes that cover a broad spectrum of transport phenomena and phase-transition. Here, we report and explain an unexpected but hi
ghly relevant phenomenon of fingered growth of the solid-phase. It emerges during the impact of a binary droplet that freezes from the outside prior to the impact on the undercooled surface. We establish that the presence of pre-solidified material at the advancing contact line fundamentally changes the resulting dynamics, namely by modifying the local flow mobility that leads to an instability analogous to viscous fingering. Moreover, we delineate the interplay between the interfacial deformations of the impacting droplet and patterned growth of the solid-phase as disconnected patterns emerge at faster impacts.
