In this paper, we proceed exploring the case of non-stationary helical flows of the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluids with variable (spatially dependent) coefficient of proportionality between velocity and the curl field of flow. Meanwhile, the system of Navier-Stokes equations (including continuity equation) has been successfully explored previously with respect to the existence of analytical way for presentation of non-stationary helical flows of the aforementioned type. The main motivation of the current research is the exploring the stability of previously obtained helical flows. Conditions for the stability criteria of the exact solution for the aforementioned type of flows are obtained, for which non-stationary helical flow with invariant Bernoulli-function is considered. As it has been formulated before, the spatial part of the pressure field of the fluid flow should be determined via Bernoulli-function, if components of the velocity of the flow are already obtained.

We introduce two new singularity detection criteria based on the work of Duchon-Robert (DR) [J. Duchon and R. Robert, Nonlinearity, 13, 249 (2000)], and Eyink [G.L. Eyink, Phys. Rev. E, 74 (2006)] which allow for the local detection of singularities with scaling exponent $hleqslant1/2$ in experimental flows, using PIV measurements. We show that in order to detect such singularities, one does not need to have access to the whole velocity field inside a volume but can instead look for them from stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) data on a plane. We discuss the link with the Beale-Kato-Majda (BKM) [J.T. Beale, T. Kato, A. Majda, Commun. Math. Phys., 94, 61 (1984)] criterion, based on the blowup of vorticity, which applies to singularities of Navier-Stokes equations. We illustrate our discussion using tomographic PIV data obtained inside a high Reynolds number flow generated inside the boundary layer of a wind tunnel. In such a case, BKM and DR criteria are well correlated with each other.
We reveal and investigate a new type of linear axisymmetric helical magnetorotational instability which is capable of destabilizing viscous and resistive rotational flows with radially increasing angular velocity, or positive shear. This instability is double-diffusive by nature and is different from the more familiar helical magnetorotational instability, operating at positive shear above the Liu limit, in that it works instead for a wide range of the positive shear when ${rm (i)}$ a combination of axial/poloidal and azimuthal/toroidal magnetic fields is applied and ${rm (ii)}$ the magnetic Prandtl number is not too close to unity. We study this instability first with radially local WKB analysis and then confirm its existence using a global stability analysis of the magnetized flow between two rotating cylinders with conducting or insulating boundaries. From an experimental point of view, we also demonstrate the presence of the new instability in a magnetized viscous and resistive Taylor-Couette flow with positive shear for such values of the flow parameters, which can be realized in upcoming experiments at the DRESDYN facility. Finally, this instability might have implications for the dynamics of the equatorial parts of the solar tachocline and dynamo action there, since the above two necessary conditions for the instability to take place are satisfied in this region. Our global stability calculations for the tachocline-like configuration, representing a thin rotating cylindrical layer with the appropriate boundary conditions -- conducting inner and insulating outer cylinders -- and the values of the flow parameters, indicate that it can indeed arise in this case with a characteristic growth time comparable to the solar cycle period.

A new methodology based on energy flux similarity is suggested in this paper for large eddy simulation (LES) of transitional and turbulent flows. Existing knowledge reveals that the energy cascade generally exists in transitional and turbulent flows with different distributions, and the characteristic quantity of scale interaction in energy cascade processes is energy flux. Therefore, energy flux similarity is selected as the basic criterion to secure the flow field getting from LES highly similar to the real flow field. Through a priori tests, we find that the energy flux from the tensor-diffusivity (TD) model has high similarity with the real energy flux. Then, we modify the modelled energy flux from the TD model and obtain uniform formulas of energy flux similarity corresponding to different filter widths and locations in the wall-bounded turbulence. To secure the robustness of simulation and the LES results similar to the real flow, we apply the energy flux similarity method (EFSM) to the Smagorinsky model in the LES of compressible turbulent channel flow, compressible flat-plate flow, and flow over a compressible ramp. The a posteriori tests show that, overall, EFSM can better predict these flows than other subgrid-scale models. In the simulation of turbulent channel flow, EFSM can accurately predict the mean stream-wise velocity, Reynolds stress, and affluent coherent structures. In LES of compressible flat-plate flow, EFSM could provide accurate simulation results of the onset of transition and transition peak, skin friction, and mean stream-wise velocity in cases with three different grid scales. Meanwhile, for flow over a compressible ramp, EFSM could correctly describe the process of bypass transition, locations of separation and reattachment in the corner region, and abundant coherent vortex structures, etc.
Several different kinds of criteria for non-equilibrium phase separation to discriminate the two stages, the spinnodal decompostion (SD) and domain growth (DG), are compared and further investigated. The characteristic domain size and morphological f unction present two geometric criteria. Both of them can only provide rough estimations for the crossover from SD to DG. The reason for domain size is that the crossover in this description covers a process, instead of a specific time. The reason for the morphological function is that the result may rely on chosen threshold value. However, both the non-equilibrium strength and the entropy production rate are physical criteria and are more convenient to provide critical times. In fact, not only the non-equilibrium strength defined in the moment space opened by all the independent components of the used non-equilibrium quantities but also those defined in its subspaces can be used as criteria. Each of those criteria characterizes the phase separation process from its own perspective. Consequently, the obtained critical times may show slight differences. It should be pointed out that these slight differences are not contradictive, but consistent with each other and complementary in describing the complex phenomena.
Modal stability analysis provides information about the long-time growth or decay of small-amplitude perturbations around a steady-state solution of a dynamical system. In fluid flows, exponentially growing perturbations can initiate departure from l aminar flow and trigger transition to turbulence. Although flow of a Newtonian fluid through a pipe is linearly stable for very large values of the Reynolds number ($Re sim 10^7$), a transition to turbulence often occurs for $Re$ as low as $1500$. When a dilute polymer solution is used in the place of a Newtonian fluid, the transitional value of the Reynolds number decreases even further. Using the spectral collocation method and Oldroyd-B constitutive equation, Garg et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 121:024502, 2018) claimed that such a transition in viscoelastic fluids is related to linear instability. Since differential matrices in the collocation method become ill-conditioned when a large number of basis functions is used, we revisit this problem using the well-conditioned spectral integration method. We show modal stability of viscoelastic pipe flow for a broad range of fluid elasticities and polymer concentrations, including cases considered by Garg et al. Similarly, we find that plane Poiseuille flow is linearly stable for cases where Garg et al. report instability. In both channel and pipe flows, we establish the existence of spurious modes that diverge slowly with finer discretization and demonstrate that these can be mistaken for grid-independent modes if the discretization is not fine enough.
