Fundamental insight into the physics of buoyant gas dispersion from realistic flow geometries is necessary to accurately predict flow structures associated with hydrogen outflow from accidental leaks and the associated flammability envelope. Using helium as an experimental proxy, turbulent buoyant jets issuing from high-aspect-ratio slots on the side wall of a circular tube were studied experimentally applying simultaneous particle image velocimetry (PIV) and planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) techniques. Two slots with an aspect ratio of 10 were considered in this study. The effects of buoyancy, asymmetry, jet densities and Reynolds numbers on the resulting flow structure were studied in both vertical and horizontal orientations. Significant discrepancies were found between the evolution of current realistic jets issuing from curved surfaces and those conventional high-aspect-ratio jets originating from flat surfaces. These realistic pipeline leak-representative jets were found to deflect along the jet streamwise axis. It was found that increases in aspect ratio caused a reduction in the angle of deflection, jet centreline decay rates and the width growth on both velocity and scalar fields compared to their non-planar round jet counterparts, most notably in the far field.

Buoyancy effects and nozzle geometry can have a significant impact on turbulent jet dispersion. This work was motivated by applications involving hydrogen. Using helium as an experimental proxy, buoyant horizontal jets issuing from a round orifice on
the side wall of a circular tube were analysed experimentally using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) techniques simultaneously to provide instantaneous and time-averaged flow fields of velocity and concentration. Effects of buoyancy and asymmetry on the resulting flow structure were studied over a range of Reynolds numbers and gas densities. Significant differences were found between the centreline trajectory, spreading rate, and velocity decay of conventional horizontal round axisymmetric jets issuing through flat plates and the pipeline leak-representative jets considered in the present study. The realistic pipeline jets were always asymmetric and found to deflect about the jet axis in the near field. In the far field, it was found that the realistic pipeline leak geometry causes buoyancy effects to dominate much sooner than expected compared to horizontal round jets issuing through flat plates.
Closed-loop control of turbulent flows is a challenging problem with important practical and fundamental implications. We perform closed-loop control of forced, turbulent jets based on a wave-cancellation strategy. The study is motivated by the succe
ss of recent studies in applying wave cancellation to control instability waves in transitional boundary layers and free-shear flows. Using a control law obtained through a system-identification technique, we successfully implement wave-cancellation-based, closed-loop control, achieving order-of-magnitude attenuations of velocity fluctuations. Control is shown to reduce fluctuation levels over an extensive streamwise range.
We present high-precision experimental and numerical studies of the Nusselt number $Nu$ as functions of the Rayleigh number $Ra$ in geostrophic rotating convection with domain aspect ratio ${Gamma}$ varying from 0.4 to 3.8 and the Ekman number Ek fro
m $2.0{times}10^{-7}$ to $2.7{times}10^{-5}$. The heat-transport data $Nu(Ra)$ reveal a gradual transition from buoyancy-dominated to geostrophic convection at large $Ek$, whereas the transition becomes sharp with decreasing $Ek$. We determine the power-law scaling of $Nu{sim}Ra^{gamma}$, and show that the boundary flows give rise to pronounced enhancement of $Nu$ in a broad range of the geostrophic regime, leading to reduction of the scaling exponent ${gamma}$ in small ${Gamma}$ cells. The present work provides new insight into the heat-transport scaling in geostrophic convection and may explain the discrepancies observed in previous studies.
In a plane Couette cell a thin fluid layer consisting of water is sheared between a transparent band at Reynolds numbers ranging from 300 to 1400. The length of the cells flow channel is large compared to the film separation. To extract the flow velo
city in the experiments a correlation image velocimetry (CIV) method is used on pictures recorded with a high speed camera. The flow is recorded at a resolution that allows to analyze flow patterns similar in size to the film separation. The fluid flow is then studied by calculating flow velocity autocorrelation functions. The turbulent pattern that arise on this scale above a critical Reynolds number of Re=360 display characteristic patterns that are proven with the calculated velocity autocorrelation functions. The patterns are metastable and reappear at different positions and times throughout the experiments. Typically these patterns are turbulent rolls which are elongated in the stream direction which is the direction the band is moving. Although the flow states are metastable they possess similarities to the steady Taylor vortices known to appear in circular Taylor Couette cells.
In this numerical study on two-dimensional Rayleigh-Benard convection we consider $10^7 leq Ra leq 10^{12}$ in aspect ratio $0.23 leq Gamma leq 13$ samples. We focus on several cases. First we consider small aspect ratio cells, where at high Ra numbe
r we find a sharp transition from a low Ra number branch towards a high Ra number branch, due to changes in the flow structure. Subsequently, we show that the influence of the aspect ratio on the heat transport decreases with increasing aspect ratio, although even at very large aspect ratio of $Gammaapprox10$ variations up to 2.5% in the heat transport as a function of Gamma are observed. Finally, we observe long-lived transients up to at least $Ra=10^9$, as in certain aspect ratio cells we observe different flow states that are stable for thousands of turnover times.
