This work deals with the closed-loop control of streaky structures induced by free-stream turbulence in a zero-pressure gradient, transitional boundary layer, by means of localized sensors and actuators. A linear quadratic gaussian regulator is considered along with a system identification technique to build reduced-order models for control. Three actuators are developed with different spatial supports, corresponding to a baseline shape with only vertical forcing, and to two other shapes obtained by different optimization procedures. A computationally efficient method is derived to obtain an actuator which aims to induce the exact structures which are inside the boundary layer, given in terms of their first spectral proper orthogonal decomposition mode, and an actuator that maximizes the energy of induced downstream structures. Two free-stream turbulence levels were evaluated, corresponding to 3.0% and 3.5%, and closed-loop control is applied in large-eddy simulations of transitional boundary layers. All three actuators lead to significant delays in the transition to turbulence and were shown to be robust to mild variations in the free-stream turbulence levels. Differences are understood in terms of the SPOD of actuation and FST-induced fields along with the causality of the control scheme. The actuator optimized to generate the leading downstream SPOD mode, representing the streaks in the open-loop flow, leads to the highest transition delay, which can be understood due to its capability of closely cancelling structures in the boundary layer. However, it is shown that even with the actuator located downstream of the input measurement it may become impossible to cancel incoming disturbances in a causal way, depending on the wall-normal position of the output and on the actuator considered, which limits sensor and actuator placement capable of good closed-loop performance.

We investigate the structures of the near-plate velocity and temperature profiles at different horizontal positions along the conducting bottom (and top) plate of a Rayleigh-B{e}nard convection cell, using two-dimensional (2D) numerical data obtained
at the Rayleigh number Ra=10^8 and the Prandtl number Pr=4.4 of an Oberbeck-Boussinesq flow with constant material parameters. The results show that most of the time, and for both velocity and temperature, the instantaneous profiles scaled by the dynamical frame method [Q. Zhou and K.-Q. Xia, Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 104301 (2010) agree well with the classical Prandtl-Blasius laminar boundary layer (BL) profiles. Therefore, when averaging in the dynamical reference frames, which fluctuate with the respective instantaneous kinematic and thermal BL thicknesses, the obtained mean velocity and temperature profiles are also of Prandtl-Blasius type for nearly all horizontal positions. We further show that in certain situations the traditional definitions based on the time-averaged profiles can lead to unphysical BL thicknesses, while the dynamical method also in such cases can provide a well-defined BL thickness for both the kinematic and the thermal BLs.
When the classical Rayleigh-Benard (RB) system is rotated about its vertical axis roughly three regimes can be identified. In regime I (weak rotation) the large scale circulation (LSC) is the dominant feature of the flow. In regime II (moderate rotat
ion) the LSC is replaced by vertically aligned vortices. Regime III (strong rotation) is characterized by suppression of the vertical velocity fluctuations. Using results from experiments and direct numerical simulations of RB convection for a cell with a diameter-to-height aspect ratio equal to one at $Ra sim 10^8-10^9$ ($Pr=4-6$) and $0 lesssim 1/Ro lesssim 25$ we identified the characteristics of the azimuthal temperature profiles at the sidewall in the different regimes. In regime I the azimuthal wall temperature profile shows a cosine shape and a vertical temperature gradient due to plumes that travel with the LSC close to the sidewall. In regime II and III this cosine profile disappears, but the vertical wall temperature gradient is still observed. It turns out that the vertical wall temperature gradient in regimes II and III has a different origin than that observed in regime I. It is caused by boundary layer dynamics characteristic for rotating flows, which drives a secondary flow that transports hot fluid up the sidewall in the lower part of the container and cold fluid downwards along the sidewall in the top part.
Mixing layers can grow in time or space by vortex pairings that succeed each other in a nearly self-similar way. We use a point vortex model to study how confinement eventually limits this growth process, leading us to propose a wavelength selection mechanism for free shear layers with counterflow.
We evaluate the effect of boundary layer losses on two-dimensional H2/O2/Ar cellular detonations obtained in narrow channels. The experiments provide the details of the cellular structure and the detonation speed deficits from the ideal CJ speed. We
model the effect of the boundary layer losses by incorporating the flow divergence in the third dimension due to the negative boundary layer displacement thickness, modeled using Mirels theory. The cellular structures obtained numerically with the resulting quasi-2D formulation of the reactive Euler equations with two-step chain-branching chemistry are found in excellent agreement with experiment, both in terms of cell dynamics and velocity deficits, provided the boundary layer constant of Mirels is modified by a factor of 2. A significant increase in the cell size is found with increasing velocity deficit. This is found to be very well captured by the induction zone increase in slower detonations due to the lower temperatures in the induction zone.
Regimes of interactions between motions on different time-scales are investigated in the FLOSSII dataset for nocturnal near-surface stable boundary layer (SBL) turbulence. The non-stationary response of turbulent vertical velocity variance to non-tur
bulent, sub-mesoscale wind velocity variability is analysed using the bounded variation, finite element, vector autoregressive factor models (FEM-BV-VARX) clustering method. Several locally stationary flow regimes are identified with different influences of sub-meso wind velocity on the turbulent vertical velocity variance. In each flow regime, we analyse multiple scale interactions and quantify the amount of turbulent variability which can be statistically explained by external forcing by the sub-meso wind velocity. The state of anisotropy of the Reynolds stress tensor in the different flow regimes is shown to relate to these different signatures of scale interactions. In flow regimes under considerable influence of the sub-mesoscale wind variability, the Reynolds stresses show a clear preference for strongly anisotropic, one-component states. These periods additionally show stronger persistence in their dynamics, compared to periods of more isotropic stresses. The analyses give insights on how the different topologies relate to non-stationary turbulence triggering by sub-mesoscale motions.
