Direct numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the flow features responsible for secondary tones arising in trailing-edge noise at moderate Reynolds numbers. Simulations are performed for a NACA 0012 airfoil at freestream Mach numbers 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 for angle of incidence 0 deg. and for Mach number 0.3 at 3 deg. angle of incidence. The Reynolds number based on the airfoil chord is fixed at $Re_c=10^5$. Flow configurations are investigated where noise generation arises from the scattering of boundary layer instabilities at the trailing edge. Results show that noise emission has a main tone with equidistant secondary tones, as discussed in literature. An interesting feature of the present flows at zero incidence is shown; despite the geometric symmetry, the flows become non-symmetric with a separation bubble only on one side of the airfoil. A separation bubble is also observed for the non-zero incidence flow. For both angles of incidence analyzed, it is shown that low-frequency motion of the separation bubbles induce a frequency modulation of the flow instabilities developed along the airfoil boundary layer. When the airfoil is at 0 deg. angle of attack an intense amplitude modulation is also observed in the flow quantities, resulting in a complex vortex interaction mechanism at the trailing edge. Both amplitude and frequency modulations directly affect the velocity and pressure fluctuations that are scattered at the trailing edge, what leads to secondary tones in the acoustic radiation.

A numerical study of stably stratified flows past spheres at Reynolds numbers $Re=200$ and $Re=300$ is reported. In these flow regimes, a neutrally stratified laminar flow induces distinctly different near-wake features. However, the flow behaviour c
hanges significantly as the stratification increases and suppresses the scale of vertical displacements of fluid parcels. Computations for a range of Froude numbers $Frin [0.1,infty]$ show that as Froude number decreases, the flow patterns for both Reynolds numbers become similar. The representative simulations of the lee-wave instability at $Fr=0.625$ and the two-dimensional vortex shedding at $Fr=0.25$ regimes are illustrated for flows past single and tandem spheres, thereby providing further insight into the dynamics of stratified flows past bluff bodies. In particular, the reported study examines the relative influence of viscosity and stratification on the dividing streamline elevation, wake structure and flow separation. The solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in the incompressible Boussinesq limit are obtained on unstructured meshes suitable for simulations involving multiple bodies. Computations are accomplished using the finite volume, non-oscillatory forward-in-time (NFT) Multidimensional Positive Definite Transport Algorithm (MPDATA) based solver. The impact and validity of the numerical approximations, especially for the cases exhibiting strong stratification, are also discussed. Qualitative and quantitative comparisons with available laboratory experiments and prior numerical studies confirm the validity of the numerical approach.
In view of new experimental data the instability against adiabatic nonaxisymmetric perturbations of a Taylor-Couette flow with an axial density stratification is considered in dependence of the Reynolds number Re of rotation and the Brunt-Vaisala num
ber Rn of the stratification. The flows at and beyond the Rayleigh limit become unstable between a lower and an upper Reynolds number (for fixed Rn). The rotation can thus be too slow or too fast for the stratorotational instability. The upper Reynolds number above which the instability decays, has its maximum value for the potential flow (driven by cylinders rotating according to the Rayleigh limit) and decreases strongly for flatter rotation profiles finally leaving only isolated islands of instability in the (Rn/Re) map. The maximal possible rotation ratio $mu_{rm max}$ only slightly exceeds the shear value of the quasi-uniform flow with $U_phisimeq$const. Along and between the lines of neutral stability the wave numbers of the instability patterns for all rotation laws beyond the Rayleigh limit are mainly determined by the Froude number Fr which is defined by the ratio between Re and Rn. The cells are highly prolate for Fr>1 so that measurements for too high Reynolds numbers become difficult for axially bounded containers. The instability patterns migrate azimuthally slightly faster than the outer cylinder rotates.
Motivated by the problem of jet-flap interaction noise, we study the tonal dynamics that occur when a sharp edge is placed in the hydrodynamic nearfield of an isothermal turbulent jet. We perform hydrodynamic and acoustic pressure measurements in ord
er to characterise the tones as a function of Mach number and streamwise edge position. The distribution of spectral peaks observed, as a function of Mach number, cannot be explained using the usual edge-tone scenario, in which resonance is underpinned by coupling between downstream-travelling Kelvin-Helmholtz wavepackets and upstream-travelling sound waves. We show, rather, that the strongest tones are due to coupling between the former and upstream-travelling jet modes recently studied by Towne et al. (2017) and Schmidt et al. (2017). We also study the band-limited nature of the resonance, showing a high-frequency cut-off to be due to the frequency dependence of the upstream-travelling waves. At high Mach number these become evanescent above a certain frequency, whereas at low Mach number they become progressively trapped with increasing frequency, a consequence of which is their not being reflected in the nozzle plane. Additionally, a weaker, low-frequency, forced-resonance regime is identified that involves the same upstream travelling jet modes but that couple, in this instance, with downstream-travelling sound waves. It is suggested that the existence of two resonance regimes may be due to the non-modal nature of wavepacket dynamics at low-frequency.
In this video, we present the dynamics of an array of falling particles at intermediate Reynolds numbers. The film shows the vorticity plots of 3, 4, 7, 16 falling particles at $Re = 200$. We highlight the effect of parity on the falling configuratio
n of the array. In steady state, an initially uniformly spaced array forms a convex shape when $n=3$, i.e the middle particle leads, but forms a concave shape when $n = 4$. For larger odd numbers of particles, the final state consists of a mixture of concave and convex shapes. For larger even numbers of particles, the steady state remains a concave shape. Below a threshold of initial particle spacing, particles cluster in groups of 2 to 3.
The elementary structures of turbulence, i.e., vortex tubes, are studied using velocity data obtained in laboratory experiments for boundary layers and duct flows at microscale Reynolds numbers 332-1934. While past experimental studies focused on int
ense vortex tubes, the present study focuses on all vortex tubes with various intensities. We obtain the mean velocity profile. The radius scales with the Kolmogorov length. The circulation velocity scales with the Kolmogorov velocity, in contrast to the case of intense vortex tubes alone where the circulation velocity scales with the rms velocity fluctuation. Since these scaling laws are independent of the configuration for turbulence production, they appear to be universal at high Reynolds numbers.
