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 changes 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.
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.
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
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
This paper proposes a new data assimilation method for recovering high fidelity turbulent flow field around airfoil at high Reynolds numbers based on experimental data, which is called Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Inversion (POD-Inversion) data as
The excitation and further sustenance of large-scale magnetic fields in rotating astrophysical systems, including planets, stars and galaxies, is generally thought to involve a fluid magnetic dynamo effect driven by helical magnetohydrodynamic turbul
